Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed that outfielders James Outman and Esteury Ruiz are on the taxi squad, prepared to fill in due to injuries to Tommy Edman and Hyeseong Kim. Although Roberts reassured that Edman and Kim are healthy, they are currently sidelined. Outman, despite struggling in the majors, boasts strong minor league stats, while Ruiz, acquired from the Athletics, is performing well. Both players remain vital reinforcements for the Dodgers amid ongoing player health concerns.
In nine Major League games this season, Outman hit .125 with two home runs, four runs batted in and an OPS of .597. However, in the minors, he's much more productive, batting .271 with 12 home runs, 42 RBIs and a .904 OPS.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated that both James Outman and Esteury Ruiz are currently with the team on the taxi squad, prepared to step in if necessary.
Ruiz is hitting .274 with three home runs, 30 RBIs, and 27 stolen bases for OKC after being acquired from the Athletics in April.
The Dodgers have Edman and Kim recovering from injuries, with Roberts ensuring both are healthy, suggesting Ruiz and Outman are reinforcements rather than immediate roster changes.
