Dodgers Notes: Miguel Rojas, Michael Grove Return, Tommy Edman’s Role, Ohtani in the Outfield?
The Dodgers’ 9-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday hinged on one egregious call at third base, which prompted Dave Roberts’ argument and ejection in the sixth inning.
Here’s what else you might have missed Wednesday:
Dodgers Make Multiple Roster Moves
The Dodgers have adjusted their 26-man roster ahead of the series finale against the Phillies, activating infielder Miguel Rojas and right-handed pitcher Michael Grove. Meanwhile, outfielder James Outman has been demoted to Triple-A following another rough patch. Brusdar Graterol was placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain, as well.
Phillies Broadcaster Praises Dodgers’ Ohtani Deal
Shohei Ohtani continues to justify his hefty contract with exceptional performances that could lead the Dodgers to a World Series title. Phillies’ broadcaster and ex-GM Ruben Amaro Jr. hailed Ohtani as perhaps the best player he’s ever seen, underscoring the value of the Dodgers’ investment. As the Dodgers wrapped up their series against the Phillies, Amaro’s comments served as a reminder of Ohtani’s near-universal acclaim.
Will Ohtani Play The Field This Season?
Despite rumors and fan speculation, Dodgers president Andrew Friedman doubts Shohei Ohtani will play in the outfield this season as he continues to recover from elbow surgery. However, his stellar performance as a DH is raising hopes for an MVP award, adding intrigue to his already illustrious career.
Tommy Edman Discusses His Role Post-Injury
Injury has sidelined Tommy Edman this season, but he’s prepping for a dynamic role upon his return. Edman plans to return to the Dodgers at whatever infield or outfield position is available to him — a tribute to Edman’s versatility and a necessity given the Dodgers’ fluctuating needs in the field.
