Dodgers’ Roster Decisions Loom as Tommy Edman, Teoscar Hernandez Near Return
- The Dodgers designated Austin Barnes for assignment to promote top prospect Dalton Rushing to the major-league roster in early May 2025.
- This move coincides with the expected near-term returns of injured players Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez, prompting roster adjustments.
- James Outman will likely be optioned to Triple-A after a.125 batting average in nine games, and veteran utilityman Chris Taylor faces uncertainty due to Hyeseong Kim's strong performance.
- Shohei Ohtani advanced in his recovery by throwing 50 pitches over two simulated innings, while Clayton Kershaw was activated, Blake Snell moved to the 60-day IL, and Ryan Loutos was sent to Triple-A.
- These roster moves suggest the Dodgers aim to balance returning key players and promising newcomers, with Kim's performance influencing future lineup decisions.
