Dodgers get rock-solid outfield spark plug in late trade deadline splash The Dodgers traded two pitching prospects for Nationals outfielder Alex Call.

JULY 31, 2025 • DODGERSWAY.COM

Moving west The Dodgers acquired Call from the Nationals on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Call, who is a bit of a late boomer at 30 years old, has been solid in 2025 with a .274/.371/.386 slash line across 197 at-bats. The outfielder joins the Dodgers after Los Angeles dealt James Outman to the Twins. With a .802 OPS against southpaws, Call can factor into the Dodgers' starting lineup against lefties.

On base three times in win Call went 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Twins.

Impact Getting the start in center field in place of Jacob Young (finger) and batting sixth, Call broke the game open in the fifth inning with a bases-loaded single against a drawn-in infield that deflected off the mound and over Minnesota second baseman Brooks Lee. Call has four hits and five RBI in the last two contests, but that big weekend comes on the heels of an 0-for-13 stretch since July 11. Young isn't expected to miss much time, but Call should continue to start in his absence.

CJ Abrams hits a leadoff homer and steals 3 bases as the Nationals beat the Twins 7-2

Three RBI off bench Call went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two additional RBI and one additional run scored in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Twins.

Impact He was originally set to sit Saturday but entered in the third inning after Jacob Young (finger) exited. Call went on to drive in three runs, highlighted by his third home run of the season in the seventh inning. While the outfielder hasn't shown much power this year (.392 SLG), he's been effective overall, posting a .275 batting average and .372 OBP over 70 games. His counting stats -- nine doubles, three homers, two triples and 24 RBI -- are modest, but his 114 wRC+ entering the contest reflects above-average offensive production.

Another three-hit effort Call went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Tigers.

Impact The 30-year-old outfielder is thriving in a short-side platoon role, banging out three hits in each of his last two starts. Call is slashing .294/.389/.405 on the season in 59 games with two homers, one steal, 20 RBI and 27 runs, but his workload seems unlikely to increase any time soon -- Daylen Lile has a 10-game hitting streak going on the strong side of the platoon with Call, and Dylan Crews (oblique) is expected back from the IL before the end of July.

Losing work to Lile Call is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Despite providing an .853 OPS over a stretch of 12 consecutive starts from June 4 through Monday, Call looks like he'll have to settle for a fourth outfielder role after the Nationals recalled Daylen Lile from Triple-A Rochester earlier this week. Lile will draw a second straight start in right field against a right-handed starting pitcher (German Marquez), while the right-handed-hitting Call has been on the bench for both of those contests. Lile and Call could end up operating in a platoon at the position until Dylan Crews (oblique) is cleared to return from the injured list.

Taking seat Tuesday Call is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Call had started each of the previous 12 games but will take a seat Tuesday. It's possible he will see a dip in playing time in favor of Daylen Lile, who was recalled Monday and will draw a second straight start in right field Tuesday.

Moving into full-time role Call will start in right field and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Mets.

Impact Call will be making his eighth consecutive start Thursday after going 7-for-20 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk over the previous seven contests. The return of Jacob Young from the injured list last Friday seemed as though it would put Call at risk of losing out on playing time, but Call has instead remained a fixture in the lineup against both righties and lefties, while Young has made all three of his starts versus southpaws over the Nationals' six games since he was activated. Call remains likely to see his role get downsized once Dylan Crews (oblique) is activated, though Crews' return doesn't seem to be imminent.

JUNE 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard again Sunday Call went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

Impact Starting in right field and batting leadoff with CJ Abrams getting a breather, Call took southpaw Jacob Latz (hand) deep in the fourth inning to get the Nationals on the board. Call has two homers on the season in 43 contests, and both came in the weekend series against Texas. The 30-year-old outfielder should continue to serve on the short side of a platoon with Robert Hassell in right field.
