JAMES OUTMAN NEWS

Smacks pinch hit homer Outman went 1-for-2 with two runs scored and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact Outman pinch hit for Max Muncy in the seventh hitting, with the former drawing a walk before being brought home on a Hyeseong Kim RBI single. Outman added to the Dodgers' lead in the ninth inning with a three-run homer to center field. It was his first major-league home run of the season, and the 27-year-old outfielder should continue to see playing time in the outfield while Teoscar Hernandez (adductor) is on the 10-day injured list.

Promoted, starting Tuesday The Dodgers recalled Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he's starting in center field and batting eighth Tuesday against the Marlins.

Impact The 27-year-old will join the Dodgers for the first time in 2025 since Teoscar Hernadez was placed on the injured list with an adductor strain. Outman should see regular playing time against right-handed pitching, especially since Tommy Edman (ankle) is also on the shelf for at least a few more days. Outman has enjoyed a strong start to the Triple-A season with an .830 OPS and eight homers in 32 games, but his swing-and-miss issues are as present as ever with a 36.3 percent strikeout rate.

Sent to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Impact Outman was included on the Dodgers' season-opening 26-man active roster for the club's two-game set in Tokyo versus the Cubs this week, but he didn't appear in either contest. The 27-year-old functioned as the team's fourth outfielder in Japan, but since utility men Chris Taylor, Tommy Edman and Enrique Hernandez are all capable of playing both the infield and outfield, the Dodgers should be able to get by without Outman.

Impact The Dodgers kick off the MLB regular season with a two-game set against the Cubs in Tokyo on March 18 and 19, and the team will precede those contests with a pair of exhibition games against teams in the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization. While Outman is expected to be on the trip to Tokyo, a spot on Los Angeles' Opening Day big-league roster is far from a certainty. After a promising rookie campaign, the outfielder struggled in his sophomore season last year, posting a meager .521 OPS with a 35.3 percent strikeout rate over 156 plate appearances. Punchouts have continued to be a problem this spring -- Outman has fanned a team-leading 14 times in 29 plate appearances, though he does have a home run, five RBI and two stolen bases.

Back in majors Outman was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Impact With Kevin Kiermaier (dislocated finger) likely unavailable Sunday, Outman will offer quality defense and lefty power off the bench. Justin Wrobleski was optioned in a corresponding move.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Impact The return of Miguel Rojas (forearm) from the injured list Wednesday will squeeze Outman off the big-league roster and back into the minor leagues. After returning to the majors in late July, the 27-year-old outfielder appeared in seven games and went just 1-for-11 with a home run and two runs scored. Should the Dodgers run into depth problems in the outfield, he would likely be on the shortlist for a return to the majors.

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Clubs fourth homer Outman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Astros.

Impact This was Outman's first hit in his last 10 major-league contests. The outfielder opened the scoring with a fifth-inning blast. For the season, Outman has four homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases while slashing a meager .152/.248/.273 over 149 plate appearances. The 27-year-old is likely to continue seeing a limited role, though he has started in center field for the Dodgers' last two games versus right-handed pitchers. That suggests he could force his way into a platoon role with Andy Pages, who has hit just .208 with a punchless .522 OPS over 21 games in July.

JULY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in big leagues The Dodgers recalled Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact He will absorb the roster spot vacated by Chris Taylor (groin). Outman has slashed a woeful .153/.250/.258 in 45 games with the big club this season and will not be guaranteed regular at-bats while on the active roster.
