James Outman - Page 9 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Records first career two-HR game Outman went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBI in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

Impact Outman twice propelled the Dodgers into a lead with a long ball. In the third inning, he slugged a 420-foot solo homer to break a 1-1 tie. His next blast was more dramatic, as he smashed a ninth-inning grand slam to blow up what had been a 2-2 stalemate. This was Outman's first career multi-homer performance, and the five RBI were a career high. The rookie has impressed thus far in 2023, slashing .290/.397/.645 with five home runs, 15 RBI, 12 runs and two steals through 20 games.

Remains red hot Saturday Outman went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Impact Outman helped give the Dodgers an early lead with his booming 423-foot, two-run home run in the first inning. It was the rookie's second homer in as many games and his third of the campaign. Outman has staked his place as an everyday player for the Dodgers early in the season with a .348/.516/.913 slash line along with nine RBI and a stolen base through his first 31 plate appearances.

Homers again in loss Outman went 1-for-3 with a homer in Friday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Outman connected on a solo homer in the second off Madison Bumgarner to make it 2-1 Dodgers. That's the second homer of the season for the rookie outfielder, and he's already driven in seven runs. Outman is hitting an unsustainable .350/.519/.850 in the young year, but it's hard to not be impressed with what the 25-year-old has done to open the campaign.

Hits two triples in win Outman went 2-for-5 with two triples, three RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 13-4 win over the Rockies.

Impact After collecting two hits, including a home run, during Opening Day, Outman was held hitless over the next three games (four at-bats). However, he was back in the starting lineup Monday and notched his first two career triples, including a go-ahead two-run hit in the fifth that ended up being the difference in the game. Outman's versatile skillset makes him an extremely intriguing fantasy option, but his overall value will be tied to how often he can carve out playing time in the Dodgers's crowded outfield.

Notches first big-league steal Outman went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Impact After appearing only as a late defensive replacement when Arizona started a southpaw Saturday, Outman was back in the lineup as Los Angeles' starting center fielder Sunday. The rookie drew a walk in his first place appearance and was hit by a pitch in his third. Following the HBP, Outman swiped second base, but the Dodgers were unable to bring him home. The 25-year-old stole 23 bases in the minors as recently as 2021, so there is certainly some speed to his game. However, it's worth noting that manager Dave Roberts decided to pinch hit for Outman with light-hitting backup backstop Austin Barnes when the Diamondbacks brought in a lefty reliever in the ninth, so it appears that the team doesn't yet feel comfortable letting the rookie face left-handed pitching.

Gets night off against lefty Outman is not in the lineup for Saturday's showdown against the Diamondbacks, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Outman has started the first two games in center for the Dodgers, but with a left-hander on the mound in the form of Madison Bumgarner, Trayce Thompson will patrol center and hit seventh. Outman will likely not see much playing time against southpaws to at least open the 2023 season.

Homers, scores three runs Thursday Outman went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and three runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Making the start in center field, Outman took Cole Sulser deep in the sixth inning with a 390-foot shot which was measured at 105 mph off the bat. He also reached on a single and a walk, scoring on each of those occasions, as well. Outman has strikeout concerns and probably isn't going to play against lefties, but his power and speed potential makes him worth rostering in deeper formats.

Starting in CF in opener Outman is starting in center field and batting eighth in the Dodgers' season opener Thursday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Chris Taylor is on the bench. Outman made the Opening Day roster in Los Angeles following a fantastic showing in spring camp, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has stated that the 25-year-old will play regularly. He posted a stellar .978 OPS with 31 home runs, 106 RBI, 13 stolen bases and 101 runs scored over 125 games last season between Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he also went 6-for-13 (.462) in his first four major-league games. There's a whole lot of fantasy upside in his profile.
