The Los Angeles Dodgers made a shocking roster choice with a participant who got here by for them in an enormous manner earlier this week.
Veteran outfielder Jason Heyward has been designated for task, Robert Murray of FanSided reports.
Heyward is the odd man out in L.A., with Chris Taylor set to return from a rehab task. Taylor went on the 10-day injured checklist on July 25 with a groin pressure, and Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts mentioned the 33-year-old is predicted to be elevated to the MLB roster once more very quickly.
Kevin Kiermaier was one other candidate to be DFA’ed to make room for Taylor, however the Dodgers determined to stay with him.
Heyward, named an All-Star in 2010 and has received 5 Gold Glove Awards, has been a preferred veteran in L.A. over the previous two seasons. Although he’s batting simply .208 with six residence runs and 28 RBI in 63 video games this season, Heyward delivered an enormous pinch-hit residence run that helped elevate the Dodgers to a win over the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night time.
