Twins recall OF James Outman, put OF Alan Roden (thumb) on IL
August 16 - The Minnesota Twins recalled James Outman from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday and placed fellow outfielder Alan Roden on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain. Outman, 28, is set to make his Twins debut after he batted .235 (12-for-51) with three home runs and 10 RBIs in 12 games with St. Paul. He was acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers at the trade deadline for right-hander Brock Stewart. Outman hit .224 with 30 homers and 88 RBIs in 230 games over four seasons with the Dodgers. The move is retroactive to Friday for Roden, who was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays at the trade deadline. Roden, 25, is 6-for-38 (.158) with one homer and one RBI and five runs in 12 games with Minnesota. He is batting .191 with two homers and nine RBIs in 55 career games with the Blue Jays and Twins after making his major league debut March 27. --Field Level Media

Dodgers' James Outman deals Twins an L with game-ending catch
The post Dodgers' James Outman deals Twins an L with game-ending catch appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Dodgers got the clutch play they desperately needed Monday night — and it came from center fielder James Outman, whose game-ending catch might be remembered as one of the most important defensive highlights of the team's season. Facing the Minnesota Twins at Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers clung to a 5-2 lead in the top of the ninth. With two outs and two runners aboard, Carlos Correa stepped to the plate, looking for redemption after a rough night at the plate and a chorus of 'Cheater!' chants from the home crowd. The stage was set for drama — and Outman came through when it mattered the most. With a 1-2 count, Correa launched a deep drive to center off reliever Kirby Yates. It looked destined to clear the fence and tie the game. But the Dodgers outfielder, sprinting back to the 395-foot marker, leapt at the wall and secured the catch in mid-air — ending the game and locking in a much-needed win for Los Angeles. A timely defensive play, and a solid reminder of how every inch matters in a playoff push. The Twins vs. Dodgers matchup carried postseason energy, and for good reason. Los Angeles entered the game with a 6-10 record since the beginning of July, their worst two-week span in months. Outman's game-ending catch helped preserve the 5-2 win, helping extend their NL West lead over the San Diego Padres to 3.5 games and offered a much-needed spark as the second half rolls on. The Talkin' Baseball Podcast shared the moment on X, formerly known as Twitter, capturing both the drama and the crowd's electric reaction. 'Carlos Correa was inches away from silencing the booing Dodgers crowd, but James Outman reeled it in for the final out' It was a crushing loss for the Twins, who are still trying to find consistency. Correa, now batting sixth in the lineup, went 0-for-5 and continues to face boos in Los Angeles stemming from his role in the 2017 Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal. His last swing of the night nearly flipped the script — until Outman intervened. The game opened with plenty of fireworks, and Shohei Ohtani added to the spectacle. After giving up a leadoff home run to Byron Buxton, he responded with a towering 441-foot two-run shot of his own in the bottom of the first inning. Though Ohtani pitched just three innings, the Dodgers bullpen held strong to secure the win. Will Smith added two more homers, and Andy Pages chipped in with a solo blast to give Los Angeles enough cushion before Outman slammed the door shut. Despite the close call from Correa, the Dodgers found a way to win — the kind of gritty finish you expect from a club chasing back-to-back World Series titles. Outman's heroics didn't just seal a victory. They symbolized the kind of resolve, defensive sharpness, and postseason poise the Dodgers will need down the stretch if they want to repeat.

Dodgers Make Move After Teoscar Hernandez Injury News
Dodgers Make Move After Teoscar Hernandez Injury News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is in his tenth major-league season and second with the Los Angeles Dodgers. After signing a one-year deal with Los Angeles in 2024, Hernandez delivered a career year, batting .272 and smashing 33 home runs, earning his second All-Star appearance, winning the Home Run Derby and playing a pivotal role in the Dodgers' World Series championship run. Advertisement As a result, his future in Los Angeles was secured this past offseason when he signed a three-year, $66 million contract, locking him in through the 2027 season. Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández (37) is congratulated by outfielder Tommy Edman (25)Brad Mills-Imagn Images Hernandez missed Sunday's matchup against the Houston Astros after fouling a ball off his left foot on Saturday, forcing him out of the lineup and leaving Los Angeles to adjust its outfield alignment. On Monday, the Dodgers recalled outfielder James Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City and placed infielder/outfielder Kiké Hernández on the 10-day injured list with left elbow inflammation. If Teoscar Hernandez sits out a second straight game, Outman—who finished third in National League Rookie of the Year voting in 2023—could see action in right field. With Kiké Hernandez sidelined, the Dodgers will be forced to lean on alternative options to cover the outfield. Advertisement Tommy Edman, the Dodgers' versatile utility man who can cover both infield and outfield, suffered a hairline fracture in his right pinky toe Saturday and was scratched from Sunday's lineup—leaving L.A. without another outfield option for the series opener against the Milwaukee Brewers. Los Angeles has already endured injuries to pitchers Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, but the recent losses among key position players will test the organization's offensive depth. With the All-Star break approaching, the Dodgers will need healthy contributors on offense to maintain their seven-game NL West lead over the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres.

Dodgers Predicted To Cut Ties With Former Top Prospect This Month
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to be very aggressive at the trade deadline this season as they push to win another World Series title. Injuries have destroyed the Dodgers' roster so far, but the trade market should be the best place to fix the team in the coming weeks. But if Los Angeles is going to bring in big talent, it's going to have to part ways with valuable pieces of its own. Henry Palattella of Dodgers Way recently suggested Los Angeles would cut ties with former top outfield prospect James Outman. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 15: James Outman #33 of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrates after hitting a solo home run in the sixth inning during a game against the Athletics at Dodger Stadium on... LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MAY 15: James Outman #33 of the Los Angeles Dodgers celebrates after hitting a solo home run in the sixth inning during a game against the Athletics at Dodger Stadium on May 15, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. More"While he's 28 now and doesn't have the same kind of pedigree he had in 2023 when he was one of the team's hottest prospects and finished third in the year in Rookie of the Year voting, there's still a chance a team would be interested in taking a chance on him. (He's hitting .278 with 19 home runs in Triple-A this year)," Palattella wrote. "He could also be expendable as well. The Dodgers have already shown that they don't view him as a piece of their future, so any team looking to trade with the Dodgers won't need to twist Los Angeles' arm to get Outman as a part of their deal. "Outman would be the perfect piece to use in a trade with a team that's straddling the line between buyer and seller, since he has MLB experience, but isn't eligible for free agency until 2030." Outman was once seen as an outfielder of the future in Los Angeles. But with the Dodgers spending so much money in free agency, the former top prospect is without a spot on the big league club. However, he's shown enough promise to generate interest in a trade this season. While the outfielder might not be the most valuable prospect because of his age, teams like the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies might be willing to take a chance on him in a trade deadline deal.
