"Ward was one of the favorites to make it onto the team coming into the offseason, but the Dodgers' signing of Kyle Tucker quickly derailed those hopes. With the outfield filled, Ward needed something special to make the Opening Day roster, but he didn't quite deliver. He slashed .156/.182/.219 through 12 games this spring."
"Kopp, 23, had an impressive few games with the Dodgers during his second spring training this year. Through his five games, Kopp pitched five innings and didn't allow a single earned run. He also managed three strikeouts during those outings."
"Duran also came in for his second spring training this season, though he didn't perform as well as Kopp. The Dodgers re-signed him this season after he left the A's' organization, and he allowed three runs in 2.1 innings pitched during the spring."
The Los Angeles Dodgers conducted roster cuts following their spring training loss to the Athletics. In their first round of cuts on March 2, eleven players were sent to minor league camp. Subsequently, ten additional players joined them in minor league assignment, while Ryan Ward and Ronan Kopp were optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Ward, an outfielder who was considered a favorite to make the roster, struggled significantly with a .156/.182/.219 slash line across 12 games. Ronan Kopp, a 23-year-old left-handed pitcher in his second spring training, performed impressively by pitching five innings without allowing an earned run while recording three strikeouts. Carlos Duran, a right-handed pitcher re-signed from the Athletics organization, allowed three runs in 2.1 innings pitched.
