Ahead of their series finale against the Angels, the Los Angeles Dodgers made two significant roster moves by releasing veteran Chris Taylor and activating Tommy Edman from the injured list. Kirby Yates, dealing with hamstring issues, was also placed on the IL. The Dodgers' decision to part ways with both Taylor and Austin Barnes underlines their unwavering goal to win, despite the emotional toll. Taylor's poor season performance featured a .200 batting average and an OPS of just .457, contributing to the team's choices as they navigate player injuries and lineup adjustments.
