"Ruiz only appeared in 19 games for the Dodgers this past season, batting .190/.261/.333 with one home run, two RBI, two runs scored, four stolen bases and a 67 wRC+ across 23 plate appearances. Once a former top prospect, Ruiz has appeared in 197 games over parts of four seasons. He's spent time with the San Diego Padres and Milwaukee Brewers in addition to the Athletics and Dodgers."
"He led the American League with 67 stolen bases in 2023, which was Ruiz's only full season at the MLB level. Why did Dodgers trade Esteury Ruiz for Adriano Marrero? Ruiz didn't figure to factor heavily into the Dodgers' plans for 2026, and with the trade the team has opened one spot on their 40-man roster that now has 39 players."
Esteury Ruiz was traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Miami Marlins in exchange for pitching prospect Adriano Marrero. Ruiz played 19 games for the Dodgers this season and posted a .190/.261/.333 line with one home run, two RBI, four stolen bases and a 67 wRC+ in 23 plate appearances. Ruiz has 197 MLB games across four seasons, hitting .241/.296/.343 with eight homers, 77 stolen bases and an 81 wRC+ from 2022–2025, and he led the American League with 67 stolen bases in 2023. The trade opened a 40-man roster spot as the Dodgers add a young right-handed arm and assess outfield options.
