The Los Angeles Dodgers have opted to send players Landon Knack, James Outman, and Matt Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City after their recent success in the Tokyo Series against the Chicago Cubs. Knack, who performed well in the series, logged invaluable innings, indicating his potential for future contributions. Contrarily, Sauer's struggles during Spring Training led him to be reassigned, while Outman's competition for a starting role in center field remains intense. The roster move also involved Clayton Kershaw being transferred to the 60-day injured list, adding more depth to the transition within the team.
The displacement of Knack, Outman, and Sauer from the Dodgers’ roster signifies anticipated roster adjustments following the Tokyo Series, highlighting ongoing player evaluations.
Sauer's subpar performance (8.22 ERA) in spring training, combined with his limited play in Japan, contributed to the decision to option him to Triple-A.
Knack’s standout pitching in the Tokyo Series underscored his potential role in the Dodgers' bullpen, showcasing his refined skills and improving velocity.
Outman faced competition for the center field position during Spring Training but ultimately did not appear in the Tokyo Series, leaving his future unclear.
