""Tommy certainly won't be ready for Opening Day," manager Dave Roberts said. "He took some swings a couple days ago, both sides, he did some skipping, some light jogging, I think it was. Getting his body into baseball shape. Obviously, he's not going to be ready for the start of camp and he's in that same bucket of 'when he's ready he's ready.' Each day there's progress.""
"Los Angeles has long valued versatile players under the president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman, who has added players like Kike Hernandez, Miguel Rojas, and Chris Taylor over the years, keeping them on for multiple years. Espinal could become the latest addition to become a veteran, versatile mainstay if he can turn things around as a hitter."
Tommy Edman will not be ready for Opening Day as he continues light activity including swings, skipping, and jogging while building baseball conditioning. The Dodgers signed infielder Santiago Espinal to a minor league deal to add versatile depth across second base, third base, shortstop, and the outfield. Espinal is a six-year veteran with recent time in Toronto and Cincinnati. Los Angeles under Andrew Friedman prioritizes versatile veterans like Kike Hernandez, Miguel Rojas, and Chris Taylor; Espinal could join that group if he improves as a hitter. The move covers infield and outfield depth while Edman recovers.
