The Dodgers made a surprising move in August by designating outfielder Jason Heyward for assignment, just before the game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This was to make room for Chris Taylor, who was activated from the injured list.
Highlights you might have missed on Thursday:
Patrick Copen, a rising star in the Dodgers organization, suffered a serious setback when he was struck in the face by a line drive during a minor league game. He will undergo surgery, ending his season prematurely. Will Rhymes, Dodgers director of player development, shared an update on Copen’s condition.
In other news, the Dodgers activated Chris Taylor and designated Jason Heyward. Heyward had hit a game-winning home run just two days prior, but struggles throughout the season led to his demotion.
Michael Kopech has seen a remarkable transformation since joining the Dodgers, from underperformer to potential elite closer. Strategic pitching tweaks have played a significant role in his resurgence.
Shohei Ohtani, a phenom with the Dodgers, is on track to potentially join the elite 500-home run club, a milestone achieved by only 28 MLB players. As he continues to break records, reaching this goal remains a significant achievement in his career.
