Andy Pages’ emergence and Jason Heyward’s nearing return from a back injury could leave Outman as the odd man out in the Dodgers’ outfield.
Dodgers outfielder James Outman participates in batting practice before Monday’s game against the Miami Marlins at Dodger Stadium. Outman entered Monday’s game batting .165 with an OPS of just .559. The second-year center fielder entered Monday’s game batting .165 with an OPS of just .559. It hasn’t been getting better recently. He was 3 for his past 28 through Sunday with seven strikeouts in his past 12 at-bats.
Roberts said Outman seems to be struggling with “uncertainty with his mechanics, uncertainty with his approach, and when you’re in that spot, it’s tough to hit.” “If he continues to play like this, it’s hard to take him out of the lineup,” Roberts said of Pages, who has started nine games in center field and has hit .319 with a .903 OPS in his first 17 games since being promoted from Triple-A.
“Right now for me, it’s go out there and try to work through some things, clear your mind and help us win a game,” Roberts said. “I’m not going to outwardly say that we’re having those conversations because we aren’t, actually. But I just want him to hopefully have some clarity and start fresh today and take good at-bats.”The Dodgers placed right-hander Joe Kelly on the IL on Monday with a right posterior shoulder strain.
