The flurry of roster moves also sees a former top prospect return from Triple-A for the first time since last summer
The Los Angeles Dodgers made a significant roster shuffle in anticipation of Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds, bringing back veteran Jason Heyward from the injured list and summoning former top prospect Miguel Vargas from Triple-A.
The most notable aspect of Friday's moves is the demotion of Outman, last year’s National League Rookie of the Year runner-up. Despite being just 27 years old, Outman has struggled in his sophomore season, recording a .147 batting average with three home runs and 10 RBIs. His offensive performance has fallen well below expectations.
Heyward, 34, returns to the Dodgers after a brief minor league rehab stint. Before a back injury in March knocked him out for the entire month of April, Heyward managed just three hits in 14 at-bats. With the struggles of Outman, however, Heyward's comeback could be a much-needed boost to the Dodgers' outfield depth.
