The Dodgers have filled their coaching vacancy.
On Friday night, the team announced it had hired Chris Woodward to be its new first base coach, bringing back the former Texas Rangers manager for his second stint on Dave Roberts’ staff.
Woodward served as the Dodgers’ third base coach from 2016 to 2018, before being hired in Texas.

After posting a 211-287 record in four seasons with the Rangers, who fired him at the end of the 2022 season, Woodward returned to the Dodgers as a senior advisor before the 2023 campaign in their player development department.
