As the Los Angeles Dodgers began Spring Training this year pitchers and catchers were joined in camp by several position players who reported to Camelback Ranch early. With the exception of Andrew Toles, all players ultimately were in camp by their expected arrival date.
The Dodgers did not provide details on Toles’ absence, other than to classify it as a “personal matter,” and offering their full support of the outfielder. Manager Dave Roberts admitted to being surprised by Toles not reporting sand said he was uncertain when he might join the team.
The Dodgers proceeded to complete Spring Training without Toles ever joining them in camp.
