Prior to the series opener of the exhibition Freeway Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers optioned Chris Taylor, Trayce Thompson and Julio Urias, and reassigned Bobby Wilson. The roster moves cemented the Dodgers’ roster, which will be officially announced ahead of Opening Day.
When Los Angeles broke camp they did so only facing a few final roster decisions. Among them was determining who would fill a utility role and serve as the primary backup to Corey Seager at shortstop.
On Wednesday, Los Angeles reassigned Charlie Culberson to Minor League camp. That left Hernandez and Taylor competing for one of the final bench spots.
