The Los Angeles Dodgers are mourning the death of Waymon Roberts, the father of manager Dave Roberts, who passed away at the age of 68. Dave Roberts has left the team to be with his family during the difficult time.
The Dodgers, who play a pair of split-squad games on Friday night, will be managed by bench coach Bob Geren and Triple-A Oklahoma City manager Bill Hasselman. It has not yet been announced who will travel with the club to Peoria Sports Complex for the matchup with the San Diego Padres.
A timeline has not been given for Roberts’ return.
