5/18/24 | Dave Roberts: Dodgers' Decision To Option James Outman 'A Tough One'. On Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers optioned James Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City as part of a series of roster moves, which made room for Jason Heyward and Miguel Vargas. After a promising rookie campaign during the 2023 season, Outman has been experiencing a sophomore slump so far in 2024. In addition to Outman's struggles at the plate, the emergence of rookie outfielder Andy Pages also played a part in the Dodgers' decision to option him. Heyward experienced a couple of setbacks as he was going through the rehab process for his injured lower back, so Pages was initially called up as temporary high-end replacement with the possibility of an expanded role if he was able to perform at the Major League level.
