Dodgers roster moves: Jason Heyward returns to lineup, Max Muncy joins injured list
LA TimesJason Heyward returned to the Dodgers lineup Friday after sitting out six weeks because of a back injury. “It was a tough one — I don’t think any of us expected to be in this position, given last year and our expectations for him this season,” Roberts said of Outman. Once we can get him back on track, then we can get him back here.” In Muncy’s absence, Roberts said Kiké Hernández and Miguel Rojas will split time at third base. “I think the defense across the board is pretty good with all those guys, but I don’t think any of those four has earned the opportunity to play every single day,” Roberts said. “I was doing a lot of bad habits, putting the ball in the air a little bit more, and it was hard for me to get back to what I wanted to be.” Vargas, who converted to left field this spring, was much more productive in 39 games for Oklahoma City this season, batting.295 with a 1.019 OPS, eight homers, 14 doubles and 38 RBIs, and he had more walks than strikeouts.
