Overview
- The minor-league agreement was reported by The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya, and Espinal will be in big-league camp.
- Manager Dave Roberts said Edman is expected to begin the regular season on the injured list following ankle surgery.
- Espinal enters a competition that includes Miguel Rojas, Alex Freeland and Hyeseong Kim for early infield opportunities.
- He played every infield position and both corner outfield spots for the Reds in 2025 but produced no home runs over 328 plate appearances with below-average offense.
- Cincinnati outrighted Espinal to Triple-A in October, he declined the assignment to become a free agent, and the Dodgers view this as a low-risk depth addition.
