Chris Taylor is getting squeezed out in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ roster crunch. The 12-year veteran has been designated for assignment, according to reports.
The move creates room on the Dodgers’ active roster for Tommy Edman, who will apparently be activated for Sunday’s game versus the Los Angeles Angels. Edman, who has eight home runs and an .818 OPS this season, has been on the injured list since April 30 with an ankle injury.
