The Dodgers have released outfielder Chris Taylor to make room for Tommy Edman, who is returning from the 10-day injured list after recovering from ankle inflammation. This marks the conclusion of Taylor’s nine-year tenure with the Dodgers, as reports indicated he did not have a locker in the clubhouse, confirming the release rather than a designation for assignment. The decision to release Taylor came as no teams were expected to claim him off waivers due to his salary, prompting the Dodgers to expedite the separation.
