James Outman News
The Los Angeles Dodgers optioned outfielder James Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday to make room on the active roster for outfielder Jason Heyward (back), who was activated from the 10-day injured list. Outman impressed with 23 home runs, 70 RBI and 16 stolen bases in his first full big-league season in 2023 with the Blue, but he hasn't been able to replicate that so far in 2024, slashing .147/.250/.266 with three homers, 10 RBI and two stolen bases in 36 games. Rookie sensation Andy Pages basically took over the strong side of a platoon with Outman in center field before Outman's demotion on Friday. The demotion is good news for fantasy managers that swooped on Pages quickly. The 27-year-old Outman will now need to make some adjustments in the minors before he'll get another opportunity against right-handed pitching in the big leagues.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the San Diego Padres. Outman had started five of the Dodgers last six games. The 26-year-old was a surprising source of offense last season, but he is batting a dismal .114 with one home run across his last 15 contests. Enrique Hernandez will start in left field and bat seventh in Outman's absence. Hernandez has also struggled at the plate this season and is 1-for-8 in his career against Padres starter Yu Darvish. He is not a recommended DFS play for Sunday's slate.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's victory against the Minnesota Twins. The home run would be the second in as many days for the outfielder that was struggling entering the week. Outman was hot and cold in 2023, but dominant when things were going right. Outman's performance raises his average to .175, but five of his seven hits on the season have come over the last six games. As an everyday player in one of the best lineups in the league, Outman should be rostered in most formats. He will look to make it three games in a row with a homer versus Chris Paddack and the Twins on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman enjoyed a big rookie season in 2023. In his age-26 season, the lefty-swinging Outman hit .248 with 23 home runs, 16 stolen bases, 86 runs, 70 RBI, and a .790 OPS across a hefty 567 trips to the plate. He played nearly every day and held his own with a .254 average against left-handed pitching (versus a .246 mark against righties), although his power almost exclusively came against opposite-handed pitching. However, ATC is projecting a dip in production across the board, namely in usage, home runs, stolen bases, batting average, runs, and RBI. It's important to note that his .326 xwOBA in his rookie season was well below his .344 wOBA while he ranked in the 44th percentile in hard-hit rate, 21st in average exit velocity, 32nd in xSLG, and 16th in xBA. His 179.72 ADP puts him ahead of outfielders such as Brandon Nimmo, Daulton Varsho, Kerry Carpenter, and Lars Nootbaar, all of whom hold far more value at prevailing ADPs.
