Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles, who was arrested after he was found sleeping behind the Key West International Airport in Florida last week, has been in at least 20 mental health facilities since 2019. His sister, Morgan Toles, said "we didn't know whether he was dead or alive." His family seeks legal guardianship, but they are powerless to obtain it without Toles' consent. The speedy left-handed hitter emerged in 2016 and was set to have an everyday role in 2017 before he tore his ACL in May. He spent all but 17 games in the minors in 2018 and didn't play in the big leagues last year. Toles was officially diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia last year, making it unlikely that he'll make it back onto a big league field anytime soon. Hopefully, Toles is able to get his life under control and focus on his mental health issues.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles was jailed this week after police said they found him sleeping behind the Key West airport in Florida. Toles was arrested on June 22 on a misdemeanor charge of trespassing after he refused to leave the area. Police gave him several chances to leave the area, but he wouldn't walk away. Toles was on the restricted list last year after he left the team's spring training facilities in late May due to a personal matter. He hit .364 and scored six runs for the Dodgers in the 2016 playoffs but missed most of the 2017 season with a torn ACL. The 28-year-old played in just 17 major league games in 2018 and hit .233 with no homers, four RBI and a stolen base. It's looking like a long shot that he will find his way back to the majors.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles reported to the team's spring training complex in Arizona this week, but he remains on the restricted list and off the 40-man roster. Toles never reported to spring training due to personal issues, and the team hasn't commented on the specifics of his absence or given a timetable on his return to game action. The 26-year-old spent most of last year at Triple-A, where he hit .306 with an .807 OPS. He could become and option for the Dodgers at some point this year, but he's well off the fantasy radar for now.
The Los Angeles Dodgers called up outfield prospect Alex Verdugo and outfielder Andrew Toles when rosters expanded on Saturday. The club also activated second baseman Chase Utley (thumb) from the disabled list. Verdugo was hitting well in the minors and is one of the team's top prospects. He and Toles are unlikely to see much playing time, though, limiting their fantasy appeal. Verdugo should be stashed in dynasty leagues. Utley has been out since Aug. 1 and will strictly be a bench bat without much left. He will retire after the 2018 season.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday to make room on the roster for newly-acquired shortstop Manny Machado. Toles had gone 6-for-23 (.261) with no home runs and four RBI in his short stay with the Dodgers. With Chris Taylor moving back to center field, there is just no room for Toles at the moment. He should be the first guy back up if there is an injury to an outfielder.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles is doing everything he can to get called up from Triple-A. On Wednesday, Toles went 4-for-6 with two runs, five RBI and his fourth double of the young year. He stole his first base as well and is now slashing .391/.440/.565 on the season. While it was surprising that Toles was sent down to start the year, it was done in order for him to receive regular playing time. The unexpected steady hitting of Matt Kemp will likely delay Toles' call-up for the foreseeable future, however. But he's quickly becoming an interesting deep league player that's worth monitoring.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles was sent to the club's Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Toles was battling with Matt Kemp and Joc Pederson to be the team's starting left fielder. Toles had an excellent spring training (three home runs, 10 RBI, .852 OPS) and is likely the best all-around player of all those mentioned. His demotion is designed to get him regular repetitions instead of languishing on the bench. He'll get his moment this year and will likely shine. Keep an eye on this popular sleeper pick.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles (knee) is still working his way back from injury, according to Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times. Toles had ACL surgery in May after running into a wall and will get plenty of at-bats this spring, even with the minor league squad. Before going down with an injury, Toles hit .271 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 31 games. Outfielder Joc Pederson would be his main competition for the starting spot for the National League champions.
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles should be good to go for spring training, and according to Alanna Rizzo, will fight for the starting left field job in Los Angeles. Toles had ACL surgery in May after running into a wall but appears to be good to go for the 2018 season. Before going down with an injury, Toles hit .271 with five home runs and 15 RBI in 31 games. Joc Pederson would be his main competition for the starting spot for the National League champions.
Adrian Gonzalez And Andrew Toles To Be Ready For Spring Training
Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball 0perations Andrew Friedman held an expansive press conference on Tuesday, where he indicated that first basemanAdrian Gonzalez(back) will not only be healthy in time for spring training, but that he will have a full-time role. That's surprising given Gonzalez's down year in 2017 which saw him hit career lows in multiple categories. Though he was injured for much of the season, Gonzalez had been trending downward since 2016. He will be in the last year of his contract and is owed $22 million, which no doubt iswearing on the Dodgers. OutfielderAndrew Toles(knee) is also expected to be ready in the spring. He's recovering from knee surgery, which could affect his best asset, his speed.
