3 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers outfielder Steven Souza Jr. has had his contract selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City and will join the team, according to Juan Toribio of MLB.com. To make room for Souza, the Dodgers designated relief pitcher Nate Jones for assignment. Souza slashed .148/.258/.333 over 11 games with the Cubs in 2020, but across 22 games at Triple-A this season, Souza is slashing .279/.444/.603 with six home runs, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored. He'll likely just be a bench outfielder for Los Angeles, and act as an insurance policy in case Cody Bellinger lands on the injured list. His value will be limited to deep NL-only formats for now.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
