Dodgers James Outman Delivers in The Clutch Last Night In Triple-A James Outman continues to ride the hot hand in the Dodgers farm system.
Optioned to Triple-A Outman was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact He hit .462 with seven strikeouts and one home run in four games (13 at-bats) during his first career cup of coffee in the majors. Outman has impressive physical tools but his hit tool is suspect.

Draws another start Outman will start in left field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Giants, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact Outman will be getting his third start in the corner outfield in four games after he began his big-league career by going 5-for-6 with a home run, two doubles and a walk. Though his hot bat has earned him more work early on than expected, the Dodgers likely aren't counting on Outman playing well enough to stick as a near-everyday player. Instead, the newly acquired Joey Gallo and Trayce Thompson are likely settle into a platoon at the corner-outfield spot opposite Mookie Betts, at least until Chris Taylor (foot) is ready to come off the injured list.

Fantastic in debut Outman went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three total RBI and two total runs scored in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Rockies.
Impact Outman's debut was a dazzler, which saw him go yard in his first big-league at-bat. He added a single in the seventh inning and an RBI double in the eighth. The 25-year-old isn't considered a high-rated prospect, but he did alright with a 2.225 batting average and .815 OPS with five home runs, 24 RBI, 13 runs scored and four stolen bases in 22 games for Triple-A Oklahoma City after a midseason promotion. Outman will likely be limited to the occasional start versus right-handed pitchers, though more performances like his debut could offer him a corresponding boost in playing time while Chris Taylor (foot) works through a rehab assignment in the coming week.

Joining big club Outman was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact A 25-year-old athletic outfielder, Outman has a .279/.381/.534 slash line with a 28.5 K% and 12.6 BB% in 404 plate appearances split between Double-A and Triple-A this year. He takes the place of Zach McKinstry, who was shipped to the Cubs in exchange for reliever Chris Martin. Outman will serve as a lefty bench bat, defensive replacement and occasional starter.

Advances to Triple-A The Dodgers promoted Outman from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Impact Outman received the bump up to the Dodgers' top affiliate after slashing .297/.397/.556 with 16 home runs and seven stolen bases across 305 plate appearances at Tulsa. The 25-year-old possesses a spot on the Dodgers' 40-man roster, so he could be a candidate to join the big club later in the season if he continues to perform well at Triple-A and if Los Angeles has a need for an extra outfielder.

Added to 40-man roster Outman was added to the Dodgers' 40-man roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact A 24-year-old outfielder with a nice blend of power, speed and defense, Outman hit .289/.369/.518 with nine home runs and two steals in 39 games at Double-A to close the year. He should spend most, if not all of next season in the upper levels of the minors.
