Many of the NRIs have major-league experience, including outfielders Jason Heyward, Bradley Zimmer and Steven Duggar and pitchers Matt Andriese and Jordan Yamamoto.
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers announced a list of 27 players given non-roster invitations to spring training – a list that includes a former All-Star, one of the prospects sent to Baltimore in the 2018 trade for Manny Machado and a former major league outfielder trying to make it back now as a pitcher.
Heyward will compete for a spot in the Dodgers’ outfield plans along with two other experienced big-leaguers signed to minor league contracts – former San Francisco Giant Steven Duggar and former first-round pick Bradley Zimmer. Along with Diaz, the Dodgers also signed Yordan Alvarez , Oneil Cruz and highly-touted pitcher Yadier Alvarez who has had a star-crossed stay in the Dodgers’ minor league system.
The 16 pitchers given non-roster invitations include top prospects Bobby Miller, Landon Knack, Gavin Stone and Nick Nastrini. It also includes 10 pitchers with major-league experience topped by veteran reliever Matt Andriese who pitched in Japan last year.
