Dodgers Hold Strong on 2023 Season's Upward Trend!
The Los Angeles Dodgers announced a huge set of cuts to the Spring Training roster on Monday afternoon after their 24-9 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Dodgers have optioned Paul Gervase, a historically tall pitcher , and Michael Siani, who was on the waiver wire yo-yo over the offseason, down to the minor leagues. Additionally, Los Angeles has reassigned another six players to minor league camp: pitcher Cole Irvin, righty Ryder Ryan, infielder Noah Miller, outfielders Zach Ehrhard, Zyhir Hope , and James Tibbs III.
This group of players was never pushing for a spot on the active roster, by all accounts, with them serving as depth pieces over 162 games or still needing development in the minor leagues as prospects.

Rebilas-Imagn Images Out of the group, Ehrhard and Tibbs were really impressive. They were both part of the return package from the Dustin May trade during July. Tibbs had three home runs over 43 at-bats, hitting .
326/. 389/. 551 with 10 RBIs and six walks.
His 20 strikeouts are alarming, but they also showcase his aggressiveness when hitting. Ehrhard stuck out a lot less with 10, but he did not hit a home run; he did his damage contact-wise with 16 hits over 49 at-bats. Miller was also impressive in the first part of his Spring Training, but he cooled down towards the end and showed he still needs to find consistency.
