Los Angeles Dodgers prospect James Tibbs has been highlighted for his performance at Triple-A, batting.321 with 17 home runs this season. With Teoscar Hernandez sidelined for about a month due to a hamstring strain, Tibbs could secure a spot on the major league roster. However, he is currently dealing with a forearm injury that has kept him from playing in the field for 19 games. Meanwhile, River Ryan is also making an impact, boasting a 2.05 ERA in the minors and likely ready for a call-up. The Dodgers are assessing their options as they cope with injuries among their outfielders and pitching staff.
