Outman was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. With Kevin Kiermaier (dislocated finger) likely unavailable Sunday, Outman will offer quality defense and lefty power off the bench. Justin Wrobleski was optioned in a corresponding move.

The Dodgers optioned Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. The return of Miguel Rojas (forearm) from the injured list will squeeze Outman off the big-league roster and back to the minor leagues. After returning to the majors in late July, the 27-year-old outfielder appeared in seven games and went just 1-for-11 with a home run and two runs scored. He will likely be on the short list for a return to the majors should the Dodgers run into depth problems in the outfield down the stretch.

Outman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Astros. This was Outman's first hit in his last 10 major-league contests. The outfielder opened the scoring with a fifth-inning blast. For the season, Outman has four homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and two stolen bases while slashing a meager .152/.248/.273 over 149 plate appearances. The 27-year-old is likely to continue seeing a limited role, though he has started in center field for the Dodgers' last two games versus right-handed pitchers. That suggests he could force his way into a platoon role with Andy Pages, who has hit just .208 with a punchless .522 OPS over 21 games in July.

The Dodgers recalled Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports. He will absorb the roster spot vacated by Chris Taylor (groin). Outman has slashed a woeful .153/.250/.258 in 45 games with the big club this season and will not be guaranteed regular at-bats while on the active roster.

The Dodgers optioned Outman to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports. The 27-year-old was called up by Los Angeles in early July but will return to Triple-A as Jason Heyward (knee) returns from the injured list. Outman's latest stint in the majors didn't go particularly well, as he went 3-for-15 with eight strikeouts in nine games.
