Dodgers OF out indefinitely due to personal matter

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Dodgers outfielder Andrew Toles will be out indefinitely while dealing with a personal matter, according to the club.

"We aren't sure when Andrew will arrive, but he has been in contact with the organization and has our full support," according to a team release. "Out of respect for Andrew and his family, we will have no further comment on the matter."

Toles' situation could explain why a rumored Joc Pederson trade never happened. Both outfielders bat left-handed, as does Alex Verdugo, so the depth in the outfield will be diminished with Toles absent.
