Opening Day is inching closer, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are taking steps to finalize their roster. The Dodgers sent Jake Lamb to their minor league camp on Sunday, signaling that Edwin Rios will start the season with the big club.
Lamb is five years removed from his lone All-Star appearance, watching his stock fall in every season since then. The 31-year-old appeared in just 55 games last season, split between the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago White Sox, posting a .674 on-base plus slugging percentage and striking out 51 times in 170 plate appearances.
