The Dodgers now have a right-handed bat and an additional outfielder.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">3 players from the 2017 team are on the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Dodgers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Dodgers<\/a> active roster.

Marisnick enjoyed his greatest season while playing on the Astros&#8217; famed sign-stealing squad.<\/p>\n<p>Some assistance is needed for the Los Angeles Dodgers&#8217; outfield. By defensive runs saved, they presently hold the 21st-place league ranking.
