Dodgers News: Baseball Returns, Toles Resurfaces, 60-Man Roster Talk, DH, and More
It was an otherwise great week for Dodgers fans! Baseball announced that it is coming back and LA was set to start out on a 60 game season in 2020.
Unfortunately, there was some unfortunate news first. It had been a while since fans last saw a favorite… Andrew Toles had fallen off the radar and it was assumed he just walked away from the game. Turns out, it was a lot sadder than that.

Thankfully the community came together and reports were that the Dodgers, MLB, and the MLBPA were set to help the 28-year-old out of Georgia.
Our hearts go out to Tolesy and we hope he finds and accepts the help he may need during these difficult times.
In more positive news, spring training 2.0 is coming this week and LA made its first steps toward getting ready for the season.
