Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's victory against the Minnesota Twins. The home run would be the second in as many days for the outfielder that was struggling entering the week. Outman was hot and cold in 2023, but dominant when things were going right. Outman's performance raises his average to .175, but five of his seven hits on the season have come over the last six games. As an everyday player in one of the best lineups in the league, Outman should be rostered in most formats. He will look to make it three games in a row with a homer versus Chris Paddack and the Twins on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is absent from the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Chicago Cubs. Outman has not started against a southpaw all season and that trend continues with Shota Imanaga on the mound. In Outman's absence, Enrique Hernandez will start in centerfield and bat sixth. Hernandez is batting .222 with three RBI across 18 at-bats in 2024. He is nothing more than a DFS dart-throw when he is in the starting lineup.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman has been enjoying a nice Cactus League thus far. Entering his second season, the young outfielder is hitting .429 with two homers, four RBI and three stolen bases over his first 14 at-bats. Outman had an impressive rookie campaign with a .248 batting average to go along with 23 homers, 70 RBI and 16 stolen bases and will look to build off of that in 2024. Part of one of the best lineups in the league, Outman should have plenty of counting stats to go along offering power and speed. Despite having hot and cold results as a rookie, he is worth a look in all formats.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is not in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's Game 3 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers will opt to use Kike Hernandez in center field versus right-hander Brandon Pfaadt on Wednesday. Outman is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts over the first two games in this series. The Dodgers can't afford to use another game, so they will shake it up with Hernandez on Wednesday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This appears to be a matchup move to stack the lineup with right-handed hitters versus left-hander Wade Miley. Chris Taylor and Kike Hernandez will move into the outfield with Outman and Jason Heyward sitting out on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should expect Outman to be back in the lineup after this contest.

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith and outfielder James Outman are not in Sunday's lineup for an early 11:35 am first-pitch time against the Tampa Bay Rays. It's a routine day off for the backstop, Smith, who is exceptionally slashing .315/.418/.535 with seven homers and 28 RBI this season. Expect the 28-year-old to return for Monday's series opener with the Washington Nationals. For the center fielder, Outman, it's not only a matchup-based absence against southpaw Josh Fleming, but perhaps a respite during a trying 0-for-15 skid. Fantasy managers hope that the 26-year-old hurdles the rookie wall soon, but he's still producing a sufficient .240/.330/.485 slash line with nine long balls, 28 RBI, and five stolen bases this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays. This looks to just be a day off for the 26-year-old who's slashing just .156/.235/.267 over the last 15 games. Mookie Betts is starting in right field, Jason Heyward is in center, and David Peralta is in left field against Tampa starter Tyler Glasnow, who is making his season debut.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. This looks to be a routine day off for the rookie outfielder. Outman has been hot this season, slashing .263/.353/.533 with nine home runs, 27 RBI, and five steals in 41 games. Veteran outfielder Jason Heyward will cover center field and bat seventh versus righty Miles Mikolas on Saturday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman launched a grand slam in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Minnesota Twins. Outman broke the tie in the bottom of the seventh after Miguel Vargas drove in the tying run to set him up with bases loaded and two outs. The 26-year-old cranked his ninth homer of the season and second career grand slam. The ball traveled 407 feet and landed just out of the reach of Twins center fielder Michael A. Taylor. Outman is slashing .264/.354/.903 with nine homers and 27 RBI. He also boasts a 140 wRC+, .376 wOBA, and a 1.4. He's been one of the most impactful rookie position players since the beginning of the year and is already a candidate for NL Rookie of the Year.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. The left-handed slugger will receive a rare off day here. It seems like a good time with left-hander Blake Snell on the mound for San Diego. Outman has been hot to start the season, hitting .281/.374/.578 with eight home runs and 23 RBI in 38 games. Mookie Betts, Chris Taylor, and Trayce Thompson will cover the outfield on Friday with Outman sitting out.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman had another big game at the plate Saturday, going 4-for-5 with two home runs. He drove in four and scored twice. With seven homers, 19 RBI, and a .314/.407/.714 slash line, Outman has been one of the best performers of the young season. Ride the hot wave as long as possible, but the rookie's 31.6% strikeout percentage and .257 xBA point to some regression eventually.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is playing center field and leading off in Tuesday's game against Tylor Megill and the New York Mets. The rookie has been sensational at the plate thus far through 17 games, slashing .277/.414/.617 with three homers, nine runs, 10 RBI, and two stolen bases. With Mookie Betts on the paternity list for the next few days, fantasy managers can expect Outman to continue leading off before he returns. The Dodgers offensive potential gives the 25-year-old extra value. But even without the leadoff role, Outman should be rostered in just about every format.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. The left-handed slugger has been off to a hot start to the season. He's hitting .289 with three home runs and 10 RBI through the first 12 games of the season. However, it appears the Dodgers are going to give Outman a routine rest day here against a left-handed starter. Trayce Thompson will play center field and bat fifth against lefty Justin Steele on Friday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Outman went 0-for-1 with a walk and his first stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the four-game series finale. Outman didn't start the game with a lefty on the hill for the D-backs, but he entered the game as a late defensive replacement. The 25-year-old entered the year as LA's No. 9 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he's gone 2-for-7 with a home run, two RBI, three runs scored, a steal, three walks and three strikeouts in the early going in his first four games. Outman certainly has stolen base upside -- he had 23 thefts in the minors in 2021 -- so fantasy managers in deeper leagues should take notice. However, playing time will be difficult to come by on a stacked Dodgers team.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is in the Opening Day lineup to face the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday, according to MLB.com. It wasn't a sure thing that the 25-year-old would make the roster out of camp, but he had a great Spring Training, batting .283 with three homers over 23 games. Outman doesn't have much experience in the big leagues, with just four games under his belt, but put up solid numbers over his Minor League career. He produced a .263./363/.496 slash line with 68 stolen bases and 79 HRs across 403 games. Outman's likely on the strong side of a platoon and fantasy managers in deep leagues should wait and see how he performs before taking a chance on him.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that outfielder James Outman will make the team's Opening Day roster. Outman made the team by hitting .268 (11-for-41) with two doubles, a triple, two home runs, nine RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base to this point in 17 Cactus League games. The 25-year-old will serve in a bench role for the Dodgers to begin the season, so he won't have much fantasy appeal in redraft leagues. He played in just four games for the Blue in his MLB debut in 2022, but he impressed in 125 games with Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City by slashing .294/.393/.586 with a .978 OPS, career-high 31 home runs, 106 RBI, 101 runs and 13 stolen bases.

Los Angeles Dodgers prospect James Outman is a talented 25-year-old outfielder on the verge of making a legitimate MLB impact. In fact, if Outman played on a team that didn't have as many stars as the Dodgers have, he'd likely be an everyday player. Instead, he's in Triple-A, just waiting for another opportunity after he went 6-for-13 with a homer and three RBI during a short MLB stint one month ago. A true athlete, Outman is a pull hitter who has drastically improved his discipline in the Dodgers' system. He gets on base at a high clip and has shown off some impressive power. Defensively, he has the speed and arm strength needed to survive in center field long-term. This past week was one to remember for the young outfielder. He went 12-for-21 over the course of six games, delivering 10 extra-base hits, two homers, and 14 RBI. His best outing undeniably came on Aug. 26, when he went 5-for-5 with a single, double, homer, and two triples. That's a total of 13 bases, as well as one run and six RBI. He will have instant fantasy relevance once he's promoted to the majors, which could come when rosters expand to 28 players on Thursday.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Outman had himself a game on Friday evening for Triple-A Oklahoma City. Outman went 5-for-5 with six RBI and hit for the cycle in an unforgettable evening for the 25-year-old. The outfielder has put together his best season as a professional and has jumped from Double-A to Triple-A with a cup of coffee with the Dodgers during the 2022 campaign. Between Double-A and Triple-A this season, Outman has hit .286 with 23 homers, 84 RBI and 12 stolen bases. Despite his success in the minors, he is blocked by multiple All-Stars at the big-league level and also competing with the likes of outfield prospects Andy Pages and Jose Ramos for future big-league at-bats. All that being said, Outman can be monitored in dynasty leagues, but is not a must-roster.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman made his major league debut Sunday, and he came a triple shy of the cycle. The rookie went 3-for-4 at the plate with a home run, a double, three RBI, and two runs scored. This impressive performance surely will turn some heads, but there's no guarantee of playing time going forward. Fantasy managers needn't look to Outman on the wire, as the strong first day is a better story than any indication of future results.
