Dodgers Release Former 2nd Overall Pick
Recently, the Dodgers released Nick Senzel from their organization (via MLB.com).
He had been on a Minor League deal with the franchise.

Senzel had been batting .179 with 15 hits, two home runs, 13 RBI’s and seven runs in 23 games for Oklahoma City.
Senzel’s MLB Career
Senzel was the second pick in the 2016 MLB Draft.
He spent the first five years of his career playing for the Cincinnati Reds.
As a rookie (in 2019), Senzel batted .256 with 96 hits, 12 home runs, 42 RBI’s, 55 runs and 14 stolen bases in 104 games.
Following his run with Cincinnati, the 31-year-old spent the 2024 season with the Washington Nationals and Chicago White Sox.
He has been playing in the Minor Leagues for the last two seasons.
Over 451 career MLB games, Senzel is batting .232 with 340 hits, 40 home runs, 143 RBI’s, 200 runs and 33 stolen bases.
It will be interesting to see if another organization takes a chance on the former top prospect.
Dodgers Right Now
The Dodgers come into Wednesday as the second-place team in the National League West with a 24-18 record in 42 games.
They are 13-10 in 23 games at home.
Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation wrote: “The Dodgers have gone 9-14 in their last 23 games. In that stretch they’ve hit 22 home runs. That’s 22/30 teams. Their team BA (.242) and wRC+ (99) is 14/30 in MLB around middle of the pack. Their 96 runs ranks 18/30. If they aren’t homering at a high rate, they’re below avg.”
Following two more games with the Giants, the Dodgers will visit Mike Trout and the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
