Dodgers Don't Lose Veteran Infielder in Surprise Twist

The Los Angeles Dodgers avoided losing veteran infielder Santiago Espinal on waivers, in what is described as a surprising outcome for the team. Espinal, a second baseman, was recently seen in action on April 13, 2026, at Dodger Stadium against the New York Mets, where he turned a double play in the fifth inning. Retaining Espinal is considered good news for the Dodgers' infield depth.
