On taxi squad
PLos Angeles Dodgers
April 28, 2024
Varland joined the Dodgers as a member of the taxi squad ahead of Sunday's game in Toronto, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander isn't currently poised to join the big-league roster, but he could provide some much-needed depth for Los Angeles if Sunday's bullpen game doesn't go smoothly. Varland made two early-season appearances for the Dodgers and allowed two runs on a hit and a hit-by-pitch while he recorded just two outs.
