Dodgers trade outfielder Esteury Ruiz to Marlins
The Dodgers are trading outfielder Esteury Ruiz to the Miami Marlins for minor-league pitcher Adriano Marrero, according to multiple reports.
The speedy Ruiz played 19 games for the Dodgers after being acquired in an April trade. He was primarily a defensive replacement or pinch-runner, hitting .190 (4 for 21) with four stolen bases. He provided some insurance while the team dealt with injuries to Teoscar Hernández and Tommy Edman last season, but he wasn’t expected to factor into the team’s plans for 2026.
