Dodgers Cut 7 More Players From Spring Roster as Japan Trip Nears
The Los Angeles Dodgers made several roster moves Friday, cutting seven players from major league camp.
According to a post on X, the Dodgers reassigned left-handed pitchers Jackson Ferris, Joe Jacques and Jose E. Hernández and right-handed pitchers Sam Carlos, Jared Karros, Jack Little and Jose Rodriguez to minor league camp.
Ferris was acquired from Chicago last year as part of the trade that sent Michael Busch to the Cubs. As the No. 4 prospect in the organization, Ferris finished last season in Double-A, where he posted a 2.54 ERA across seven starts.
Ferris was the Minor League Pitcher of the Year for the Dodgers last season and had high expectations as a non-roster invite to major league camp. He allowed two earned runs on three hits and struck out six in three innings of work.
Jacques has appeared in the majors over the past two seasons with the Red Sox and Diamondbacks. In 2024, he split time between both teams, making three appearances. Across 25 career games and 29.2 innings, he has posted a 5.46 ERA and 4.90 FIP, recording 22 strikeouts and 11 walks.
Jacques appeared in five Cactus League games this spring, allowing one earned run on two hits across five innings. He converted his only save opportunity.
