| 5/28/25 | Dodgers Dave Roberts sends message on benching Michael Conforto. The Los Angeles Dodgers maintained their divisional lead on Tuesday with a win over the Cleveland Guardians. Recently, that has meant parting ways with two of the team's longest-tenured position players in Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor. After signing a one-year, $17 million deal to join the Dodgers, Conforto has slashed just .162/.303/.260 this season, prompting manager Dave Roberts to acknowledge that, at some point, he could stop receiving opportunities to play.

| 5/27/25 | Dodgers could be forced to cut ties with recent call up via trade thanks to injuries. The Los Angeles Dodgers recently designated Austin Barnes for assignment. The Dodgers called up Dalton Rushing, their top prospect, to back up Will Smith after moving on from Barnes. "It would take a lot for the Dodgers to deal Rushing, their No. 1 prospect until he graduates to fully-fledged rookie status, but if the rotation is still bent out of shape by the deadline and a non-contender puts a competitive starter on the market, maybe the Dodgers could be more agreeable," wrote Stebbins.

After catcher Austin Barnes was designated for assignment on Wednesday while the team called up top prospect Dalton Rushing, veteran utility man Chris Taylor was released a few days later on Sunday.

| 4/12/25 | Roki Sasaki-Austin Barnes pairing is nothing personal, Dodgers' Dave Roberts says. LOS ANGELES — It's more than a coincidence. But it's less than a commitment. For the second consecutive start, Austin Barnes was paired with Roki Sasaki. Barnes has also caught Sasaki's bullpens recently. But he is not Sasaki's 'personal catcher,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “They've spent a lot of time together,” Roberts acknowledged. “It's not like a dedicated battery at all. But I just felt that Roki had a good one over there (in Philadelphia). There's some familiarity, and let's kind of just go with that for a little bit. “I don't want to box myself in. Will's our starting catcher. So when you start playing that game and then you box yourself in. I'm not going to do that.” Will Smith Source: https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2025/04/12/roki-... |

| 9/15/24 | Dodgers Injuries: Austin Barnes Removed From Sunday Night Baseball Game. The majority of Los Angeles Dodgers injuries this season have impacted their pitching staff, but Austin Barnes is among a handful of position players who missed time as well. Barnes again has another injury for the Dodgers to monitor as he was removed from Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves due to a left big toe contusion. On the surface that decision appeared to be tied to Barnes being hit in the left hand by a Jorge Soler swing, which was called for catcher interference, or Dodgers manager Dave Roberts looking to be aggressive.
