Dodgers announce 32 Spring Training invites with chance to crack the roster

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced their non-roster invitees on Monday, a group of 32 players not currently on the roster.

The Dodgers’ roster includes minor league signings and prospects, as well as previously unreported additions like Seby Zavala and Nick Senzel.

Pitchers and catchers will report to Camelback Ranch on Friday, February 13, and the rest of the team will report for the first full team workout on Thursday, February 19. The Dodgers’ first spring training is on Saturday, February 21 against the Los Angeles Angels.

Who should the Dodgers keep an eye on during Spring Training?

Carlos Duran

Carlos Duran spent 2018-25 with the Dodgers before LA sent him to the Athletics in exchange for Esteury Ruiz. After one appearance for the A’s – his MLB debut – Duran returned to the Dodgers in free agency and is looking to break into the team.

The righthander had a 5.25 ERA in Triple-A and struckout 59 batters in 58.1 innings pitched.

Jackson Ferris

Jackson Ferris is the Dodgers’ No. 6 prospect, and currently their top pitching prospect.

He has had several solid seasons in the Dodgers organization after coming via trade from the Chicago Cubs. He posted a 2.54 ERA with Double-A Tulsa in 2024 and a 3.86 ERA with the same club last season.

Cole Irvin

Cole Irvin, another former Athletic, has a long shot to make the roster as a starter but could enter the bullpen in a long relief role.

Irvin had a few good seasons in the MLB before playing in Korea in 2025, where he posted a 4.48 ERA. While he didn’t have the best numbers, a proven MLB arm could be exactly what the Dodgers need in relief.

Ryan Fitzgerald

Ryan Fitzgerald has spent most of his career in the minors, but impressed during his brief time in the MLB last season with the Minnesota Twins.

He posted a .759 OPS in the majors after making his debut late in the season, and has a real chance to make the Opening Day roster due to Tommy Edman’s uncertainty.

Joshua from Paula and Zhyir rope

Josue De Paula and Zhyir Hope are the Dodgers’ top two prospects and will be a good idea to keep an eye on over the next month.

The duo was promoted to Double-A late in the season and is expected to move to the MLB in 2027.

James Tibbs III

The final candidate of the pack is James Tibbs III, who came to the Dodgers in the trade that sent Dustin May to the Boston Red Sox.

Tibbs defeated Double-A with Tulsa last season, posting a .900 OPS in 36 games. He will try to impress and climb the ladder.

With so many promising players ready to give it their all in spring training, fans have plenty of exciting Dodger baseball to look forward to. Who do you want to see on the Opening Day roster?
