Major League Baseball on Thursday announced preliminary rosters for spring breakout games, the annual showcase of minor league prospects playing games in big league spring training stadiums.
Included on the Dodgers’ spring breakout roster for their game on March 21 against White Sox prospects at Camelback Ranch are top prospects Josue De Paula, Eduardo Quintero, Zyhir Hope, Mike Sirota, and Emil Morales.
River Ryan is in the mix for an early-season spot in the Dodgers’ major league rotation, but also
is still technically a prospect and technically included here, along with more traditional prospects Jackson Ferris, Christian Zazueta, and Adam Serwinowski.
Shortstop Alex Freeland and reliever Kyle Hurt are also vying for a major league roster spot but as prospects are also included in this pool for potentially appearing in the spring breakout game. Same for Ryan Ward, who is on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster but hasn’t yet made his major league debut.
Spring breakout rosters will be trimmed to 27 players on March 16.
The Dodgers’ top four draft picks from 2025 — pitchers Zach Root and Cam Leiter, and outfielders Charles Davalan and Landyn Vidourek — are on the spring breakout preliminary roster, as are the Dodgers’ first draft picks from 2021 (pitcher Maddux Bruns), 2023 (outfielder Kendall George) and 2024 (shortstop Kellon Lindsey).

The Dodgers’ spring breakout game on March 21 is scheduled for 3:30 p.m., though that could be subject to slight change considering the Dodgers’ big league team plays a Cactus League game against the A’s that starts at noon. MLB Network will televise the Dodgers-White Sox spring breakout game, and it will be streamed on Amazon and on MLB.tv.
