Eibner was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite knocking a homer over the weekend, Eibner was sent back to Oklahoma City to clear room on the roster for Monday's starter, Brandon McCarthy, who was activated from the disabled list. He'll remain one of the top options at Triple-A should the Dodgers need another bench bat later in the season.

Eibner has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This will be Eibner's third stint with the big club this season, though he only appeared in three games and went 1-for-5 (.200). He'll offer outfield depth as the Dodgers just lost Andrew Toles (knee) for the season due to a torn ACL, though he likely won't see much time behind Cody Bellinger. Eibner takes the place of pitcher Adam Liberatore (groin) on the active roster.

Eibner was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eibner has shuttled between Los Angeles and Oklahoma City over the past couple of weeks and was sent down again Tuesday to make room for Cody Bellinger's anticipated debut. The 28-year-old will continue to serve as organizational outfield depth.

Eibner was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eibner got almost no playing time in his first stint with the Dodgers and was optioned just this weekend, but an injury to Joc Pederson opened the door for his return. Expect him to still play a backup role, but with Enrique Hernandez and Andrew Toles as the only other center field options, Eibner should pick up more than five at-bats this time around.

Eibner was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eibner notched one hit in his five at-bats with the Dodgers after receiving his promotion on April 19. He'll return to Oklahoma City, but is a candidate to rejoin the major-league roster in the future if an injury occurs to one of the team's regulars.

Eibner was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Eibner was called-up to take the place of Rob Segedin, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained big toe. The 28-year-old was off to a nice start at Triple-A, going 11-for-32 (.344) with three homers and eight RBI through 12 games. Eibner will get the start in center field his first day with the club, though it remains unclear how long he will stay in the majors.

Eibner was optioned to minor league camp Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Eibner was traded to the Dodgers in January and has spent spring camp battling for a major league backup outfield role. With a plethora of outfield options available, the team decided it was best for the 28-year-old to begin the season in the minor leagues. He'll have a chance to return to the big league club if an injury arises to one of the regular outfielders.

Eibner had a big day at the plate Monday, going 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, a triple and a trio for RBI in a spring training loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Eibner got into the game earlier than expected after Andre Ethier was removed with a minor back ailment. The big day brought his spring batting average up to .316 with a homer and six RBI in 19 at-bats. The Dodgers are currently loaded with talent at the outfield position, so the 28-year-old journeyman outfielder isn't considered a candidate to make the 25-man roster. He would, however, be a likely candidate to be called up should injuries strike one of the Dodgers' right-handed outfielders during the season.

Eibner was traded to the Dodgers for a minor leaguer Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a new opportunity for Eibner, who was designated for assignment after batting .193 over 70 games between Kansas City and Oakland last season. The move likely provides outfield depth for the Dodgers, as the team currently has eight outfielders on their 40-man roster. Eibner faces an uphill battle to earn a spot in the outfield, but certainly has the potential to turn some heads in spring training with his athleticism.

Eibner was designated for assignment on Friday, MLB.com's Jane Lee reports.
EDGE Analysis
The A's needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Santiago Casilla, and Eibner was the casualty. He was a productive hitter at Triple-A for both the Royals and A's last year, but posted just a 65 wRC+ in 208 plate appearances in the big leagues. He is now seventh on the organizational outfield depth chart, and should struggle to see significant playing time in 2017.
