Jarrad Page's return to baseball has come to an abrupt end after the outfielder was released by the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 29.
In his eight games played with the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes of the Advanced-A California League, Page batted .040 (1-for-25) with a a walk, an RBI and one stolen base in two attempts.
The move was made to open up a roster spot on the Quakes for fellow outfielder Casio Grider, who came off the disabled list, as well as to create more flexibility within the Dodgers organization in general, so that more highly regarded prospects can have an opportunity to move up the ranks.
With Page out of the picture for the Dodgers, it's likely that the former UCLA Bruin will more intensely pursue continuing his career as a safety in the NFL.
