1. Jackson Ferris

Jackson Ferris is a left‑handed pitching prospect who Cody Snavely listed among the Dodgers’ non‑roster invitees and as one of the club’s top‑10 prospects. Snavely named Ferris as a headliner alongside De Paula, Hope and George, signaling the Dodgers want to accelerate evaluation this spring. Ferris headlines the young lefty contingent that will report to Camelback Ranch for workouts and early games.

2. Luke Fox

Luke Fox is one of six left‑handed pitchers invited to camp, appearing on the full roster Cody Snavely and other outlets reproduced. The southpaw joins an organization group that mixes prospect upside with depth pieces, and he’ll get looks during pitchers‑and‑catchers workouts at Camelback Ranch. Fox’s invite gives him a chance to compete for Triple‑A Oklahoma City innings as the Dodgers manage depth between levels.

3. Cole Irvin

Cole Irvin, a lefty signed to a Minor League contract, was specifically noted by Matthew Moreno as returning after a 2025 season with the Doosan Bears of the KBO. Moreno detailed Irvin’s big‑league résumé: “Over his parts of six seasons in the Majors, the 32‑year‑old is 28‑40 with a 4.54 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 134 games (93 starts). Irvin appeared in a career‑high 32 games, all starts, for the A's in 2021.” The Dodgers gave Irvin a non‑roster invite as part of a veteran lefty pool that can be tapped for depth between Los Angeles and Triple‑A.

4. Antoine Kelly

Antoine Kelly is listed among the left‑handed pitchers on the Dodgers’ 32 non‑roster invite list reproduced by Snavely and others. Kelly joins the spring cohort that will be evaluated in Camelback Ranch’s early workouts and exhibition schedule. His inclusion keeps left‑hand depth intact for the organization as the Dodgers manage innings and roster flexibility.

5. Garrett McDaniels

Garrett McDaniels is another left‑hander on the invite list and, like Cole Irvin, was identified among the group that has prior Major League experience in Snavely’s enumeration of 11 MLB‑debut invitees. McDaniels’ presence provides a potentially MLB‑ready option for spot starts or depth work, which fits the Yahoo Sports framing that the list “reads like an organizational plan for how the Dodgers expect to manage depth between the big club and Triple‑A Oklahoma City.” Expect McDaniels to be monitored closely in camp for immediate depth roles.

6. Adam Serwinowski

Adam Serwinowski completes the lefty pitching contingent on the Dodgers’ non‑roster invite list as published by Snavely and Matthew Moreno. He’ll report to Camelback Ranch for the pitchers‑and‑catchers session and compete for bullpen or Triple‑A roles. Serwinowski’s presence underscores the Dodgers’ emphasis on left‑handed options in camp.

7. Chris Campos

Chris Campos is the first of 11 right‑handed pitchers on the invite list, appearing in the unified roster published by Snavely and reposted widely. Campos will join full‑squad workouts and exhibition games beginning Feb. 21, vying for innings in the upper minors. His invite reflects the Dodgers’ strategy of stocking right‑hand depth for Oklahoma City and the big league staff.

8. Patrick Copen

Patrick Copen is a right‑hander included on the Dodgers’ NRI list compiled by Snavely and Moreno. Copen arrives in Glendale with the rest of the club’s pitching depth, aiming to carve out a role either as a reliever in Triple‑A or as a minor‑league depth arm for spot MLB work. The roster’s heavy pitcher count, 17 in total, suggests the Dodgers are prioritizing flexibility this spring.

9. Carlos Duran

Carlos Duran is one of the 11 invitees with prior MLB experience, as highlighted in Snavely’s list of names with big‑league debuts. Duran’s presence gives the Dodgers a familiar arm they can call on for Oklahoma City or short‑notice MLB bullpen help. That blend of veteran availability supports Yahoo Sports’ take that the NRI class “reads like an organizational plan” for depth management.

10. Nick Frasso

Nick Frasso appears on the right‑handed pitcher list that Cody Snavely published and Dodgersbeat reposted. Frasso will be part of early bullpen sessions and spring games beginning Feb. 21 as the Dodgers sort through relief candidates. With 17 pitchers invited, Frasso’s spring performance will determine whether he slots into Triple‑A rotation or stays lower in the organizational depth chart.

11. Carson Hobbs

Carson Hobbs is another right‑hander included on the official NRI roster; Snavely and Moreno both list him by name. Hobbs will report to Camelback Ranch for the initial pitchers‑and‑catchers workout scheduled Feb. 13 and then compete in full‑team activities on Feb. 17. The Dodgers’ haul of arms gives Hobbs an opportunity to earn meaningful innings at Triple‑A.

12. Wyatt Mills

Wyatt Mills is listed among the invitees with prior big‑league experience in Snavely’s enumeration of 11 MLB‑debut players. His MLB background positions him as a depth piece who could be fast‑tracked to Oklahoma City or used as a matchup reliever in Los Angeles if needs arise. Mills’ spring performance will be part of the broader evaluation that the Dodgers are conducting between the big club and their Triple‑A affiliate.

13. José Rodriguez

José Rodriguez is included among the right‑handed pitchers on the Dodgers’ 32‑player NRI list provided by Snavely and others. Rodriguez will be tested in camp bullpens and minor exhibition outings as the Dodgers work through the spring calendar. The organization’s emphasis on pitcher evaluation makes camp timing critical for Rodriguez’s path to Triple‑A or a depth role.

14. Jerming Rosario

Jerming Rosario appears on the official right‑handed pitching list and will be part of the group reporting to Camelback Ranch for workouts and spring games. Rosario’s invite is a chance to showcase his arm in front of Dodgers coaches and front‑office evaluators. The competitive spring environment, with 17 pitchers invited, means Rosario must stand out early to gain a roster advantage.

15. Ryder Ryan

Ryder Ryan is a right‑hander explicitly noted by Matthew Moreno and Cody Snavely and identified among the invitees with MLB experience. Moreno also points out that Ryder Ryan is the older brother of River Ryan, a former top Dodgers pitching prospect, adding a family‑link subplot to his camp story. Ryder’s veteran status gives the Dodgers a known commodity for bullpen depth between Los Angeles and Triple‑A.

16. Jordan Weems

Jordan Weems is listed among the 11 invitees who have made MLB debuts in Snavely’s coverage and the Dodgersbeat repost. Weems brings big‑league experience that the Dodgers can rely on for short‑term replacements or situational relief. His spring role will likely mirror the list’s organizational‑depth mission described by Yahoo Sports.

17. Lucas Wepf

Lucas Wepf rounds out the right‑handed pitchers on the Dodgers’ NRI list and will be part of early camp evaluations. Wepf’s invitation gives him a platform to compete for innings in Triple‑A Oklahoma City or to be a bullpen depth piece for the Dodgers. With a crowded pitching slate, Wepf must produce in games and bullpen sessions to move up the pecking order.

18. Eliezer Alfonzo

Eliezer Alfonzo is one of five catchers invited to spring camp, listed by Snavely and Moreno. Catchers in this group will be evaluated for defensive work behind the plate and as organizational depth, since the Dodgers typically carry extra catching resources across MLB and Triple‑A. Alfonzo will take part in the pitchers‑and‑catchers workout that Snavely noted begins Feb. 13.

19. Griffin Lockwood‑Powell

Griffin Lockwood‑Powell appears on the catchers list published by Snavely and reposted across outlets; he’ll compete for time catching Dodgers minor‑league arms in camp games. The five‑catcher invite group reflects the Dodgers’ need to stock multiple backstops for the big club and Triple‑A. Lockwood‑Powell’s performance in early spring drills will determine his place in the organizational pecking order.

20. Nelson Quiroz

Nelson Quiroz is listed among the five catchers the Dodgers invited and will join camp at Camelback Ranch for positional work starting with pitchers‑and‑catchers. The Dodgers’ five‑catcher approach provides insurance for injuries and workload management, as Dustin Nosler explained when defining a non‑roster player: “A non‑roster player is anyone not on the 40‑man roster.” Quiroz’s camp reps could translate into a depth role at Oklahoma City.

21. Chuckie Robinson

Chuckie Robinson is one of the catchers identified among the 11 invitees who have MLB debuts, according to Snavely and Dodgersbeat. Robinson’s big‑league experience makes him a logical stopgap behind the plate and a candidate for immediate Triple‑A depth. His presence helps the Dodgers balance youth and experience among their catching corps.

22. Seby Zavala

Seby Zavala was explicitly noted by Matthew Moreno as signing a Minor League deal in the offseason and receiving a non‑roster invite from the Dodgers. Zavala is also counted among Snavely’s list of invitees with MLB experience, giving Los Angeles a veteran catcher who can be tapped for depth. His camp role will be to stabilize catcher depth across the big club and Triple‑A.

23. Matt Gorski

Matt Gorski appears on the infield list and is among the 11 invitees identified as having MLB debuts by Snavely and Moreno. Gorski provides infield versatility and experience the Dodgers can use at Triple‑A or in short‑term MLB callups. The organization’s mix of MLB‑experienced players and prospects means Gorski could be a quick answer if injuries force roster moves.

24. Ryan Fitzgerald

Ryan Fitzgerald is listed among the infield invitees and also counted in the Snavely/Moreno group of 11 with big‑league experience. Fitzgerald’s MLB background gives the Dodgers a reliable depth infielder to shuttle between Los Angeles and Oklahoma City as needed. His spring showcase will determine whether he earns a top Triple‑A role or remains organizational depth.

25. Noah Miller

Noah Miller is one of four infielders invited to spring training, appearing on the full list published by Cody Snavely and others. Miller joins a compact infield group that includes MLB‑experienced options and top prospects; his performance in camp will dictate whether he climbs to Triple‑A. The Dodgers’ structure of callups and depth management makes Miller’s spring reps important for his 2026 assignment.

26. Nick Senzel

Nick Senzel received a Minor League deal and a non‑roster invitation, as Matthew Moreno explicitly noted, and he’s also counted among the 11 invitees with MLB experience. Senzel’s veteran bat and versatility provide the Dodgers with an experienced option to plug into Triple‑A or the big league roster. Dustin Nosler observed this roster of 32 is the most invites since 2021, giving Senzel a deep but visible spring to prove he belongs.

27. Josue De Paula

Josue De Paula is one of the Dodgers’ top outfield prospects and a headliner on Snavely’s list; Cody Snavely named De Paula among the players who “headline the Dodgers’ invitees” and rank among the club’s top‑10 prospects. De Paula was also singled out in a Dodgers Nation Facebook post that listed him as a headliner and drew 243 reactions, 9 comments and 9 shares. Expect De Paula to be one of the young outfielders the Dodgers evaluate aggressively for promotion to Triple‑A Oklahoma City.

28. Zach Ehrhard

Zach Ehrhard is listed among the six outfielders invited to camp in Snavely’s roster and will participate in spring drills at Camelback Ranch. Ehrhard joins a productive outfield class the organization wants to vet against higher competition this spring. If he performs well in exhibition games beginning Feb. 21, Ehrhard could factor into the club’s upper‑minors depth plan.

29. Kendall George

Kendall George is another outfield headliner that Cody Snavely named among the Dodgers’ top‑10 prospects invited to camp. George’s inclusion signals the club wants to test its high‑ceiling outfield talent in front of major‑league coaches and decision makers. His spring showing will inform whether he moves toward Triple‑A or remains further down the depth chart.

30. Zyhir Hope

Zyhir Hope, listed by Snavely as a top‑10 organizational prospect and flagged by fans on Dodgers Nation’s Facebook post, is one of the outfielders to watch in camp. Fans commented specifically in the social post, “Go Zyhir...you were great during spring training last year”, showing outside interest in his development. Hope’s presence among the headliners confirms the Dodgers intend to push their younger outfielders through spring competition.

31. Chris Newell

Chris Newell is on the outfield list sent to Camelback Ranch and included in the full roster published by Snavely and others. Newell will get reps in batting practice, outfield drills and minor exhibition games as the Dodgers sort their 2026 depth chart. With six outfielders invited, Newell must separate himself in camp to earn an upper‑minors assignment or meaningful developmental workload.

32. James Tibbs III

James Tibbs III closes the outfield invite list; Cody Snavely described him as a former first‑round selection who “earns strong marks across prospect rankings.” Tibbs III joins the group of high‑upside youngsters the Dodgers want to evaluate in spring games and workouts, and his pedigree makes him a name to watch for promotion to Triple‑A. With this NRI class the largest since 2021, Tibbs III’s spring performance will be part of a focused organizational push to balance top prospects and MLB‑ready depth between Los Angeles and Oklahoma City.
