Woodward returns to Dodgers as first-base coach
Written by I Dig SportsLOS ANGELES -- Chris Woodward has been named first-base coach by the Dodgers, marking his second stint on manager Dave Roberts' staff.
The Dodgers made the announcement Friday night. Woodward was the Dodgers' first-base coach from 2016 to 2018 before leaving to take over as manager of the Texas Rangers.
Woodward fills the opening created after former first-base coach Clayton McCullough recently became manager of the Miami Marlins.
Woodward had a 211-287 record in nearly four seasons with the Rangers. He has been a senior adviser on the Dodgers' major league and player development staff for the past two seasons.
Dodgers executive vice president and general manager Brandon Gomes said Woodward will take over baserunning and infield responsibilities with third-base coach Dino Ebel shifting to outfield duties.
