Latest news
Ward signed a contract with the Chunichi Dragons of Nippon Professional Baseball on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Ward had been booted off the Dodgers' 40-man roster last week and will now try his luck overseas. The 28-year-old has slugged 108 home runs at Triple-A Oklahoma City over the last four seasons, but he was given only 60 plate appearances in the big leagues over that time.

The Dodgers designated Ward for assignment Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Ward has slugged 108 home runs at the Triple-A level, but his opportunities with the Dodgers have been few and far between, and he hasn't been on the big-league roster since June. The 28-year-old could draw interest via waivers or trade.

The Dodgers optioned Ward to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
Ward will give up his spot on the active roster to Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. After Hernandez landed on the shelf May 29, Ward had received a look as the Dodgers' primary option in left field, but he ended up being relegated to a bench role for the team's last three games after struggling to produce over the past couple of weeks. Overall, Ward slashed .204/.278/.469 with three home runs, 11 RBI and eight runs in 18 games during his latest stint the big leagues.

Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Ward is on the bench for the fourth time in five games and appears to have been supplanted by Tommy Edman as the Dodgers' preferred option in left field. With Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring) expected back from the injured list Monday, Ward will face an even tougher path to regaining playing time in the Los Angeles outfield, and he may be optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Ward is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
The left-handed-hitting Ward will give way to platoon mate Alex Call while the Rays send southpaw Shane McClanahan to the bump for the series finale. While starting in each of the Dodgers' last four games, Ward went 3-for-9 with two doubles, two walks and one run.

Ward went 1-for-3 with a grand slam Wednesday in a loss to the Pirates.
Ward gave the Dodgers a 6-1 lead with his grand slam to right field in the sixth inning, though Pittsburgh made a late comeback to secure the victory. Ward could have had the opportunity to drive in another run with a runner on second base in the eighth, but he was pinch-hit for by Alex Call. Regardless, Ward has shown ample power since his most recent call-up May 28, mashing three homers and driving in 10 runs over seven contests. He's working in the strong side of a left-field platoon, starting at that position each of the Dodgers past five games against a right-handed starter.
