Toles, 30, played three seasons for the Dodgers between 2016-2018 but did not return for spring training in 2019 and was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

"Saw it first hand how they treated me when I could provide nothing for them.
I am not surprised they are helping Andrew. It's bigger than sports." Koehler signed a one-year deal with Los Angeles in 2017 but was injured during spring training and was released in 2018.
