DENVER –– After seven years of waiting for his shot, Ryan Ward is on the verge of his first big-league opportunity. The Dodgers are bringing Ward to Denver on Saturday and are expected to officially activate him later in this weekend’s series against the Colorado Rockies, sources confirmed, marking what will be a first career call-up to the majors for the 28-year-old outfielder. While it wasn’t immediately clear what the corresponding roster move will be, the choreographed nature of Ward’s promotion –– he will be on the taxi squad Saturday, a source said –– could suggest a non-injury-related maneuver, such as another player going on the paternity list.
