Shohei Ohtani

LAD Designated Hitter #17

Shohei Ohtani went 6-for-6 with three homers, two doubles, 10 RBI and two steals to set the Dodgers’ single-season home run record and complete the first 50 HR/50 SB season in MLB history Thursday in the Dodgers’ 20-4 drubbing of the Marlins.

If only the Marlins had gotten 21 runs today, this would have made for the ultimate Tungsten Arm O’Doyle game. Ohtani, who entered with 48 homers, passed Shawn Green at 49 for the Dodgers’ record. He probably sealed up NL MVP honors with this, particularly in light of Francisco Lindor’s absence this week. He’s the 15th player ever with five extra-base hits in a game. The only other player ever to go 6-for-6 with five extra-base hits in a game was, incredibly enough, Shawn Green, doing so in his four-homer game in 2002. The 10-RBI game is the first in Dodgers history. It’s Ohtani’s first career three-homer game. His previous high for RBI was eight in an Angels loss in 2022.
Jack Flaherty

LAD Starting Pitcher #0

Jack Flaherty earned his 13th win Thursday after allowing three runs in six innings against the Marlins.

Flaherty gave up homers to Jake Burger and Griffin Conine, but he could afford to in what ended up being a 20-4 game. He’s 6-2 with a 3.40 ERA in nine starts since joining the Dodgers. He’s set to face the Padres in his final regular-season start next week.
Andy Pages

LAD Center Fielder #44

Andy Pages went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a walk Thursday against the Marlins.

After being held out of the lineup six games in a row, Pages got a start last night after Miguel Rojas was scratched and went 1-for-3. Back in there today, he matched his season high with three RBI. He’s hit .286 with two homers in 28 plate appearances since being recalled Sept. 1. If he finishes hot, he might find himself in position to get some starts in center during the postseason.
Miguel Rojas

LAD Shortstop #11

Miguel Rojas remains out of the lineup for the Dodgers on Thursday.

The 35-year-old was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup with a sore hamstring, and it appears that he will get another day off against Miami on Thursday. Tommy Edman will slide to shortstop again, which means Andy Pages will play center field and bat eighth.
Teoscar Hernandez

LAD Left Fielder #37

Teoscar Hernández is not in the lineup for the Dodgers on Thursday.

It seems like a routine day off for the 31-year-old. Chris Taylor will start in left field and bat ninth.
Landon Knack

LAD Starting Pitcher #96

Landon Knack shut the Marlins out over five innings with seven strikeouts in an 8-4 over the Marlins win on Wednesday.

Knack had a clear plan to challenge the Marlins and they could not make him pay. He threw a career percentage of fastballs – 60% – and the bulk of them wound up in the heart of the plate. Yet, Miami either swung through them or just let them whiz by for a called strike. Knack did get that pitch up to 96 MPH which is a few ticks above his season average and apparently that was enough for it to dominate. He’s scheduled to face the Padres at home next time out.
Tommy Edman

LAD Second Baseman #25

Tommy Edman went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run on Wednesday against the Marlins.

Talk about a power surge. This blast was Edman’s sixth in eight games as he seems to have unlocked a new gear since arriving in Los Angeles. For context, his career-high is 13 home runs and that came in 137 games last season. He’s playing every day at either short stop or center field for a Dodgers team that desperately needed his defense and this unexpected thump is a huge added bonus.
Zach Logue

LAD Relief Pitcher #73

Dodgers selected the contract of LHP Zach Logue from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers wanted someone who could throw multiple innings tonight after their ugly game Tuesday, and the 28-year-old Logue can do that. While he has been a multi-inning reliever of late, he’s started much of the year, and he hasn’t pitched since throwing three innings six days ago.
Joe Kelly

LAD Relief Pitcher #99

Dodgers activated RHP Joe Kelly from the 15-day injured list.

Kelly is back after two hitless innings in a rehab start at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He had been sidelined since Aug. 31 with shoulder inflammation.
Bobby Miller

LAD Starting Pitcher #28

Dodgers optioned RHP Bobby Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers decided against giving Miller one last shot following his two-inning start against the Marlins last night. It’s probably for the best. Miller had given up 17 earned runs in 11 1/3 innings this month, taking his ERA up to 8.52. We’re assuming we won’t see him again this season, and it’s going to be hard to recommend him as a sleeper next year before seeing how he throws in March.
