Rotoworld Player News

Edwin Díaz

LAD Relief Pitcher #3

Edwin Díaz is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Sunday at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Díaz threw at Dodger Stadium prior to tonight’s game and apparently looked pretty good. He’s been on the IL since Aug. 18 with neck inflammation.
Gavin Stone

LAD Starting Pitcher #35

Gavin Stone is having his turn skipped for Triple-A Oklahoma City this week because of a biceps issue.

It’s supposed to be a minor problem, but it’s taken Stone out of the mix to start for the Dodgers this weekend. Stone has pitched 11 2/3 innings with a 1.54 ERA in four starts for Oklahoma City as he works his way back from shoulder surgery. He has an excellent 18/1 K/BB during the span.
Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that he’s “hopeful, but I wouldn’t say confident” that Shohei Ohtani will avoid the IL.

This is definitely a change from yesterday. Ohtani is out of the lineup for a second straight game tonight because of his knee and biceps issues. According to The Athletic, his left hip has become a problem, too. All things considered, 10 days off doesn’t seem like a bad idea.
Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani remains out of the Dodgers lineup Friday against the Nationals.

The Dodgers downplayed any real sense of concern about Ohtani’s issues last night, but now he’s absent from the DH spot again. Alex Call is again starting there with the Nationals throwing a lefty. Dalton Rushing figures to enter a game once a righty takes over.
Teoscar Hernández

LAD Left Fielder #37

Teoscar Hernández went 2-for-3 with a game-winning two-run double as the Dodgers edged the Cardinals 3-2 on Thursday.

Hernández also walked twice tonight before delivering a game-ending hit to score Tommy Edman and Mookie Betts in the bottom of the ninth. The knock off Riley O’Brien kept the Dodgers from being swept in the three-game series. It’s the first time since July 3 that he’s driven in multiple baserunners (thus not including himself) in a game.
Tarik Skubal

LAD Starting Pitcher #29

Tarik Skubal yielded two runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Cardinals.

Dodgers analyst Jessica Mendoza believed Skubal was tipping his changeup tonight, so that might be something to look out for. Still, all 10 hits Skubal allowed were singles, and he more than held his own in ending up with six strikeouts and one walk. He’ll face the Reds next week.
Tommy Edman

LAD 2nd Baseman #25

Tommy Edman went 4-for-5 with a double, a steal and two runs scored as the Dodgers’ leadoff man Thursday against the Cardinals.

Edman got up to 108.5 mph and 106.9 mph on a couple of his liners tonight. He’s batting .279/.355/.411 with 35 runs scored and 29 RBI in his 63 games since returning from ankle surgery. He doesn’t get a ton of credit, but he’s an awfully valuable fantasy MI while healthy.
Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani (biceps, knee) is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s battle against the Cardinals.

Ohtani continues due deal with soreness in his biceps and his knee, and while it’s not enough to shut him down for the season, it sounds like the Dodgers are going to more careful with him and give him plenty of rest days down the stretch to ensure that he’s ready to go for the postseason. Alex Call will function as the Dodgers’ designated hitter on Thursday and will bat eighth against Quinn Mathews and the Cardinals.
Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said shutting down Shohei Ohtani (knee, biceps) is “unlikely.”

It does appear that Ohtani’s performance last night, exacerbated by him not hiding his physical discomfort late in the game, has made the Dodgers more open to the idea. Roberts said he plans to talk to Ohtani and the Dodgers’ training staff to gauge what is best for Ohtani going forward. At the very least, we could see more days off for the 32-year-old superstar in September. “I know he feels that he needs to post and be in the lineup,” Roberts said. “(That) if he’s upright, he should play. I respect that. But if he’s feeling the way that visibly looks, then really not helping anyone.”
Yoshinobu Yamamoto

LAD Starting Pitcher #18

Yoshinobu Yamamoto surrendered four runs over seven innings Wednesday in a no-decision versus the Cardinals.

Leo Bernal’s two-run homer in the seventh made this just the fourth time this year that Yamamoto has given up four runs and only the third time he’s allowed four earned runs. He did leave with a one-run lead anyway, but it didn’t hold up in what turned into an extra-inning loss. Yamamoto finished up with eight strikeouts, making this four straight starts in which he’s totaled eight or nine. He’ll face the Reds next week.
