Dodgers News
The Dodgers are in a bit of a scramble after moving Gavin Stone to the 60-day IL, claiming Grant Holman off waivers from the Diamondbacks to bolster their pitching. Meanwhile, the buzz around Shohei Ohtani continues as the team monitors a minor concern with the star, though he recently ignited the lineup with his first homer of the season in a 13-6 rout over the Nationals, proving once again that when he shines, so does the whole squad. Emmet Sheehan also showcased his resilience, earning his first win of the season despite earlier struggles, which is a promising sign for the rotation. As the Dodgers sit at 4-2, their stingy pitching staff is a bright spot with a stellar 2.8 runs allowed per game, but the offense needs to pick up the pace to keep the momentum going.
