More good than bad right now. 2.7 RA/G this stretch. The pitching is carrying weight. Tempering that, scoring just 3.3 per game. The lineup has gone quiet.

Dodgers News

The Dodgers stumbled against the Braves, falling 1-0 thanks to Chris Sale's complete game shutout, a stark reminder that even a strong pitching outing from Yoshinobu Yamamoto can't always secure a win. With Andy Pages now on the injured list, the question looms larger than ever: is it time for the Dodgers to reinsert Hyeseong Kim into the lineup? Meanwhile, the uncertainty around Shohei Ohtani’s pitching future continues, as GM Brandon Gomes dampened expectations for a quick return to the mound. As the Dodgers sit at 80-54, they’ll need to shake off this series loss and capitalize on their upcoming match against the Tigers. The clock is ticking toward the postseason, and they can’t afford to lose momentum now.

DETROIT -- Shohei Ohtani threw a lighter-than-usual bullpen session ahead of Friday night's game against the Tigers at Comerica Park. The Dodgers will set next steps for their two-way star depending on how he comes out of it, which could include Ohtani starting a game on the mound as soon
