Los Angeles Dodgers

Edwin Diaz

RP

Diaz has given up 18 earned runs in just 13.2 innings with the Dodgers this season, so the team will have him pitch in lower-leverage situations to begin with once he's healthy and gradually ease him back into a closing role. The 32-year-old righty threw a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to return from the IL around the time he's eligible to be activated Sept. 2. Until then, Tanner Scott figures to receive the bulk of the Dodgers' save opportunities.

Tyler Glasnow

SP

Glasnow has been out since May 8 due to lower-back spasms, but he's performed tremendously during his four minor-league rehab starts, allowing just two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out 20 batters over 13.2 innings. He built up to 77 pitches during his most recent outing at Triple-A, so he likely won't be operating under a heavy workload restriction while he makes his first MLB start in nearly four months. He'll also benefit from facing an Atlanta lineup that's posted just a .590 OPS across its last 10 games.

Andy Pages

CF

Pages was plunked in the hand by a 100-mph sinker from Bubba Chandler in the third inning, prompting the Dodgers to send the 25-year-old in for X-rays, which confirmed the fracture. Per Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA, Roberts said that he expects Pages to play again in 2026, but the injury will keep the outfielder on the shelf for most, if not all, of what remains in the regular season. Tommy Edman, Enrique Hernandez and Alex Call are candidates to see added reps in center field while Pages is out.

Will Smith

C

It's an encouraging sign in Smith's recovery from a neck injury, given that Friday was the first time he faced live pitching since June. There's optimism that the veteran catcher will be cleared to embark on a rehab assignment next week, putting him on track to be back with the Dodgers before the end of the regular season.

Justin Wrobleski

SP

Wrobleski has enjoyed the best year of his career this season, logging a 3.56 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 126.1 innings. Despite his strong numbers, the 26-year-old won't be able to hang on to his spot in the rotation once Tyler Glasnow (back) comes off the IL on Tuesday. He'll continue to provide value to the Dodgers as a reliever capable of handling 2-to-3 innings, but he likely won't make another start this year unless the team opts for a six-man rotation down the stretch or another injury strikes one of Los Angeles' starters.
