Los Angeles Dodgers

Andy Pages

CF

Pages got in on the offensive explosion, logging three-plus hits for the 12th time this season. Since the calendar flipped to August, the center fielder has slashed .306/.368/.500 with three homers, nine RBI, seven runs and two stolen bases across 16 contests. Overall, he's hitting .274/.340/.465 with 21 homers, 80 RBI, 71 runs and 12 stolen bases in 125 games.

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.

Will Klein

RP

Klein landed on the IL on Aug. 1 due to bone chips in his right elbow. Anti-inflammatory medication and rest have helped in the right-hander's recovery, and the next step in his rehab would be to start a throwing progression. The Dodgers will have a better sense of Klein's recovery timeline and whether he'll be able to return this season once he starts throwing again.

Gavin Stone

SP

The 27-year-old righty faced just one batter over the minimum, with a first-inning error by first baseman Ryan Ward denying him a perfect outing. Stone hasn't made an appearance for the Dodgers since 2024, undergoing shoulder surgery in October of that year and then experiencing a setback this spring, but he's putting himself in position to help the big club in some capacity down the stretch. He's started all three of his rehab appearances and has posted a magnificent 2.35 ERA, 0.52 WHIP and 13:1 K:BB over 7.2 innings. While the Dodgers may not have a spot available for him in the rotation, Stone could offer value in a multi-inning relief role.

Tyler Glasnow

SP

The Dodgers had been targeting Glasnow for five innings and 75 pitches in the fourth start of his rehab assignment, and he was able to check both boxes, tossing 77 pitches (54 strikes). The veteran righty generated 12 swings and misses, capping off a dominant stint in the minors during which he submitted a 1.32 ERA, 0.51 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings. From both a workload and results standpoint, Glasnow looks ready to return to the big leagues for the first time since early May, after a lengthy recovery from lower-back spasms. He'll likely come off the 60-day injured list and make a start at some point a three-game series in Atlanta which begins Tuesday.

Edwin Diaz

RP

Diaz landed on the injured list Tuesday due to neck inflammation, but Roberts said that the right-hander received a "best-case" prognosis during his visit with a doctor Wednesday. The Dodgers will keep him shut down from throwing for a few days before determining next steps, though he doesn't seem to be trending toward a lengthy IL stint.

Bobby Miller

SP

Miller has made all but one of his 37 career big-league appearances as a starter, but he looks to be preparing for a relief role during his rehab assignment. While he's covered multiple innings in each of his first three rehab outings, he's been used out of the bullpen for the last two appearances. The 27-year-old righty has been on the shelf all season while recovering from shoulder and back injuries and may need another tune-up outing or two in the minors before potentially joining the Los Angeles bullpen.

Blake Treinen

RP

Treinen's appearance with the Single-A club was his first game action since he tossed a clean frame for the Dodgers against Baltimore on June 19. The veteran reliever landed on the injured list shortly thereafter due to a right elbow inflammation, and while he's been throwing since early July, he's taken a slow road back to the big-league squad. Trienen may need several more rehab outings before he's cleared to return, but he could be activated from the IL in late August or early September.

Justin Wrobleski

SP

Wrobleski will head to the IL for the first time this season after the injury apparently cropped up during his most recent start in the Dodgers' 4-1 loss to the Brewers on Saturday, when he struck out six batters while allowing four earned runs on four hits and one walk across six innings. The Dodgers recalled right-hander Kyle Hurt from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move to add a fresh arm to the bullpen, but it's unclear if Wrobleski will be replaced in the six-man rotation or if Los Angeles will proceed with five starters for the time being.

Dalton Rushing

C

Rushing was diagnosed with a torn UCL in his right elbow in early August and has already been deemed very unlikely to catch again this season. Nonetheless, the Dodgers are hoping to get the 25-year-old back before the end of the campaign as a left-handed-hitting option off the bench. The UCL tear is considered minor, and Rushing is planning to forego surgery in favor of treating the injury with rest and rehab.

Kris Bubic

SP

Bubic resumed a throwing progression while still with Kansas City in late July and was traded to the Dodgers on Aug. 3. The veteran hurler is continuing to try to work his way back from left shoulder discomfort and left elbow soreness, which has kept him on the IL since mid-May. Given the length of his absence, Bubic will almost certainly need to make several rehab appearances when he's ready to get into game action, which means that activation from the IL is unlikely to happen before mid-September. With that in mind, and given the Dodgers' deep rotation when healthy, the likeliest scenario for the left-hander to contribute to his new team this season is as a long-relief and/or emergency-starter option down the stretch and into the playoffs.

Ben Casparius

RP

The right-hander has had a rough start to his rehab assignment as he works his way back from right shoulder inflammation, an injury that has kept him on the shelf since April 13. Through his first three outings, Casparius has covered two innings and has yielded two earned runs on one hit while issuing eight walks. Casparius may need close to the entire 30-day rehab window to build up and iron out his control before coming off the 60-day injured list.

Brusdar Graterol

RP

The specifics of the procedure aren't clear, but Harris writes that Graterol's return this season is "in jeopardy." Graterol has been working his way back from right shoulder surgery and has not pitched at the big-league level since 2024. The 27-year-old will be a free agent at the end of this season.

Jake Cousins

RP

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for righty Jake Eder, who was acquired from the Nationals on Wednesday. Cousins is recovering from Tommy John surgery and will be sidelined until after the All-Star break.
