Triple-A Indianapolis placed Ashcraft on its 7-day injured list Saturday due to a right forearm injury, per MLB.com.

It marks the third time since June 28 that Ashcraft has landed on the injured list. The last time he was on the IL was due to right elbow inflammation that caused him to miss a month and a half. He had just returned Friday, pitching one inning.

Vasquez (4-7) took the loss against the Rays on Saturday, allowing nine runs on 11 hits and four walks with three strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Vasquez was staked an early 2-0 lead but yielded a career-high nine earned runs despite allowing just one home run. Over his last 10 starts, the 25-year-old has allowed three earned runs or fewer eight times but also surrendered 15 total earned runs in two disastrous outings. On the season, he owns a 5.18 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 58:28 K:BB across 92 innings and lines up to face the Giants at home next weekend.

Ryan (elbow) underwent successful Tommy John surgery Aug. 25, per MLB.com.

Ryan suffered a UCL strain in a start against Pittsburgh on Aug. 11. The right-hander has a small chance of returning to action late in 2025, but he'll more likely need to wait until 2026 to toe a major-league mound again.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said this week that the door is "slightly open" for Gonsolin (elbow) to pitch before the end of the season, per MLB.com.

Gonsolin underwent Tommy John surgery Sept. 1 of last year, so he's almost one year removed from the procedure. The right-hander pitched three live batting-practice sessions earlier in August, during which his fastball sat at 92-to-94 mph -- the same range as his velocity prior to his injury. Gonsolin recently said he's optimistic about his ability to pitch in game action before the end of this season, though Roberts was more conservative in his assessment. If Gonsoin does make it back to the big club, he'll work out of the bullpen.

Baz (2-2) earned the win against the Padres on Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Baz allowed a two-run homer in the first inning and then rebounded with four scoreless frames before being lifted at 78 pitches. The 25-year-old looked healthy after being scratched with the flu last Sunday, and he has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in six of seven outings since the All-Star break. On the season, he owns a 3.49 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 41:20 K:BB across 49 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Twins next week.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Glasnow (elbow) could return to Los Angeles' rotation in mid-September in a "best-case scenario," per MLB.com.

Glasnow landed on the injured list for the second time this season Aug. 16 due to right elbow tendinitis. He played catch both Friday and Saturday and said after the latter session that he is "confident" he will return to the Dodgers' rotation before the end of the season, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Roberts previously stated that Glasnow will require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to a potential activation, and the ace pitcher's timeline suggests that, at maximum, he could pitch in three more regular-season games ahead of the playoffs.

Detmers is expected to be added to the Angels' roster and will start Tuesday against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

MLB rosters expand to 28 players Sunday, and the Angels will add Detmers to seemingly create a six-man rotation for the tail end of the regular season, per Fletcher. Detmers was sent down to Triple-A Salt Lake on June 1 after giving up four earned runs or more in seven of his eight prior major-league starts. He has a 5.54 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 78 innings with Salt Lake this season, but he's been better over his last three starts with a 1.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 21 frames.

Herz (2-7) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Herz cruised through four scoreless innings but then hit a wall in a four-run fifth frame. It was the first time in eight outings since the All-Star break that the rookie allowed more than two earned runs, though he has only pitched deep enough to earn one quality start in that span. On the season, Herz owns a 4.09 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 88:26 K:BB across 70.1 innings and lines up to face the Pirates next weekend.

Assad (7-4) earned the win against the Nationals on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Assad allowed nine hard-hit balls and generated just two swinging strikes on 90 pitches but performed well enough to earn his second straight quality start. The 27-year-old has yielded three earned runs or fewer in each of his eight outings since the All-Star break, though he has failed to complete five frames in half of them. On the season, he owns a 3.21 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 106:53 K:BB across 126 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Yankees next weekend.

The Dodgers will recall Wrobleski from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Through the first five starts of his MLB career, Wrobleski has put up a 4.68 ERA and 1.20 WHIP alongside an 18:9 K:BB through 25 innings. He's now set to receive another chance to prove he can stick around in a Dodgers rotation that has been plagued with injuries, though he'll have the tough task of facing a Diamondbacks offense that boasts an incredible .850 OPS since the start of August.
