Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Glasnow (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list and start Wednesday in Milwaukee, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Roberts had previously said Glasnow would be back sometime this week, and now he's revealed the exact day the right-hander will make his return to the rotation. Glasnow has been sidelined for more than two months due to a shoulder injury and didn't pitch well in three rehab starts, posting an 8.31 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB in 8.2 innings. Glasnow went 4.1 frames and threw 78 pitches in his most recent rehab outing for Triple-A Oklahoma City last Thursday, so he will be on a somewhat restricted pitch count Wednesday.

Dodgers manager Dave Robert said Hernandez (foot) could be available off the bench Monday and Tuesday in Milwaukee before potentially returning to the lineup Wednesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez had been set to undergo imaging after fouling a pitch off his left foot Saturday versus the Astros. Those tests evidently came back negative, and Hernandez appears in line to avoid the injured list. The Dodgers do have an off day Thursday, so it's possible they'll hold Hernandez back until their series this weekend in San Francisco.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Edman (toe) could be available off the bench Monday and Tuesday in Milwaukee before possibly returning to the lineup Wednesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Edman will miss a second straight start Monday as he deals with a right pinkie toe injury, but it sounds like he's feeling better and his absence will be brief. When Edman returns to the lineup, he's expected to serve as the Dodgers' everyday third baseman while Max Muncy (knee) is shelved. Miguel Rojas is handling third base Monday.

The Dodgers designated Alexander for assignment Monday.

Alexander was just claimed off waivers last week and will now go through the waivers process again. The 28-year-old has spent most of this season at the Triple-A level, slashing .236/.335/.429 between three organizations.

The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Wrobleski struggled as a bulk reliever Saturday against the Astros, permitting five runs (four earned) over 4.2 innings while notching six strikeouts. The lefty had pitched well in June with a 2.73 ERA and 26:6 K:BB over 26.1 frames, but with Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) poised to return later this week, Wrobleski will head to Oklahoma City for now.

The Dodgers selected Fernandez's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Fernandez has posted a 4.08 ERA and 32:10 K:BB over 28.2 inning this season with Oklahoma City. If the 29-year-old gets into a game, it would be his first at the big-league level since 2021.

The Dodgers recalled Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

The Dodgers have some banged up outfielders, so Outman will provide depth in that area in the final week before the All-Star break. Outman has gone 3-for-24 with two home runs during his brief time in the majors this season.

The Dodgers placed Hernandez on the 10-day injured list Monday with left elbow inflammation.

Manager Dave Roberts said it's an injury Hernandez has dealt with for about a month, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Because the injury is to his non-throwing elbow, Hernandez would seem to have a good chance to return when first eligible at the start of the second half.

Vaughn will start at first base and bat fifth in Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

The Brewers are throwing Vaughn right into the lineup after he took the roster spot of the injured Rhys Hoskins (thumb). While the Brewers also figure to give Jake Bauers reps at first base while Hoskins is out, it's notable that the right-handed-hitting Vaughn is getting the first shot against Dodgers right Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Vaughn was acquired via trade from the White Sox last month after he slashed .248/.303/.407 in parts of five seasons with the Pale Hose.

Ortiz is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

Ortiz is getting a second straight day off as he battles through a 4-for-29 slump at the dish, with Brewers manager Pat Murphy saying he wants Ortiz to clean up his swing decisions, per Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Andruw Monasterio will fill in at shortstop again for Milwaukee.
