Wrobleski struck out five and allowed one earned run on four hits and no walks over 4.1 innings out of the bullpen in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Giants.

After he made his second start of the season with the big club in his previous appearance June 6 in St. Louis, Wrobleski was initially listed as the Dodgers' starter for this past Wednesday's game against the Padres. However, the Dodgers ultimately made a late change and had Ben Casparius make a four-inning start, while a slew of relievers finished out the contest. It's unclear what the Dodgers' plans were heading into Friday, but Wrobleski ended up effectively piggybacking starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who racked up 102 pitches over 4.2 innings before giving way to the southpaw. The Dodgers kicked off a stretch of 10 games in 10 days Friday, and with the likelihood that the team expands its rotation to six men during the upcoming week, Wrobleski could soon be in line for another start or bulk-relief appearance.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's 12-4 win over the Rockies.

Ozuna established a season high in RBI while crushing his 11th homer of the year, a three-run shot in the seventh inning off Victor Vodnik. The 34-year-old slugger has struggled to find his power stroke lately, slashing just .208/.310/.306 with two long balls, one double and 10 RBI over his last 84 plate appearances, but Ozuna does have 10 walks during that 19-game span.

McMahon went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, a walk and an additional RBI in Friday's 12-4 loss to Atlanta.

McMahon set a season high in RBI while also tallying his fourth game with at least three hits in 2025. The veteran third baseman's overall fantasy upside may remain capped by a woeful Rockies lineup around him, but he's still been one of the team's lone bright spots recently. Over his last 60 plate appearances, McMahon is slashing .280/.383/.538 with three big flies, four doubles, seven RBI and five runs scored.

Elder took a no-decision Friday against the Rockies, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out two.

On the heels of fanning a career-high 12 in his last start, Elder floundered in a favorable spot at home versus the woeful Rockies. The 26-year-old right-hander's two punchouts matched a season low, and he tossed a season-low 3.1 frames. Elder holds a serviceable 4.35 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB across 60.2 innings in 2025. He projects to next face a Mets team that's slugging a robust .471 against righties over their last 34 games.

Marquez didn't factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta, giving up one run on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out seven.

Marquez was able to put together one of his finer performances amid what's been a rough season for him overall. The seven strikeouts represented a season high for the veteran right-hander, who pitched at least five innings while yielding one run or fewer for only the fourth time among his 14 outings. Marquez owns a poor 6.62 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 48:22 K:BB over 68 innings, so he still doesn't shape up as a recommended fantasy streamer in most cases his next time out against the Nationals.

Holmes didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Rays, giving up one run on three hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out three.

The long ball has become a problem for Holmes, who has served up nine homers in his last seven starts after yielding none in his first seven, but that didn't stop him tossing five strong frames Friday. Although the right-hander has fanned more than five just once in his last nine appearances, he's fired at least six innings on six occasions during this span. Holmes owns a steady 2.87 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 68:25 K:BB across 78.1 innings for the year, and he's set to face a tough test against Atlanta next week.

Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Giants.

Hernandez was the only Dodger to find any success with the bat against Giants ace Logan Webb, as the outfielder accounted for both of Los Angeles' hits. This was Hernandez's first multi-hit effort since May 27 versus the Guardians. He's homered in consecutive contests, which may be just the spark he needs to turn things around. The recent slump has dropped him to a .266 batting average, but he still has an .801 OPS, 12 homers, 48 RBI, 34 runs scored and five stolen bases over 55 games this season.

Yamamoto (6-5) allowed five runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants.

Yamamoto's five walks were a season high, and that was just part of the sloppiness in this outing. He also allowed multiple homers for the third time this year, including a grand slam to Casey Schmitt in the third inning that accounted for most of the damage. Yamamoto is winless in June, going 0-2 with nine runs allowed and a 15:10 K:BB over 14.1 innings across three starts. Despite the recent struggles, he's at a 2.64 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 90:30 K:BB through 78.1 innings over 14 starts. Yamamoto is expected to take the mound at some point during next week's home series versus the Padres.

Knizner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

Knizner went yard in the eighth inning to restore a four-run lead for the Giants, and the homer was his first hit in five games. He's now 1-for-15 (.067) with a walk and two runs scored over five contests. Knizner is operating as the starting catcher while Patrick Bailey (neck) is out, but his relatively unimpressive career numbers make Knizner an unattractive option for most fantasy formats.

Adames went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Dodgers.

Adames has homered in three of his last four games, going 6-for-16 (.375) with six RBI in that span. The shortstop went just 2-for-30 over his 10 contests prior to this power surge. Recent success aside, it continues to be a challenging first year in San Francisco for Adames, who is batting .204 with a .635 OPS, eight homers, 32 RBI, 37 runs scored and three stolen bases over 69 games.
