  • Tommy Edman 2B | LAD

    Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Expected to return after weekend

    Manager Dave Roberts said Edman (ankle) is unlikely to come off the injured list during the series in Arizona over the weekend, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Edman is set to do some running Tuesday while the Dodgers play in Miami. His ankle has not responded as quickly as the team initially anticipated, which resulted in Hyeseong Kim getting called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City. While it Edman is eligible to return Saturday from the 10-day injured list, he is now more likely to return May 13 versus the Athletics, as the Dodgers have an off day May 12.

  • Ivan Herrera DH | STL

    Cardinals' Ivan Herrera: Could return during road trip

    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Tuesday that Herrera (knee) could be activated from the 10-day injured list during the team's road trip that begins Friday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Herrera has gone 6-for-14 with one home run and one double in his first four rehab games with Triple-A Memphis and will catch seven innings in his fifth rehab contest Tuesday. It sounds like the catcher might be back as soon as Friday's game against the Nationals. He's been out since April 6 with a left knee bone bruise.

  • Sal Frelick RF | MIL

    Brewers' Sal Frelick: Aiming to return Friday

    Frelick (knee) hopes to return to the Brewers lineup Friday in Tampa Bay, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

    Frelick is dealing with left knee inflammation and has been ruled out for the remainder of the Brewers' series against the Astros that runs through Wednesday. Milwaukee has a team off day Thursday, which will allow Frelick a fourth day of rest before he tries to return to action Friday for the start of the team's road trip.

  • Landon Knack RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Landon Knack: Set to pitch Wednesday

    Knack is scheduled to be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to pitch in Wednesday's game against the Marlins, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    The right-hander joined the Dodgers as a member of the taxi squad Tuesday and will make his fourth MLB appearance of the season a day later. Manager Dave Roberts said a decision has yet to be made on whether Knack will start the contest or follow an opener. The 27-year-old has given up seven earned runs with a 7:6 K:BB across 8.2 big-league frames this year.

  • Mookie Betts SS | LAD

    Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Absent from Dodgers' lineup

    Betts is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami.

    It's the first day off for Betts since March 29, when he was still regaining strength following an illness that caused him to lose nearly 20 pounds. Miguel Rojas will occupy shortstop and bat seventh for the Dodgers on Tuesday.

  • James Outman CF | DET

    Dodgers' James Outman: Promoted, starting Tuesday

    The Dodgers recalled Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he's starting in center field and batting eighth Tuesday against the Marlins.

    The 27-year-old will join the Dodgers for the first time in 2025 since Teoscar Hernandez was placed on the injured list with an adductor strain. Outman should see regular playing time against right-handed pitching, especially since Tommy Edman (ankle) is also on the shelf for at least a few more days. Outman has enjoyed a strong start to the Triple-A season with an .830 OPS and eight homers in 32 games, but his swing-and-miss issues have been as present as ever with a 36.3 percent strikeout rate.

  • Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Has Grade 1 adductor strain

    The Dodgers placed Hernandez on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a Grade 1 left adductor strain, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Hernandez had to leave Monday's game in Miami with what was called hamstring tightness at the time, but it turns out it's his adductor/groin area that's the issue. The fact that the strain is only Grade 1 gives Hernandez a chance to avoid a long-term absence, but there is no timetable for his return. The Dodgers have Andy Pages in right field and James Outman in center field Tuesday versus the Marlins.

  • Rockies' Chase Dollander: Tigers-Rockies postponed

    Dollander will not start Tuesday versus the Tigers after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

    The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Thursday. Dollander will likely be simply pushed back a day to start Wednesday. However, he did exit his last outing with a split fingernail, so the Rockies might elect to give him extra rest.

  • Eric Wagaman 1B | NYM

    Marlins' Eric Wagaman: Taking seat Tuesday

    Wagaman is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Wagaman's absence from the lineup Tuesday breaks a run of 17 straight starts, during which he had a .243/.264/.400 slash line with five doubles and two homers. Matt Mervis will man first base while Agustin Ramirez receives a turn at designated hitter.

  • Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Headed to injured list

    The Dodgers will place Hernandez (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Miami, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Hernandez had to exit Monday's game against the Marlins with left hamstring tightness. There's no word yet on the results of an MRI, but evidently it was bad enough that a trip to the IL will be required. James Outman appears poised to take Hernandez's roster spot and could see reps in the outfield. The Dodgers also figure to give Hyeseong Kim a look in the outfield while Hernandez is out.
