Sheehan (4-2) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings Tuesday, striking out seven and earning a win over Colorado.
Sheehan coughed up a pair of two-run homers in the victory, first to Brenton Doyle in the fourth inning before Kyle Karros knocked one in the sixth. Sheehan allowed 10 runs over 30 innings in his first seven appearances this season, but he has since been tagged with nine runs over his last two outings. His season ERA has jumped from 3.00 to 4.17 during that span. On the bright side, he generated a season-high 15 whiffs Tuesday, including 10 with his slider. Sheehan will carry a 44:15 K:BB into his next matchup, which is slated to be at home against the Reds next week.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Surrenders five runs
Rotowire
Sheehan allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Tuesday.
Sheehan gave up three runs in the first inning and never really got comfortable after that. The Dodgers' fifth-inning rally spared him from taking a loss, but this was a lackluster performance for a pitcher that's still trying to find more consistency. He's now at a 3.86 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB over 35 innings across eight appearances (six starts) this season. Sheehan is projected to make his next start at Colorado, which may be a matchup fantasy managers will want to avoid.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Decent in third win
Rotowire
Sheehan (3-2) allowed two unearned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.
Sheehan threw 49 of 76 pitches for strikes after making a 72-pitch relief appearance in his last outing. He's back in the rotation after the trade deadline, as the Dodgers shipped out Dustin May to the Red Sox. With the Dodgers using a six-man rotation, Sheehan's spot is likely safe at least until Roki Sasaki (shoulder) returns, which isn't imminent. Sheehan is at a 3.00 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB across 30 innings through seven outings (five starts) this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Angels.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Joining six-man rotation
Rotowire
Sheehan is expected to be part of the Dodgers' six-man rotation moving forward and is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Cardinals, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Even with Blake Snell (shoulder) scheduled to return from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday against the Rays, Sheehan will move into the rotation after Los Angeles cleared another spot by trading Dustin May to the Red Sox on Thursday. In his most recent appearance Wednesday against the Reds, Sheehan worked in relief behind Shohei Ohtani, but Sheehan still covered 3.2 innings and tossed 72 pitches to keep himself stretched out for a starting role. Since making his 2025 Dodgers debut June 18 after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery, Sheehan has turned in a 3.60 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB in 25 innings over six appearances (four starts).

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Fans five in long relief
Rotowire
Sheehan (2-2) took the loss against the Reds on Wednesday, allowing three unearned runs on one hit and three walks while striking out five batters over 3.2 innings.
Shohei Ohtani (lower body) started and completed three innings, and after Anthony Banda took over for one frame, Sheehan entered in the fifth. The right-hander breezed through three scoreless innings before a pair of walks got him into trouble in the eighth. Sheehan almost got out of the inning, but Andy Pages dropped a foul ball that could have been the third out, and Cincinnati went on to score three times. Despite taking the loss, Sheehan impressed, racking up 15 whiffs on his 72 pitches and notching five punchouts. The Dodgers are still figuring out their rotation with Blake Snell (shoulder) set to return Saturday, but that may not keep Sheehan from working as a starter moving forward, as the team is using a six-man rotation and Dustin May is headed to the bullpen, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Could work in relief Wednesday
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Sheehan "might be" available to work in relief behind right-hander Shohei Ohtani in Wednesday's game against the Reds, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
For the first time since Ohtani made his 2025 debut as a pitcher June 16, the Dodgers aren't committed to having another hurler piggyback him, but the two-way player will still be limited to four innings in his seventh start of the season while he continues to gradually increase his workload following his second career elbow surgery in September 2023. Sheehan had started in his previous two appearances with the Dodgers, but with Blake Snell (shoulder) likely to return from the 60-day injured list this weekend to give the team six healthy starters, Sheehan looks set to move to the bullpen for the time being. The right-hander will be available on four days' rest and should be capable of covering multiple innings behind Ohtani, if needed.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Notches second win
Rotowire
Sheehan (2-1) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on three hits and two walks over five innings in a 5-2 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out five.
The 25-year-old righty bounced back nicely from a rough outing last Saturday against the Brewers, tossing 47 of 78 pitches for strikes in this one as he completed five innings for the second time in five big-league outings this season. Sheehan has been an effective stop-gap for the Dodgers, posting a 4.22 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB over 21.1 innings, but he may be headed back to Triple-A Oklahoma City, as Blake Snell (shoulder) will likely need only one more rehab start before rejoining the rotation.
Sheehan (1-1) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over three-plus innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Brewers.
Sheehan had given up a total of three runs over his first 13.1 innings this season. He was off to a good start until the third inning Saturday, when he allowed four runs, and his outing ended in the fourth after he surrendered a solo home run to Isaac Collins. It was a rough return to a starting role after Sheehan was used as a bulk reliever in his previous appearances. He's now at a 4.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB through 16.1 innings this season. He has a tenuous grasp on a rotation spot, aided by the facts that the Dodgers have used six starters when possible and Shohei Ohtani is still building up his workload. Sheehan's place in the rotation could still be at risk once Blake Snell (shoulder) returns, though it's tentatively expected Sheehan will draw a start in Boston next week.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Returning to starting role Saturday
Rotowire
Sheehan is slated to start Saturday's game against the Brewers at Dodger Stadium, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
After tossing 4.1 innings in bulk relief behind starter Shohei Ohtani in his most recent appearance July 12, Sheehan will pick up his third start of the season with the Dodgers for his first outing of the second half. Over his three big-league appearances to date, Sheehan has maintained a tidy 2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 13.1 innings, but he could nonetheless find himself at risk of losing his spot in the rotation once Blake Snell (shoulder) likely returns from the 60-day injured list in late July or early August.
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Notches victory in bulk relief
Rotowire
Sheehan (1-0) earned the win over the Giants on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.
Shohei Ohtani started on the mound for Los Angeles and tossed three scoreless frames. Sheehan followed and kept San Francisco off the board through the seventh inning, but he allowed two singles and a walk to load the bases with one out in the eighth. Alex Vesia entered in relief and was able to limit the damage to one run, and Sheehan emerged with the win as the Dodgers hung on to end a seven-game losing streak. The right-hander has pitched well through three outings this season, posting a 2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across 13.1 frames. It's unclear what his role will be moving forward -- per Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, manager Dave Roberts wouldn't say Saturday if Sheehan will continue piggybacking with Ohtani following the All-Star break, and the team's rotation could also get Blake Snell (shoulder) back as soon as late July.
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Piggybacking Ohtani on Saturday
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Sheehan is scheduled to pitch in bulk relief behind Shohei Ohtani in Saturday's game against the Giants, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Sheehan was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday and made his second start of the campaign later that day in the Dodgers' 5-1 loss to the Astros. After opening the season on the injured list while recovering from his May 2024 Tommy John surgery, the young right-hander has looked sharp in both of his outings for the Dodgers, posting a 2.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB in nine innings. Though he could eventually be squeezed out of the rotation once Ohtani is fully stretched out and Blake Snell (shoulder) returns from the injured list, Sheehan looks worthy of rostering in most fantasy leagues while he's up with the Dodgers. Ohtani has yet to surpass two innings in any of his four starts as a pitcher, and since he likely won't be asked to cover more than three or four frames Saturday, Sheehan will be in good position to pick up a win if he's able to exit his bulk-relief appearance with the Dodgers holding a lead.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: No-decision in big-league return
Rotowire
Sheehan did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Astros. He allowed one run on five hits and one walk over five innings with four strikeouts.
The 25-year-old right-hander looked sharp in this 80-pitch outing, as he averaged 96.1 mph on his fastball after sitting at 95.2 mph in his only other appearance June 18 against San Diego. The only run Sheehan allowed came on a sacrifice fly by Jose Altuve in the third. After dominating Triple-A with a 43.0 percent K-BB across 17.2 frames, Sheehan looks set to stick in the Los Angeles rotation. He'll carry a 2.00 ERA and 10:1 K:BB across nine big-league innings into his next start, which is currently scheduled to be at San Francisco next weekend.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Recalled ahead of start
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to his start Sunday against the Astros.
Sheehan will be making his second start of the season with the big club, after he previously struck out six batters over four innings of one-run ball in a June 18 outing against the Padres following his return from the 60-day injured list. During his time in the minors while completing his rehab from Tommy John surgery and in his two starts since being optioned to Triple-A, Sheehan owns a 4.12 ERA in 19.2 innings, but his 0.92 WHIP and 36:2 K:BB offer a better indicator of how dominant he's looked in his return from the major arm injury. Now that he's set to rejoin the Dodgers and could be in line for multiple turns if the team keeps a six-man rotation in place, Sheehan makes for an appealing speculative pickup in fantasy leagues where he's still available.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Joining rotation Sunday
Rotowire
Sheehan will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Sunday's game against the Astros, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports,
Sheehan had a decent four-inning, six-strikeout start June 18 for the Dodgers in his return from the 60-day injured list, but was sent back down to Triple-A and responded with a marvelous 13-strikeout performance over six perfect frames for Oklahoma City on June 25. He followed that up with a 2.1-inning outing Tuesday in which he gave up four runs and struck out two batters. He missed all of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but Sheehan has significant upside and would line up to make the Dodgers' final first-half start July 13 in San Francisco if he acquits himself well against Houston.
