Sheehan (5-8) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out 10 over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Reds on Monday.
Sheehan overcame an Elly De La Cruz home run in the second at-bat of the game, locking down the Reds' lineup pretty well after that. The 10 strikeouts matched Sheehan's season high, set April 24 versus the Cubs. In the majors this year, he has a 5.08 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 118:31 K:BB through 101 innings over 21 starts. Sheehan has a path to starts until Roki Sasaki (finger) returns, and perhaps beyond that if he sticks as the sixth man in the rotation through the end of the regular season. Sheehan's next outing is projected to be on the road versus the Marlins.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
Sheehan will start Monday's game against the Reds, which will be his first start in the big leagues since early August. The right-hander has been on a roll of late at Oklahoma City, permitting just one earned run with a 16:4 K:BB over his last two starts covering 11.2 innings. It's possible Sheehan will receive additional starts this month if things go well. He's logged a disappointing 5.29 ERA in 20 starts with the big club in 2026.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Slated for bulk duty Monday
Rotowire
Sheehan will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to throw the bulk of the innings Monday against the Reds, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The 26-year-old right-hander will return for his 21st appearance for the major-league team this season, and while he may have an opener in front of him this time around, Sheehan is expected to handle the bulk of the innings in the series opener against Cincinnati. Sheehan has posted rather pedestrian numbers in the big leagues this season (5.29 ERA, 1.29 WHIP), but he has allowed just one earned run with a 16:4 K:BB over his last two starts and 11.2 innings with Oklahoma City.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Back with Dodgers to help bullpen
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
Sheehan will be used in relief for the time being, giving some length to an overworked Dodgers bullpen. The right-hander struck out eight over 5.2 scoreless innings in his last start for Oklahoma City. Sheehan was sent down by the Dodgers earlier this month after collecting a 5.29 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 108:30 K:BB across 95.1 innings at the big-league level.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Dispatched to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers optioned Sheehan to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
After Sheehan was shelled for five earned runs in 2.2 innings during Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Red Sox, manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the right-hander's recent struggles, though he said that he didn't indicate that the Dodgers had any immediate plans to alter their rotation, per Katie Woo of The Athletic. The Dodgers ended up changing their tune a day later, as Sheehan will head to the minors to clear room on the 26-man active roster for catcher Hunter Feduccia, who was acquired shortly before Monday's trade deadline. With Los Angeles also adding Tarik Skubal and Kris Bubic (shoulder/elbow) ahead of the deadline and with Blake Snell (elbow) and Tyler Glasnow (back) nearing returns from the injured list, Sheehan could be bound for the bullpen the next time he receives a call-up. The 26-year-old righty has turned in a 4-8 record, 5.29 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 95.1 innings in 20 starts with the Dodgers this season.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Shelled in eighth loss
Rotowire
Sheehan (4-8) took the loss Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits, a walk and a hit-by-pitch over 2.2 innings against the Red Sox. He struck out four.
Sheehan couldn't settle in, permitting two runs in the first inning before giving up a trio of solo homers in a third frame that he failed to complete. Sunday marked the right-hander's second-shortest outing of the year and the third time he has surrendered five-plus runs in a game. It's been an incredibly disappointing campaign for the 26-year-old, who owns a 5.29 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 108:30 K:BB across 95.1 innings (20 starts). Sheehan is lined up to make his next start on the road against the Diamondbacks next weekend, though his spot in the rotation could come into question with the addition of Tarik Skubal and the impending return of Blake Snell (elbow).
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Limits Mets in no-decision
Rotowire
Sheehan did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings.
Sheehan stumbled out of the gate, allowing three straight hits before recording his first out, which resulted in the Mets plating their lone run against him. The right-hander responded impressively, holding New York hitless over the next 18 batters he faced. Sheehan exited in line for the win, but the Dodgers' bullpen quickly surrendered the lead en route to an 8-3 loss. He has now failed to complete six innings in each of his last eight starts while posting a 5.71 ERA during that stretch. His next outing is scheduled for Saturday at home against the Red Sox.
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Lit up for six runs in loss
Rotowire
Sheehan (4-7) took the loss Monday against the Phillies, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
Sheehan wasn't able to limit the damage when he got into trouble Monday, getting torched for four runs in the second inning and then two more in the sixth frame. The right-hander is without a quality start since June 1 in Arizona, and he matched season worsts in both hits and runs allowed Monday. Sheehan is set to close out a two-start week this weekend on the road against the Mets, holding a disappointing 5.13 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 99:27 K:BB over 87.2 innings.
Sheehan and the Dodgers won't face the Yankees on Saturday since the game was postponed due to rain.
The two teams will make up Saturday's contest with a doubleheader Sunday, and it's likely that Sheehan will get the nod to start one of the two games. The 26-year-old has struggled overall this year to the tune of a 4.81 ERA through 82.1 innings, though he's coughed up just five runs (four earned) while striking out 17 batters in 14.2 frames across his last three starts.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Start pushed back to Monday
Rotowire
Sheehan will not start the nightcap of Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees and will instead start Monday's series opener against Philadelphia, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Sheehan, who was originally slated to pitch against the Yankees on Saturday before the game was postponed, will open the series against the Phillies for the Dodgers on Monday. The Dodgers opted to go with a bullpen game for the second half of Sunday's doubleheader over the 26-year-old. On the season, the right-hander has posted a 4.81 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 93:26 K:BB in 82.1 innings.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Fans seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Sheehan did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out seven.
Sheehan posted four shutout innings before running into some trouble in the fifth and sixth frames. The right-hander has struggled with the long ball at times but kept the Diamondbacks from leaving the yard, marking just the second time this season he has gone back-to-back starts without allowing a homer after also holding the Padres homerless in his previous outing. The 26-year-old will take a 4-6 record with a 4.81 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 93:26 K:BB across 82.1 innings (17 starts) into the All-Star break.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Charged with sixth loss
Rotowire
Sheehan (4-6) took the loss Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out five.
The right-hander was mostly effective, holding the Padres to just one run, though after throwing 96 pitches (60 strikes) and surrendering a one-out double to Fernando Tatis, the Dodgers opted to pull Sheehan in the fifth inning. While the 26-year-old didn't provide significant length and was charged with the loss, his game-high 15 whiffs and ability to keep the ball in the yard were encouraging in what has been a disappointing campaign. Sheehan will take a 4.91 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 86:25 K:BB across 77 innings (16 starts) into his next start, tentatively scheduled for next Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Bounces back for fourth win
Rotowire
Sheehan (4-5) allowed one run on two hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Padres on Sunday.
Sheehan put together a decent performance, throwing 55 of 84 pitches for strikes to snap his four-game losing streak and six-game winless stretch. He had fallen short of the five-inning mark in two of his previous three outings. While Sunday's outing was better, he still has a shaky 5.08 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP and 81:22 K:BB across 72.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Sheehan's next start is projected to be at home in a rematch with the Padres.
