Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Targeting late-July return
Hernandez (oblique) said Friday that he expects to return from the injured list during the Dodgers' first homestand after the All-Star break, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The Dodgers will open the second half with three consecutive road series before returning home July 28 for a three-game series against the Mariners, followed by another three-game set against Boston that runs through Aug. 2. Hernandez was cleared to begin taking live BP last weekend, and he will presumably head out on a minor-league rehab assignment after the break while the Dodgers are on the road.

Dodgers' Kyle Hurt: Starting bullpen game
Hurt will start a bullpen game for the Dodgers on Friday versus the Diamondbacks, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
Hurt has plenty of past starting experience, but he's been a reliever almost exclusively since 2024 and hasn't recorded more than four outs in an appearance for the Dodgers in 2026. With no long relievers on their roster, the Dodgers will employ a true bullpen game after Shohei Ohtani (knee) was scratched from what was scheduled to be his final start before the All-Star break.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Scratched due to knee irritation
Ohtani has been scratched from Friday's start against the Diamondbacks due to continued irritation in his left knee.
Ohtani will serve as the Dodgers' designated hitter Friday and for the rest of the weekend, but he will not pitch because of a nagging knee issue that first popped up a month ago. According to Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, Ohtani will have the knee drained and will likely receive an injection over the All-Star break, which will prevent him from participating in the All-Star Game. Kyle Hurt will start what will be a bullpen game for the Dodgers in Friday's series opener versus the Diamondbacks.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Clean inning for 13th save
Scott struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.
Scott blew a save Monday, but he was able to bounce back in this appearance, retiring the side on just 11 pitches (seven strikes). He's now 13-for-15 in save chances while adding six holds this season. Scott had an eight-inning scoreless streak prior to Monday and has been consistent enough this season to assume that performance was just a blip. He's pitched to a 2.63 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 49:5 K:BB through 37.2 innings.

Dodgers' Roki Sasaki: Bounces back with quality start
Sasaki allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Wednesday.
Sasaki allowed home runs to Kyle Karros and Edouard Julien in the second inning but was otherwise effective in a baseline quality start. Entering Wednesday, Sasaki had allowed 19 runs over 17 innings across his previous four starts, so this was a significant step in the right direction. The right-hander has pitched to a 5.33 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 80:33 K:BB through 81 innings over 16 starts this season. Homers have been a noticeable issue -- he's allowed 19 so far.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Resting up Wednesday
Pages isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
After going 1-for-9 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored across the first two games of the series, Pages will retreat to the dugout to begin Wednesday's finale. Alex Call will fill the void in center field and bat eighth.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Swipes bag in return
Edman went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.
Seeing Edman swipe a bag is a positive sign after he sat out two games due to issues with his right foot/ankle, the same one that was surgically repaired in the offseason. He played the full game in left field to give Teoscar Hernandez a day off. Edman is batting .340 with a .917 OPS, one home run, two steals, nine RBI, seven runs scored, three doubles and a triple over 18 contests this season. He'll get a decent share of the time at second base, but Edman's versatility and the Dodgers' trust in Alex Freeland means the former is often functionally more of super-utility player.

Dodgers' Alex Freeland: Three hits, steal in loss
Freeland went 3-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.
Freeland has started at second base in five of the Dodgers' seven games in July, including three times against right-handers. There was room for both Freeland and Tommy Edman in the lineup Tuesday since Teoscar Hernandez got a day off, but the two are largely expected to share duties at the keystone. Edman's versatility likely means Freeland won't get completely shut out of the lineup, but it remains to be seen how the work gets divvied up. Freeland is batting .237 with a .637 OPS, three home runs, two steals, 19 RBI, 24 runs scored and seven doubles over 218 plate appearances.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Reaches 20-homer mark
Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies.
Ohtani's solo shot led off the bottom of the first inning. He has homered in consecutive contests and now has 20 long balls on the year. The superstar is batting .294 with a .950 OPS, 56 RBI, 62 runs scored, six stolen bases, 15 doubles and two triples over 88 contests. Ohtani has hit at least 34 homers in five straight seasons, but his power pace this year means he's facing an uphill climb if he's to get back to the 50-homer power he displayed in his first two years as a Dodger.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Let down by bullpen
Wrobleski allowed one run on six hits and two walks while striking out nine over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Tuesday.
Wrobleski has gone at least six innings in six of his last seven games, earning six quality starts in that span. He was denied a fourth straight win after Will Klein and Jack Dreyer combined to squander the Dodgers' lead in the eighth inning. Wrobleski continues to roll with a 2.69 ERA on the year, complemented by a 1.02 WHIP and 73:20 K:BB through 100.1 innings. While his overall strikeout rate is just fine at 7.8 K/9, he's logged 20 strikeouts over his last two starts.
