The Reds have yet to be swept this season, hopefully the Dodgers can change that today.

If they do sweep, it’ll be a tough one as they’re running out a hobbled reserve lineup.

Alex Call (lower back) is not in the Dodgers lineup, per Dave Roberts.
Freddie Freeman also isn’t in the lineup. He’s dealing with a stinger. Plan is for him to be in the lineup on Friday.

Freddie Freeman has a stinger in his neck and is getting a couple days off, while Alex Call‘s lower back issue persists.
Sounds like #Dodgers will make RHP Michael Kopech and IF Hyeseong Kim their additions when rosters expand to 28 next week. Both are on rehab assignments with OKCMax Muncy could come off the IL next week as well. Took batting practice and did defensive drills on the field today

Reinforcements are coming at least via Michael Kopech and Hyeseong Kim, then eventually Max Muncy.
#Dodgers Dave Roberts said reports on Roki Sasaki’s latest start with OKC are that “each start has been better.” Expectation is that Sasaki will pitch for OKC again “and then it’ll be a real conversation on what it looks like for him potentially coming back to us.”

Roki Sasaki is making progress, but he’s a long-shot to make an impact this year, IMO.
