Dodgers' Landon Knack: Impressive in bounce-back effort
Landon Knack (3-4) earned the win over Miami on Wednesday, allowing two hits and issuing two walks while striking out seven batters over five scoreless innings.Knack struggled mightily in his previous start, surrendering five runs in just two innings against Atlanta. He bounced back with an excellent performance Wednesday, racking up seven punchouts while limiting the Marlins to just two hits (both singles). Knack's strong outing may have implications beyond this contest, as he's in consideration for a spot in Los Angeles' initial postseason rotation given the likely unavailability of Clayton Kershaw (toe), Tyler Glasnow (elbow) and Gavin Stone (shoulder).

Dodgers' Landon Knack: Shellacked in loss
Landon Knack (2-4) was the pitcher of record in Friday's 6-2 loss to Atlanta, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and two walks over two innings. He struck out two.After returning from Triple-A Oklahoma City last week and delivering a quality start against the Guardians, Knack stumbled out the gate in his second turn through the rotation, allowing three hits and one run in the first inning. Things didn't get better for the 27-year-old in the second inning, as he gave up four runs on four hits -- including two home runs -- before exiting after 64 pitches. Despite the lackluster showing, Knack should continue to hold a starting spot given the myriad injuries plaguing the Los Angeles rotation. He currently projects to face a much easier opponent in the Marlins on the road for his next start.

Dodgers' Landon Knack: Does well in loss
Landon Knack (2-3) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings Friday, taking the loss versus the Guardians.Knack was called up to fill a spot in the Los Angeles Dodgers' downtrodden rotation while Clayton Kershaw (toe) and Gavin Stone (shoulder) are out of action. This was Knack's first big-league game since Aug. 13, and he was able to limit the Guardians to a two-run home run by Andres Gimenez in the sixth inning. Through 11 appearances (nine starts), Knack has given up more than two runs just twice. He's at a 3.00 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 52:13 K:BB through 54 innings. He'll likely get at least one more start, which is tentatively projected to come in Atlanta, though Knack could stick around longer if the Dodgers decide he's a better option than Bobby Miller.
