Scott (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Scott is ready to test himself in a game environment after he cleared a major hurdle in his recovery from left elbow inflammation by throwing a simulated inning against live hitters Friday. Given that Scott has been on the injured list since July 22, he may need more than one rehab appearance before being activated, but his stint on the farm shouldn't be a lengthy one. Scott leads the Dodgers with 19 saves on the season and could step back in as the team's primary ninth-inning option upon his return, as no pitcher has run away with the closing job since the left-hander landed on the IL.

Yates (back) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Yates incurred no problems with his back while facing live batters Saturday, so he'll advance to the final phase of his recovery program by embarking on a rehab assignment. The right-hander has been on the shelf since Aug. 1 due to lower back pain but may require just a couple of appearances in the minors before the Dodgers are comfortable bringing him back from the 15-day injured list. Shortly before getting hurt, Yates had factored into the Dodgers' unsettled closer picture, but with Tanner Scott (elbow) tracking toward a return from the IL at a similar date, Yates may be in line for a middle-relief or setup role upon his activation.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Muncy's (oblique) condition is improving, and the 34-year-old is scheduled to take part in some "rotational" work Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Though Muncy's oblique strain is of the mild variety, the Dodgers are still expecting him to miss more than the minimum 10 days after he landed on the injured list Friday. Muncy is still in the early stages of his recovery program, so a clearer timeline for his return from the IL is unlikely to become available until he's able to take part in full baseball activities. While Muncy has been out of action for the Dodgers' last four games, Alex Freeland has made three starts at third base and Buddy Kennedy has made one start.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Edman (ankle) has been able to take part in baseball activities and remains likely to return from the 10-day injured list at some point in early September, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Edman is further away from a return from the IL than fellow utility players Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) and Enrique Hernandez (elbow), both of whom are set to begin rehab assignments with Triple-A Oklahoma City this week. A clearer timeline for Edman's return should emerge once he's cleared for a rehab assignment, which could happen soon after he reaches the point in his recovery program that he's able to run the bases without any restrictions. Edman was placed on the IL on Aug. 4 due to a right ankle sprain, the same ankle that he had previously injured earlier in the season.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Kim (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Oklahoma City this week to begin a rehab assignment, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Roberts confirmed that Kim would be ready to test out his left shoulder in a game setting after the rookie was able to take live batting practice Sunday without issue. Kim, who has been on the injured list since July 29 while recovering from shoulder bursitis, could be ready to rejoin the Dodgers at some point in the final week of August if all goes well during his rehab assignment. Once he's activated from the IL, Kim could settle in as the Dodgers' primary second baseman in the short term, as Tommy Edman (ankle) isn't expected to be ready to return to action until at least early September.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Hernandez (elbow) took part in batting practice Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Hernandez had been able to take part in baseball activities for more than a week, but being able to take at-bats against live pitching is especially notable, given that swinging the bat had been presenting the most discomfort for him while he attempted to play through his left elbow injury before landing on the shelf July 7. According to Sonja Chen of MLB.com, Hernandez is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City this week, potentially setting the utility player up for a return from the 10-day injured list before the end of August.

Olson went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

It was his first steal of 2025, and only his second in four seasons with Atlanta. Olson is racking up plenty of hits in August, batting .290 (18-for-62) over 16 games, but he's managed just one homer and four RBI over that span. The first baseman's .449 SLG on the year would be the lowest mark of his career over a full season.

Horwitz went 1-for-5 with a double and an RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

Horwitz snapped a brief three-game hitless streak with an RBI double in the third inning to tie the game at 1-1. He has had an inconsistent season as the Pirates' primary first baseman, but he has hit .295 with three home runs, 18 RBI and 13 runs scored across 27 games since the All-Star break.

Agnos (elbow) said that he hopes to resume playing catch Monday, MLB.com reports.

Agnos has been shut down from throwing since landing on the injured list July 27 due to right flexor strain, but he appears to be close to taking the first notable step forward in his recovery process. As a reliever, Agnos won't require an extended build-up period once he starts throwing, but he still appears unlikely to rejoin the Colorado bullpen before the end of August.

Bart went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Cubs.

Bart saw his playing time slip for much of July, but he has mostly alternated starts with Henry Davis since Aug. 4. In eight games since, Bart has gone 6-for-24 with two doubles, one home run and four RBI. He delivered a two-RBI double in the sixth inning Sunday to briefly give the Pirates the lead.
