Roupp did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Roupp opened with five scoreless frames before allowing a solo homer in the sixth, departing one out shy of a quality start after throwing 98 pitches. It was an encouraging rebound for the 27-year-old, who had yielded eight runs while pitching through back discomfort in his previous outing Monday. He owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 77:30 K:BB across 69.2 innings this season and lines up for a home rematch against the Cubs next weekend.

Smith was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

The Dodgers haven't announced why Smith was taken out of the starting nine, but more details should come in the near future. In the meantime, Dalton Rushing will fill in as the Dodgers' catcher and bat eighth.

Brown did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Giants, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out five over 5.1 scoreless innings.

Brown threw just 51 of 87 pitches for strikes but managed to keep the Giants off the board, departing two outs shy of what would have been his third straight quality start. Since joining the rotation May 8, the 26-year-old has allowed more than one earned run just once in six outings. He'll carry a stellar 1.74 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 58:16 K:BB across 57 innings into a road matchup against the Rockies next week.

Mitchell isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

Mitchell will get a chance to rest his legs Saturday after going 3-for-11 with an RBI and a run scored in four games since the start of June. While he sits, Jake Bauers, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick will start across the outfield.

Rengifo isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Rengifo will grab a seat on the bench after going 3-for-16 with three RBI and three runs scored over his last five games. His absence will put David Hamilton at third base and Joey Ortiz in the lineup as Milwaukee's shortstop.

Crow-Armstrong went 4-for-5 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Giants.

Crow-Armstrong got the Cubs on the board with a solo shot in the sixth inning before tying the game in the ninth with a 403-foot blast. The 24-year-old is in the midst of an 11-game hitting streak that includes five homers, nine RBI, nine runs scored and one stolen base. The hot stretch has boosted his season slash line to .259/.343/.448 to go along with 11 long balls, 32 RBI, 37 runs scored and 13 steals across 272 plate appearances.

Tucker isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Tucker will grab a seat on the bench to begin Saturday's game after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Friday's series opener. While he rests, the Dodgers will start Ryan Ward, Andy Pages and Alex Call across the outfield.

Muncy (nose) will start at third base and bat fifth Saturday against the Angels, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Muncy was held out of the lineup for Friday's game after hurting his nose in a collision during Thursday's contest, but he'll be back in action Saturday. The 35-year-old has gone 6-for-27 with two home runs, three RBI and four runs scored across his last nine games.

The Brewers selected Rom's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

With Brian Fitzpatrick (elbow) becoming the third Brewers reliever to land on the injured list in the past two days, the team will turn to Rom to provide depth to its bullpen. The 26-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, but he's posted a 2.81 ERA and 1.19 WHIP to go with a 37:8 K:BB through 25.2 innings at Nashville this season.

The Brewers placed Fitzpatrick (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The results of Fitzpatrick's MRI are still unknown, though the Brewers have already determined that the 26-year-old lefty will need to spend time on the injured list. Drew Rom was selected from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move to fill the void in Milwaukee's bullpen.
