Roupp (7-9) allowed four runs on four hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out one over 3.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Brewers.

Roupp was fine the first time through the order, but he ran into trouble in the third and fourth innings. The right-hander still pitched better in July than he did in June, allowing seven runs over 24.2 innings with a 15:8 K:BB this month. On the year, he has a 4.12 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 114:48 K:BB through 21 starts. Roupp's next start is projected to be at San Diego over the weekend.

Pratt went 1-for-4 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.

Pratt has gone 10-for-24 (.417) with three steals over his last seven games. The shortstop has had little trouble adjusting to the majors, batting .283 with a .759 OPS across his first 34 big-league games. He's added nine steals, two home runs, 14 RBI, 17 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 124 plate appearances.

Turang went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.

This was Turang's first multi-RBI game since the All-Star break. He has gone 11-for-37 (.297) with three extra-base hits in his last 11 contests, though he hasn't logged a steal since July 9 versus the Cardinals. The second baseman is batting .269 with an .825 OPS, 15 home runs, 15 steals, 64 RBI, 70 runs scored, 25 doubles and three triples over 101 contests this season.

Lara went 1-for-4 with a triple, a walk, three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Giants.

Lara did a bit of everything in this contest, including showing off some speed. He's gotten on base multiple times in three of his last four games. Through his first 15 major-league games, the outfield prospect is batting .289 with four doubles, one triple, 10 RBI, six runs scored and two steals. He's still looking for his first home run, but he profiled as more of a contact hitter during his time in the minors. Lara is likely to see more time in right field while Jake Bauers is managing pain from a toe fracture.

Henderson (5-1) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Henderson has allowed just six runs over 21 innings with a 24:3 K:BB over four starts since he returned from a back strain. Hew threw 64 of 93 pitches for strikes in this outing, which was his second scoreless performance of the year. The right-hander has a 2.66 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 54:9 K:BB through 44 innings over nine starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Pirates.

Rushing went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.

After an 0-for-19 skid over nine games between July 7-21, Rushing has gone 7-for-17 (.412) over his last five contests. The catcher still has some runway as the Dodgers' starter behind the dish, as Will Smith (neck) is just starting to resume baseball activities. Rushing is batting .256 with an .813 OPS, 11 home runs, 33 RBI, 35 runs scored, 12 doubles and no stolen bases over 71 games this season.

Muncy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.

Muncy had gone 0-for-7 with a walk and five strikeouts over his previous two games. He bounced back in this contest, swatting a fifth-inning homer before adding a steal as the Dodgers rallied in the ninth. The third baseman has 21 homers on the season, including four over nine contests since the All-Star break. He's batting .256 with an .858 OPS, 49 RBI, 59 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and two steals over 98 games.

Ohtani went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and three total RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mariners.

Ohtani had been a little quiet lately, going nine games without a homer after the All-Star break. He changed that tune early Tuesday with a solo shot off Luis Castillo to lead off the Dodgers' half of the first inning. Ohtani is now batting .286 with a .924 OPS, 23 homers, 64 RBI, 67 runs scored, 20 doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 102 contests. He's still battling a knee injury that is keeping him off the mound, and it's safe to assume he won't be pushing too hard with speed while the knee is a concern.

Wrobleski allowed five runs on seven hits and a hit batsman while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Tuesday.

Wrobleski was done in by the long ball Tuesday, giving up four homers that accounted for all five runs against him. He has allowed multiple homers just three times all season, and he had given up a total of four long balls across his previous seven starts combined. Consider this outing an anomaly for now -- Wrobleski's performance this season has earned him the benefit of the doubt. He's at a 2.88 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 87:21 K:BB through 112.2 innings over 18 games (17 starts). The southpaw is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Red Sox over the weekend.

Rodriguez went 1-for-6 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

Rodriguez returned from the injured list Monday, but Tuesday marked his first start. He contributed to a late rally with an RBI single in the eighth inning, though he also struck out three times. While Henry Davis will still get some starts, Rodriguez is likely to return to his role as Pittsburgh's primary catcher moving forward.
