Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-1 win over Atlanta.
Freeman tacked a third run onto Chris Sale's line when he went deep in the sixth inning. Steady Freddie hasn't been held hitless in May, going 10-for-28 (.357) with five RBI over seven games this month. For the season, the first baseman is batting .278 with a .786 OPS, four homers, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored, 10 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 36 contests. He's locked into a starting role at first base.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Logs third save
Rotowire
Scott struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-1 win over Atlanta.
Scott has allowed just two hits and one walk while striking out seven over his last five innings. The Dodgers aren't generating a ton of save chances for him, but he has pitched well enough to maintain his hold on a share of ninth-inning duties while Edwin Diaz (elbow) is out. Scott has pitched to a 1.65 ERA, 0.61 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB across 16.1 innings while adding three saves and four holds. Alex Vesia is also in the mix for saves, but he was utilized to put out a fire in the fifth inning Friday.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Comes up one out short of win
Rotowire
Sheehan allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out seven over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Friday.
Sheehan pitched well but got into a jam in the fifth inning. He was pulled at 88 pitches (64 strikes), and Alex Vesia was able to escape the trouble with no damage done. Sheehan has fallen short of the five-inning mark in consecutive starts, and he's gone four outings without a win despite allowing a modest eight runs across 20.2 innings in that span. For the season, he's at a 4.79 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 43:10 K:BB through 35.2 innings across seven starts. As long as the walk rate stays down, Sheehan should continue to improve. His next start is tentatively projected to be at home versus the Giants.
The Dodgers recalled Gervase from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
After posting a 3.65 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 12.1 innings in Triple-A, Gervase will get the call to return to Los Angeles as the roster replacement for Tyler Glasnow (back). Gervase surrendered four earned runs in 8.1 big-league innings between Tampa Bay and Los Angeles last season, and he'll likely be limited to middle-relief duties while with the Dodgers.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Dodgers placed Glasnow on the 15-day injured list Friday with lower-back spasms.
Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that MRI results on Glasnow's back didn't reveal anything significant, per Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times, but the Dodgers will send him to the injured list to be safe. Paul Gervase was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move to give Los Angeles some extra bullpen depth, and Roki Sasaki figures to stick in the Dodgers' six-man rotation for the foreseeable future even with Blake Snell (shoulder) returning this weekend.

Dodgers' Alex Freeland: Out of lineup Friday
Rotowire
Freeland isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.
Freeland has gone 5-for-14 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored since the beginning of May, but the Dodgers will keep him on the bench to begin Friday's series opener. Santiago Espinal will get the nod at second base and bat ninth.

Dodgers' Blake Snell: Slated for season debut Saturday
Rotowire
Snell (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday to make his season debut for the Dodgers against Atlanta, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Snell had been scheduled for one more rehab outing, but the Dodgers have elected to bring him back early. The left-hander threw only 55 pitches over four innings in his third and final rehab start, so he will be working with a limited pitch count Saturday. Snell is coming back from left shoulder fatigue, which had bothered him since last season. He allowed four runs (three earned) with a 10:2 K:BB over eight innings in three rehab outings.
Betts (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.
Betts landed on the injured list April 5 due to a strained right oblique, and his time on the shelf was slightly extended due to a setback he suffered in late April. He was cleared to play in a sim game Thursday and is now ready to test his oblique in a competitive setting. The Comets confirmed that the eight-time All-Star will play for them Friday and Saturday, leaving the door open for him to return to the Dodgers' lineup by the end of their weekend series against Atlanta. Otherwise, he could be activated ahead of Los Angeles' four-game series versus San Francisco.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Ends hitless stretch at plate
Rotowire
Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base Wednesday in a 12-2 rout of the Astros.
Ohtani entered the game having gone 0-for-17 across his previous five contests. He struck out in his first plate appearance to extend that cold spell to 0-for-18 -- one shy of his career-worst 0-for-19 stretch -- before hitting a double in the third inning. Ohtani subsequently scored on a wild pitch, and he reached twice more before the end of the contest. The two-way star has been uncharacteristically quiet at the dish so far this season, slashing .248/.389/.442 with just six home runs and 15 RBI along with a more productive 25 runs scored and five stolen bases across 162 plate appearances. On the flip side, he's been outstanding on the mound, producing an MLB-best 0.97 ERA with an 0.81 WHIP (ranked second in the league) and a 42:9 K:BB over 37 innings spanning six starts.
Dodgers' Andy Pages: Powers rout with three homers
Rotowire
Pages went 3-for-5 with three home runs and six RBI in Wednesday's 12-2 win over the Astros.
The Dodgers lost starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow after just one inning to back spasms, but Pages and the offense made sure the bullpen's job wasn't too difficult. The center fielder launched a three-run homer off Lance McCullers in the third inning, a two-run blast against Jason Alexander in the fifth and completed the hat trick with a solo shot off position player Cesar Salazar in the ninth. The eruption snapped a 20-game power drought for Pages, but on the season he's still slashing .336/.376/.569 with eight home runs, six steals, 22 runs and 33 RBI through 37 contests.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Downplays early exit from start
Rotowire
Glasnow said that he doesn't believe the lower-back pain that forced him out of his start in Wednesday's 12-2 win over the Astros isn't anything too serious, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Glasnow said that his back "gave out" during a warm-up throw before the second inning, and he didn't feel much better on his next attempt to throw before the Dodgers removed him from the game. He worked one inning prior to his departure, striking out two batters while allowing one earned run on one hit. Glasnow spent time on the injured list in 2024 due to back spasms, and he'll get an MRI to determine whether he'll need a stint on the IL, per Ardaya. For now, Glasnow can be viewed as day-to-day ahead of his next start, which is tentatively set for Wednesday versus the Giants in Los Angeles.
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Exits start with back injury
Rotowire
Glasnow was removed from Wednesday's start in Houston after just one inning with lower-back pain, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
After allowing one run in the first inning, Glasnow felt something in his back on a warm-up pitch before the second. He was visited by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and the trainer and then walked off the field after a brief conversation. Glasnow is tentatively slated to face the Giants at home next week, but it's too soon to say whether he has a chance to make that start.

Dodgers' Jake Eder: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Dodgers optioned Eder to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
He's clearing out to make room on the roster and in the bullpen for the return of Brock Stewart (shoulder) from the injured list. Eder has yielded one run with a 1:1 K:BB over four innings during his time with the Dodgers this season.

Dodgers' Brock Stewart: Ready for 2026 debut
Rotowire
The Dodgers reinstated Stewart (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Los Angeles optioned left-hander Jake Eder to Triple-A Oklahoma City to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Stewart, who has been given the green light to join the big club for the first time in 2026 after completing his recovery from the right shoulder debridement procedure he required last September. Stewart recently wrapped up an impressive eight-appearance rehab assignment between Single-A Ontario and Triple-A Oklahoma City during which he struck out 13 batters and allowed four hits and three walks over 6.1 scoreless innings. The Dodgers may start him out with some lower-leverage appearances out of the bullpen, but Stewart could quickly work his way into the setup mix.
