The Dodgers optioned Fernandez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Fernandez gave up two earned runs in two innings Monday during his first MLB appearance since 2021. He'll now be sent back to Triple-A after just a day with the big-league club, though he will keep a spot on the Dodgers' 40-man roster. Alexis Diaz was recalled from Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Dodgers' Alexis Diaz: Up from OKC
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Diaz from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Diaz hasn't shed his early-season struggles since being acquired by the Dodgers in May, giving up five earned runs in only 4.2 innings at Triple-A. Despite his performance, he'll grab a spot in Los Angeles' bullpen to work as a low-leverage option, replacing Julian Fernandez.

Dodgers' Alexis Diaz: Poised for Dodgers debut
Rotowire
The Dodgers are expected to call up Diaz from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brewers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The former Reds closer was acquired by the Dodgers in late May and has made just six appearances for Oklahoma City since being traded, giving up five earned runs with a 3:7 K:BB over 4.2 innings. Diaz should fill a low-leverage role early on for the Dodgers but could work his way into higher-leverage spots. However, the 28-year-old's recent body of work at Triple-A doesn't provide much evidence that he's rediscovered his All-Star form.
Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Chased in first inning
Rotowire
Yamamoto (8-7) took the loss Monday against Milwaukee, allowing five runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks with no strikeouts over two-thirds of an inning.
Yamamoto retired two of the first four batters he faced before allowing a three-run homer to Andrew Vaughn, a single to Isaac Collins and a walk to Brice Turang. It seemed Yamamoto would get out of the inning without another run scoring, but a throwing error by Mookie Betts extended the inning. Manager Dave Roberts elected to remove Yamamoto after 41 pitches, marking the right-hander's shortest start in his two-year MLB career. In his last six outings, Yamamoto owns a 3.64 ERA and a 32:11 K:BB across 29.2 innings. He'll look to get back on track against the Giants this weekend.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Starting Wednesday in Milwaukee
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Glasnow (shoulder) will rejoin the rotation Wednesday in Milwaukee, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Roberts had previously said Glasnow would be back sometime this week, and now he's revealed the exact day. The right-hander has been sidelined for more than two months with a shoulder injury and did not pitch well in three rehab starts, posting an 8.31 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB in 8.2 innings. Glasnow went 4.1 frames and threw 78 pitches in his last rehab outing, so he will be on a somewhat restricted pitch count Wednesday.

Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Aiming to return Wednesday
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Robert said Hernandez (foot) could be available off the bench Monday and Tuesday in Milwaukee before potentially returning to the lineup Wednesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Hernandez had been set to undergo imaging after fouling a pitch off his left foot Saturday versus the Astros. Those tests evidently came back negative, and Hernandez appears in line to avoid the injured list. The Dodgers do have an off day Thursday, so it's possible they'll hold Hernandez back until their series this weekend in San Francisco.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Could return to lineup Wednesday
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Edman (toe) could be available off the bench Monday and Tuesday in Milwaukee before possibly returning to the lineup Wednesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Edman will miss a second straight start Monday as he deals with a right pinkie toe injury, but it sounds like he's feeling better and his absence will be brief. When Edman returns to the lineup, he's expected to serve as the Dodgers' everyday third baseman while Max Muncy (knee) is shelved. Miguel Rojas is handling third base Monday.

Dodgers' CJ Alexander: Booted from 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Dodgers designated Alexander for assignment Monday.
Alexander was just claimed off waivers last week and will now go through the waivers process again. The 28-year-old has spent most of this season at the Triple-A level, slashing .236/.335/.429 between three organizations.
The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
Wrobleski struggled as a bulk reliever Saturday against the Astros, permitting five runs (four earned) over 4.2 innings while notching six strikeouts. The lefty had pitched well in June with a 2.73 ERA and 26:6 K:BB over 26.1 frames, but with Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) poised to return later this week, Wrobleski will head to Oklahoma City for now.

Dodgers' Julian Fernandez: Added to roster
Rotowire
The Dodgers selected Fernandez's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
Fernandez has posted a 4.08 ERA and 32:10 K:BB over 28.2 inning this season with Oklahoma City. If the 29-year-old gets into a game, it would be his first at the big-league level since 2021.

Dodgers' James Outman: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers recalled Outman from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.
The Dodgers have some banged up outfielders, so Outman will provide depth in that area in the final week before the All-Star break. Outman has gone 3-for-24 with two home runs during his brief time in the majors this season.

Dodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Placed on 10-day injured list
Rotowire
The Dodgers placed Hernandez on the 10-day injured list Monday with left elbow inflammation.
Manager Dave Roberts said it's an injury Hernandez has dealt with for about a month, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Because the injury is to his non-throwing elbow, Hernandez would seem to have a good chance to return when first eligible at the start of the second half.
