Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Out of lineup Saturday, as expected
Ohtani (bicep) isn't starting Saturday versus San Diego.
Ohtani was removed from Friday's matchup after completing six frames as a pitcher and after taking an at-bat as the DH in the bottom of the sixth inning. The superstar slugger said he felt something in his right bicep but suggested that the issue is probably minor. Nonetheless, manager Dave Roberts indicated after Friday's contest that Ohtani wouldn't play Saturday as a precaution, and the two-way star is indeed out of the lineup. In his stead, Andy Pages is getting a day off his feet and serving as Los Angeles' DH. It remains to be seen if Ohtani will be back in the lineup Sunday.

Dodgers' Eliezer Alfonzo: Slated for major-league promotion
The Dodgers are expected to promote Alfonzo from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The move has not been officially made, but the expectation is that Alfonzo will take Chuckie Robinson's spot on the Dodgers' 26 man roster prior to Saturday's game against the Padres, with the former serving as the team's backup catcher behind Dalton Rushing. Alfonzo has played well in Triple-A this season, slashing .313/.392/.422 with one home run and 16 RBI over 190 plate appearances. His first appearance for the Dodgers will officially mark his major-league debut.

Dodgers' Teoscar Hernandez: Lifts grand slam in win
Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's 4-3 win over the Padres.
Hernandez came up clutch in the seventh inning, and his grand slam was enough to give the Dodgers a win. He has gone just 3-for-16 with five RBI over four games since he returned from a hamstring strain. The veteran outfielder is now batting .269 with a .772 OPS, eight homers, 36 RBI, 33 runs scored, two stolen bases and eight doubles over 55 contests this season.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Locks down 12th save
Scott struck out the side in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-3 win over the Padres.
Scott got by on 18 pitches (12 strikes). He's earned six saves and a hold during his active eight-inning scoreless streak, and he has a 13:0 K:BB with one hit batsman in that span. The left-hander is at a 2.02 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 45:3 K:BB through 35.2 innings this season while adding 12 saves and six holds. Scott's save chances will likely decrease once Edwin Diaz (elbow) returns, which is expected to happen later in the month, but Scott will continue to see plenty of high-leverage innings.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Battling bicep issue
Ohtani was removed from Friday's game against the Padres due to a bicep injury, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Ohtani said after the game that he became concerned about his bicep after his final at-bat in the sixth inning, but he noted that what he felt was similar to an injury he dealt with a couple of months ago that subsided relatively quickly. Although his injury is believed to be minor, manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Ohtani will not play Saturday as a precaution, per Harris. The two-way star gave up three earned runs on seven hits and two walks in six innings on the mound Friday and went 0-for-3 as a hitter.

Dodgers' Will Smith: Resumes hitting, throwing
Manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Smith (neck) began hitting in the cages Thursday and has also begun throwing, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Smith has been on the injured list since June 11 with neck inflammation and isn't expected to return before the All-Star break, but his return to hitting and throwing are both good signs that he's finally starting to turn a corner in his recovery. He will almost certainly require a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the active roster.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Idle Friday
Edman isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against San Diego, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Edman will move to the bench to begin Friday's contest after going 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win. While he sits, Alex Freeland will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

Dodgers' Jake Eder: Shelved at Triple-A
Triple-A Oklahoma City placed Eder on its 7-day injured list Wednesday due to an unspecified injury.
Eder hasn't made an appearance at the big-league level since May 2. The left-hander has spent most of the campaign at Oklahoma City, turning in a 4.29 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB over 21 innings.

Dodgers' Tyler Fitzgerald: Returns from injury
Fitzgerald (undisclosed) re-signed with the Dodgers on a minor-league deal June 14 and was reinstated to Triple-A Oklahoma City's roster June 24.
Acquired by the Dodgers in a trade with the Blue Jays on April 28, Fitzgerald produced a 1.027 OPS in 23 games with Oklahoma City before hitting the 7-day injured list June 4 due to an unspecified issue. The Dodgers released him shortly thereafter, but he quickly re-signed with the organization. After getting more time off to recover, Fitzgerald made his return to the lineup Thursday, going 0-for-3 while reaching base on a hit-by-pitch.

Dodgers' Jonathan Hernandez: Outrighted to Triple-A
The Dodgers outrighted Hernandez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.
Having been previously outrighted, Hernandez has the ability to elect free agency. The righty reliever posted an 8.15 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB through 17.2 innings with the Dodgers.

Dodgers' Dalton Rushing: Reaches four times Thursday
Rushing went 4-for-4 with a home run, a double, three total runs and four total RBI against San Diego in a 12-7 victory Thursday.
Los Angeles fell behind 6-0 before Rushing kicked off a comeback with a two-run homer to center field in the second inning. The young backstop added a sacrifice fly in the sixth frame and an RBI single in the eighth to round out his third four-hit performance of the campaign. Rushing has been holding down the fort behind the plate since Will Smith (neck) last played June 5. Over 20 contests in Smith's absence, Rushing is batting .258 with three homers, five doubles, 11 runs and 11 RBI.

Dodgers' Kyle Tucker: Perfect at plate again Thursday
Tucker went 4-for-4 with a double, a walk, three runs and an RBI in a 12-7 win against the Padres on Thursday.
Tucker had an unconventional line against the Athletics on Wednesday, when he walked in all four of his plate appearances. The veteran outfielder reached base in each of his trips to the plate again Thursday, though this time he put up a more fantasy-friendly line with a season-high four hits. Tucker has gotten on base in nine straight plate appearances, improving his season OPS from .714 to .743 in just two days. He's still been a disappointment overall from a fantasy perspective given his typically lofty acquisition cost, but Tucker has found his groove at the plate over the past six games, going 10-for-21 with seven walks, a double, a homer, five RBI and six runs.

Dodgers' Roki Sasaki: Another rough outing Thursday
Sasaki allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three batters over three innings in a no-decision against San Diego on Thursday.
Sasaki's outing began ominously when the first batter he faced, Fernando Tatis, rocked him for a 116-mph double. That proved to be a precursor for what was to come, as the Padres pounded him for seven extra-base hits, including three homers. Manager Dave Roberts finally pulled the plug on Sasaki after three frames and a whopping 88 pitches. Sasaki was fortunate to escape with a no-decision since the Dodgers' offense exploded for 12 runs, but it was unquestionably a troubling outing by the Japanese hurler, who has now given up 19 runs over his past four starts spanning 17 innings. After the game, Roberts said that Sasaki will make his next start but indicated that the team will do a "deep dive" into the pitcher to determine what went wrong, which will include trying to determine if he was tipping his pitches, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: In updated lineup Thursday
Edman is slotted as starting at second base and batting ninth in Thursday's updated lineup versus the Padres, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.
The initial lineup card for the Dodgers had Alex Freeland starting at second and batting ninth. It appears the lineup with Edman starting was put out as a correction and not a late scratch for Freeland.

Dodgers' Tommy Edman: Getting rest Thursday
Edman isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Edman will get a breather Thursday after going 4-for-8 with a homer, four RBI and two runs scored during Los Angeles' last series against the A's. Alex Freeland will start at second base and bat ninth while Edman sits.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Starting Thursday
Betts (wrist) will start at shortstop and bat fourth Thursday against the Padres, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.
Betts was a late scratch from the lineup for Wednesday's game due to wrist soreness, but it no longer seems to be bothering him ahead of Thursday's series opener. The 33-year-old is currently enjoying a seven-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 13-for-32 (.406) with three homers, nine RBI and five runs scored.
