Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Bounces back in no-decision
Rotowire
Glasnow did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Cubs, pitching six innings while allowing two runs on three hits and a walk. He struck out seven.
After yielding five runs over two innings in his previous outing, Glasnow looked much sharper in this 98-pitch effort but generated a middling seven whiffs. The two blemishes on the right-hander's evening were a pair of solo shots -- one by Pete Crow-Armstrong in the third, the other by Michael Busch in the sixth. Through 13 innings, Glasnow's ERA now stands at 4.85 and is paired with a 17:9 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Rangers on the road next weekend.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Planned day off
Rotowire
Freeman is receiving a planned day off Sunday against the Cubs, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Freeman will get a breather as the Dodgers wrap their series with Chicago. Manager Dave Roberts explained that the team didn't want the first baseman playing the entire six-game homestand without any rest, resulting in Freeman's absence from Sunday's lineup. Freeman will likely be back in action Monday for the team's series opener versus the Rockies at home.

Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Drawing rare start Sunday
Rotowire
Rojas will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cubs.
With Andy Pages getting the day off and Tommy Edman filling in as the Dodgers' starting center fielder, Rojas will draw into the lineup for the ninth time in 17 games on the season, covering Edman's usual spot at the keystone. Three of Rojas' starts came during the first three games of the season when Mookie Betts was battling an illness, but Rojas' playing time will likely be more sporadic now that Los Angeles is at full strength in both the infield and outfield.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Out of Sunday's lineup
Rotowire
Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Freeman returned from the 10-day injured list Friday, and in his first two games back in action, he went 1-for-6 with one run scored and three strikeouts. The Dodgers haven't indicated that Freeman is dealing with any setbacks with his surgically repaired right ankle, so his absence from the lineup Sunday is presumably a rest day. Enrique Hernandez will step in for Freeman at first base and will bat eighth.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Pages is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Pages went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. He'll begin Sunday's contest in the dugout while Tommy Edman shifts to center field and Miguel Rojas starts at second base.
Dodgers' Roki Sasaki: Shows improvement again Saturday
Rotowire
Sasaki (0-1) took the loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five innings.
Sasaki continues to be a work in progress, and his stat line would have looked a lot different had center fielder Andy Pages not brought back what looked to be a grand slam off the bat of Michael Busch in the third inning. Still, Saturday was another step forward for the young hurler, as he completed five frames for the first time in his big-league career. Sasaki also showed much better control than he did earlier in the campaign, as he threw 50 of his 81 pitches for strikes. The right-hander's 12:13 K:BB through 13.2 frames remains ugly, but Sasaki has at least been better with a 7:4 K:BB across his past two starts. Despite his inconsistencies so far, Sasaki has managed a 3.29 ERA, and Los Angeles appears comfortable letting him work through his growing pains with the big club rather than in the minors.
Smith is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Saturday.
Austin Barnes will start behind home plate and bat in the ninth spot against Cubs right-hander Ben Brown. Smith has gone 3-for-17 with three walks, two RBI and seven strikeouts over his last five games.
Edman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.
The 29-year-old utility player accounted for all of the game's offense in the sixth inning when he drove a Matthew Boyd changeup over the left-field fence, a no-doubt homer that traveled 423 feet. Edman is improbably tied with Aaron Judge, Kyle Schwarber, Mike Trout and Tyler Soderstrom for the major-league lead with six long balls, and while he can't be expected to maintain that pace all season, he also appears to be a completely different hitter than he was earlier in his career with the Cardinals. Dating back to last season, Edman has gone yard 12 times in his first 52 regular-season games as a Dodger, and so far in 2025 he sports an 84th percentile barrel rate, 89th percentile average exit velocity and 91st percentile hard-hit rate.

Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Picks up forth save
Rotowire
Scott worked a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 3-0 win over the Cubs.
The southpaw fired 12 of 16 pitches for strikes as he delivered his fourth straight scoreless appearance to begin the month of April. Scott has some bumpy performances in March, but he appears to be settling in as the Dodgers' primary closing option, although there have been plenty of chances to go around. Blake Treinen, who worked the eighth inning Friday, also has two saves, and Alex Vesia picked one up when the Dodgers opened their campaign in Tokyo.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Fans nine in Friday's win
Rotowire
Yamamoto (2-1) picked up the win Friday, scattering two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory over the Cubs. He struck out nine.
The right-hander continued his dominant beginning to 2025, delivering his second straight quality start without allowing an earned run. Yamamoto got stretched out to 103 pitches (64 strikes) in this one, racking up an impressive 33 called or swinging strikes along the way, and so far the Dodgers' plan to limit his workload to one start a week appears to be paying off. Through four outings, Yamamoto sports a 1.23 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB, and he'll look to keep rolling when he takes the bump for his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend against the Rangers.
Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Making rehab start Wednesday
Rotowire
Kershaw (toe/knee) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Kershaw isn't eligible to return from the injured list until May 17, but the fact that he's already been cleared to begin a rehab assignment is an encouraging sign that he may be able to return around then. While the Dodgers have a great deal of rotation depth, the 37-year-old lefty still figures to have a starting role once healthy.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Sitting vs. southpaw
Rotowire
Muncy is not in the Dodgers' starting lineup against the Cubs on Friday, Noah Camras of DodgersNation.com reports.
With the Cubs sending left-hander Matthew Boyd to the mound, Muncy will begin Friday's game in the dugout while Miguel Rojas starts at third base and bats ninth. Muncy has gone 6-for-25 with three doubles, two RBI and 11 strikeouts since the beginning of April.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Returns from IL
Rotowire
The Dodgers reinstated Freeman (ankle) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
Freeman has been sidelined since March 31 after slipping in the shower and tweaking his surgically repaired right ankle, but he'll now return to the Dodgers' lineup after a minimum-length IL stint. Prior to his injury, the star first baseman had gone 3-for-12 with two home runs and four RBI in three games.

Dodgers' Bobby Miller: Candidate for spot start
Rotowire
The Dodgers may consider calling up Miller to fill a void in the rotation next week, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
With Blake Snell (shoulder) landing on the injured list Sunday and both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki on a once-per-week pitching schedule, Los Angeles is likely to need fill-in pitchers next Tuesday and Wednesday against Colorado at the tail end of a stretch of six games in six days. The team has recently given big-league starts to both Landon Knack and Justin Wrobleski, but they struggled mightily in their outings. The Dodgers could go back to one or both of those hurlers or go with a bullpen game, but Miller is also a possibility for a call-up. He's had success in the big leagues in the past, logging a 3.76 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 22 regular-season starts in 2023. The righty lost his rotation spot last year after struggling to an 8.52 ERA over 56 regular-season innings, and with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season he's allowed three earned runs with a 7:8 K:BB over 9.2 frames. After Wednesday, Los Angeles has just five games over the following eight days, so the team's need for spot starters will be less urgent. In the longer term, there may not be room for Miller in the Dodgers' rotation -- Snell is eyeing a short-term stay on the IL, Tony Gonsolin (back) may need just two or three more rehab starts before he's ready to be activated, and Shohei Ohtani (elbow) could begin pitching in games some time in May.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Needs more rehab starts
Rotowire
Gonsolin (back) will need at least two more rehab outings to ramp up to five or six innings, MLB.com reports. He threw 3.1 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts in his second rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
The Dodgers have openings in the starting rotation with Blake Snell (shoulder) on the injured list and Justin Wrobleski sent to the minors after his last poor outing. However, it doesn't look like Gonsolin is an option in the next week. Gonsolin began the season on the injured list due to a back injury he suffered in mid-March.

Dodgers' Hunter Feduccia: Headed back to minors
Rotowire
Feduccia was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Feduccia was recalled to take the roster spot of Freddie Freeman (ankle), but he's logged only three plate appearances since March 4. Feduccia will be optioned to create space for Freeman to return Friday.
