Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Dodgers optioned Casparius to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
The return of Blake Treinen (hip) from the IL will send Casparius back to the minor leagues after just three days in the bigs. The 25-year-old righty didn't appear in a game during his stint with the Dodgers, though he could still be a depth option down the stretch after posting a 3.54 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 56 frames with Oklahoma City.

Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Reinstated from injured list
Rotowire
The Dodgers reinstated Treinen (hip) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
Treinen landed on the injured list Aug. 5 due to left hip discomfort, and he'll now rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen after throwing one rehab inning at Double-A Tulsa, during which he struck out all three batters he faced. The 36-year-old righty owns a 2.67 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 30.1 frames on the year while working primarily in high-leverage situations. In a corresponding move, Ben Casparius was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Aiming for mid-September return
Rotowire
Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Yamamoto (triceps) is on track to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation sometime in mid-September, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Roberts noted that he was impressed with Yamamoto's stuff during his two-inning sim game Wednesday, and the team will stretch the right-hander out to three innings when he throws another sim game next week. Assuming everything goes smoothly, he will then head out on a minor-league rehab assignment to continue building up to a starter's workload.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Still not throwing
Rotowire
Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Glasnow (elbow) has yet to begin playing catch, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The Dodgers skipper added that Glasnow likely won't be activated once he's eligible to come off the injured list Aug. 31, but the team's concern is still relatively low. A clearer return timeline for the 30-year-old right-hander may emerge once he's able to begin a throwing program.

Dodgers' Miguel Rojas: Managing hamstring issue
Rotowire
Rojas was scratched from the Dodgers' lineup prior to Wednesday's game against the Mariners due to a hamstring flareup, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Manager Dave Roberts said the decision to take Rojas out of the lineup was precautionary, and he expects the 35-year-old shortstop to return to the lineup Friday following Thursday's scheduled off day. Tommy Edman will get the starting nod at shortstop while Rojas rests, opening up center field for Kevin Kiermaier to start and bat ninth.

Rotowire
Rojas was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus Seattle, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear exactly why Rojas was taken out of the starting nine, but the Dodgers should provide more information relatively soon. In the meantime, Tommy Edman will move to shortstop while Kevin Kiermaier starts in center field.

Dodgers' Yoshinobu Yamamoto: Set for second sim game Wednesday
Rotowire
Yamamoto (triceps) will throw a two-inning simulated game Wednesday, per MLB.com.
This will be Yamamoto's second sim game since landing on the injured list in mid-June. In his first, the Japanese hurler threw 17 pitches in St. Louis on Aug. 16. Yamamoto is expected to follow Wednesday's simulated game with a three-inning sim game before heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. He could return to the Dodgers' rotation in early September.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Closing in on 40-40 campaign
Rotowire
Ohtani went 2-for-5 with a triple and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-3 victory versus Seattle.
Ohtani laced a triple in the third inning and added a single in the eighth. Following his final hit, the slugger swiped second base for his 38th theft of the campaign. Ohtani also has 39 home runs through 124 games, so he appears to be a lock for the sixth 40-40 season in MLB history. He has a legitimate shot at MLB's first 50-50 campaign, as he's currently on pace for 50 homers and 48 thefts.

Dodgers' Jason Heyward: Swats clutch home run
Rotowire
Heyward went 1-for-1 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
Heyward was brought in as a pinch hitter in the eighth to face Andres Munoz and capitalized with a three-run laser over the short wall in right field. Heyward has been highly successful as a pinch hitter this season, going 4-for-8 with a pair of home runs. Tuesday's long ball was his first since July 21 and this marked his first multi-RBI performance since then as well. The 34-year-old is slashing .208/.289/.393 with six homers, 28 RBI, 25 runs, four steals and a 17:36 BB:K in 197 plate appearances this year.

Dodgers' Max Muncy: Homers again Tuesday
Rotowire
Muncy went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, two walks and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
Muncy has homered in both games since returning from a stint on the injured list with a right oblique strain, and he showcased his patient eye at the plate with two walks Tuesday night. The 33-year-old is hitting .228/.331/.510 with 11 homers, 31 RBI, 27 runs and a 23:51 BB:K in 175 plate appearances.

Dodgers' Gavin Lux: Homers again Tuesday
Rotowire
Lux went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Mariners.
Lux got the scoring started for the Dodgers in the fourth with a solo home run to center for his second home run in as many games. Lux has been one of the best hitters in baseball over the last month-plus. Since July 11, he's slashing .358/.423/.670 with eight homers, 24 RBI and 17 runs, and his 1.092 OPS leads the National League over that span. For the season, Lux is now slashing .254/.313/.400 with 10 homers, 45 RBI, 44 runs, four steals and a 29:85 BB:K in 387 plate appearances.

Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Picks up 10th save
Rotowire
Hudson got the save in Tuesday's win over the Mariners, allowing a hit over a scoreless inning.
He was staked a three-run lead after Jason Heyward put the Dodgers ahead in the eighth with a home run. Hudson was able to pick up his first save in eight days and posted just his second scoreless outing over his last six appearances. Michael Kopech and Evan Phillips have also picked up saves over the past week, signifying that the Dodgers' closer role is still more of a committee. Hudson owns a 2.61 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 50:12 K:BB in 51.2 innings to go along with 10 saves, 16 holds and six wins.

Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Another short outing Tuesday
Rotowire
Buehler did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's win over the Mariners, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out one over four innings.
Buehler struggled once again Tuesday and recorded his lowest strikeout total of the season. The Mariners got to him early with two runs in the first and another run in the third. One positive from the outing was that Buehler did not allow a home run, which is something he's done only one other time this season. The 29-year-old now sits at a 6.09 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 35:17 K:BB in 44.1 innings. Buehler's spot in the rotation is safe for now, but he could be at risk of being moved to the bullpen for the postseason. He lines up to make another start against the Orioles next week.

Dodgers' Brent Honeywell: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Honeywell cleared waivers Tuesday and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Despite turning in a 2.21 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 20.1 innings during his time with the Dodgers, Honeywell went unclaimed off waivers and will now serve as organizational bullpen depth in the minors.

Rojas started the previous five games and will receive a day off after going 7-for-17 with a double, two RBI and three runs during that stretch. Tommy Edman will shift to shortstop while Kevin Kiermaier starts in center field.

Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Rehab moved to Triple-A
Rotowire
Brogdon (foot) will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Brogdon began a rehab assignment at Single-A on Saturday, and after throwing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts, he'll proceed to Triple-A Oklahoma City. It's unclear how many rehab outings Brogdon will require before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Dodgers' Joe Kelly: Records 13th hold
Rotowire
Kelly picked up a hold against Seattle on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.
Kelly served as the bridge between starter Gavin Stone (who pitched seven scoreless innings) and Evan Phillips (who handled the ninth for a save). Though Kelly missed over two months from early May to mid-July due to a shoulder injury, he ranks second on the Dodgers with 13 holds. The right-hander has posted a 4.88 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB over 24 innings on the campaign.
