Dodgers Notes: All-Star to IL, Major Rotation Shakeup, Dalton Rushing Warned

The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves, 3-1, on Friday evening to improve to 24-14 on the year.

Emmet Sheehan battled through 4.2 innings of one-run ball, and then handed it off to a bullpen that pitched 4.1 scoreless innings.

On the offensive side of things, the Dodgers scored their first run on a Kyle Tucker RBI double in the bottom of the second inning. They added a second on a Shohei Ohtani RBI single in the bottom of the fifth inning. And then, in the sixth, Freddie Freeman hit the 100th home run of his Dodgers career to give the Dodgers an insurance run.

Ahead of the eventual victory, the Dodgers placed All-Star starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow on the injured list. The move is unfortunately a familiar one for the Dodgers pitching staff in past seasons, but luckily, a two-time Cy Young award winner in Blake Snell was waiting in the wings to make his return to the mound.

With Snell set to make his 2026 debut on Saturday (on his bobblehead giveaway night, nonetheless), the Dodgers shook up the rotation, pushing Roki Sasaki back a couple days.

Finally, backstop Dalton Rushing received a warning from Chicago Cubs catcher Miguel Amaya after a recent comment that Rushing made.

“If stuff like this keeps going and continues," Amaya said to The Athletic, "wherever we face each other again, and if he keeps saying stuff, we’ve got to put a stop to it."

One of the veteran leaders of the Dodgers in Miguel Rojas defended Rushing's character.

“Seventy, eighty percent of the players out there are saying things, but they’re not getting caught on camera often,” Rojas said. “We don’t want to really make a big deal out of him, because that’s not the guy that we’re seeing every single day inside the locker room."
