Dodgers Notes: LA Makes Roster Move, Difficult Decision Looms, Major Trade Prediction

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Atlanta Braves, 7-2, on Sunday afternoon and fell to 24-16 on the year. After a walk-off victory for the San Diego Padres on Sunday, the two teams are now tied for the top spot in the National League West.

As the score may suggest, the offense was once again a no-show for the Dodgers, who scored just seven total runs against the Braves during the three-game series. The only offense came from Max Muncy, who launched a towering 420-foot home run to drive in a pair of runs in the eighth. However, at that point, LA was already down 5-0.

Left-hander Justin Wrobleski was one out away from tossing what would have been a historic complete game, as he allowed seven earned runs on seven hits while striking out seven. He was charged with his first loss of the year, and his ERA rose to 2.42 on the season.

Ahead of the eventual defeat, the Dodgers made a roster move, selecting the contract of right-handed pitcher Wyatt Mills. Fellow right-hander Paul Gervase was optioned as a result, and in order to make the space on the 40-man roster, All-Star closer Edwin Díaz was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

Mills got the final out of Sunday's game, but not before giving up two hits and allowing an inherited runner to score.

In other news, manager Dave Roberts spoke about the difficult roster decision that looms as superstar Mookie Betts gets set to return on Monday.

The Dodgers are deciding between optioning Hyeseong Kim or Alex Freeland to Triple-A, or designating Santiago Espinal for assignment.

Finally, a trade prediction has been made by a notable MLB insider that would have the defending champions part ways with a beloved outfielder that they acquired ahead of last season's deadline. Since the Dodgers have a spoil of riches headlining their deep roster, his talents are seen strictly as a platoon player in 2026, and if he did get shipped to another team, it would come with a major boost in playing time.

We mourn the passing of René Cárdenas, who in 1958 with the Dodgers became the first full-time Spanish-language broadcaster in MLB history and would ultimately spend 21 years behind the mic for Los Angeles. We send our condolences to his loved ones.

Dave Roberts says he’s still undecided where Mookie Betts will hit, but that it will likely be either second behind Ohtani or in the three spot where he started the year, per @FabianArdaya.

Dave Roberts on Teoscar Hernández’s struggles this season, per @FabianArdaya:

“He’s certainly missing pitches that he should hit. He’s fouling them off, whether they’re spin or fastballs. I think he’s a little too passive at times, getting behind a lot early.”
