The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, 5-3, on Wednesday to fall to 66-49 on the year.
After the game, it was reported by Casey Porter of Dodgers Daily that the Dodgers were bringing up minor league outfielder Justin Dean. The Dodgers are off on Thursday, so they wouldn’t have to make any move official until Friday.
In other news, rookie phenom Roki Sasaki recently broke his three-month silence on how his shoulder recovery has been. The right-hander will pitch three simulated innings on Friday as he trends closer to a rehab assignment.
Additionally, superstar Mookie Betts’ new spot in the batting order has been decided. Manager Dave Roberts spoke on what spot he believes will best suit his shortstop.
Finally, former Dodgers right-hander Dustin May claimed he was “pushed out” of LA ahead of his trade to the Boston Red Sox at the deadline. The former Dodgers third-round pick in the 2016 MLB Draft had an ERA of 4.85 entering his first start on his new team, where he allowed three runs over 3.2 innings of work.
