Overview

  • Hyeseong Kim was placed on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder bursitis as Tommy Edmen remains day-to-day with an ankle flare-up and Max Muncy rehabs a knee bone bruise.
  • Alex Freeland, a third-round pick in 2022 and MLB Pipeline’s No. 3 Dodgers prospect, officially joined the active roster and will make his Major League debut in Cincinnati.
  • At Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, Freeland hit .253 with a .799 OPS, totaled 12 home runs and 71 RBIs, and led the Pacific Coast League with 75 walks in 94 games.
  • The switch-hitting infielder brings defensive versatility after logging 67 games at shortstop, 26 at third base and one at second base in Triple-A.
  • Los Angeles has gone 6–13 since June 29, sits at 61–45 overall and is weighing internal depth moves alongside trade-deadline plans before July 31.
