Overview

  • Tyler Glasnow rebounded from over two months out with shoulder inflammation to deliver seven innings of one-run, three-hit, seven-strikeout ball in Monday’s 3-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
  • The Dodgers have gone 5-5 over their last ten games and their lineup has fallen to 23rd in MLB in runs scored since July 1.
  • All-Star Mookie Betts has struggled through 103 games, posting a .657 OPS that reflects broader inconsistencies in the Dodgers’ offense.
  • Manager Dave Roberts said Glasnow’s leadership and the depth of the starting rotation remain pivotal to Los Angeles’s pursuit of a second straight World Series title.
  • The front office made modest additions at the trade deadline, adding reliever Brock Stewart and outfielder Alex Call, and continues to lean on roster depth and organic clubhouse communication for a late-season surge.
