Rotowire
Pages went 2-for-5 with one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Pages extended his hitting streak to eight games, a span in which he's gone 12-for-36 (.333) with six RBI and two steals. The outfielder is handling a full-time role in right field currently, covering for the injured Teoscar Hernandez (groin). Pages started the year slowly but is up to a .286/.342/.471 slash line with six homers, five steals, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored, six doubles and a triple through 38 contests this season. He's logged multiple hits in nine of his last 18 games while going hitless just twice in that span.

Rotowire
Betts went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Dodgers' Freddie Freeman: Dialed in during Sunday's win
Rotowire
Freeman went 4-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Freeman supplied an RBI double in the first inning, a sacrifice fly in the fifth and a solo homer in the seventh. This was his bounce-back effort after seeing his 14-game hitting streak end with an 0-for-4 performance Saturday. During that streak, the first baseman his .472 (25-for-53) with nine extra-base hits and 19 RBI. For the season, he's at a superb .376/.437/.734 slash line with nine homers, 33 RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles and one triple over 30 contests, though he's 0-for-1 on stolen base attempts.

Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Tosses five scoreless frames
Rotowire
Gonsolin (2-0) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out four over five scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday over the Diamondbacks.
Gonsolin landed just 48 of 84 pitches for strikes but still put together a strong start. It was his first scoreless outing in 2025, and he's now at a 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB across 16 innings through three starts. Gonsolin is providing quality innings for a Dodger rotation that's been battered by injuries in the early going. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Angels.

Dodgers' Blake Snell: Not yet throwing
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Snell is still dealing with some discomfort in his left shoulder and wasn't able to resume playing catch Sunday as planned, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Snell appears to be stuck in a holding pattern in his recovery from left shoulder inflammation, which has kept him on the injured list since April 6. He had been able to resume throwing bullpen sessions less than two weeks after being shelved with the injury, but he experienced a setback in late April and received an injection in his shoulder to aid in his recovery. The injection doesn't appear to have resolved Snell's shoulder discomfort as quickly as anticipated, and the lefty is now set to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday before the Dodgers determine his next steps. Even if he receives a positive evaluation from Dr. ElAttrache, Snell would still seem to be multiple weeks away from returning from the IL.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Begins playing catch
Rotowire
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Sunday that Glasnow (shoulder) resumed playing catch. Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
After landing on the 15-day injured list April 28 due to right shoulder inflammation, Glasnow was shut down for just over a week and a half before he was cleared to begin a throwing program. Glasnow has a checkup with Dr. Neal ElAttrache scheduled for Monday, and a clearer timeline for his return from the IL could begin to come into focus following that meeting.
Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Looks ready for 2025 debut
Rotowire
Kershaw (toe) allowed two earned runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two batters over four innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Making what was likely his fifth and final rehab start, Kershaw was generally efficient (35 strikes on 57 pitches) and topped out at 88.8 miles per hour with his fastball. Though Kershaw has never been the most overpowering pitcher, he averaged 90 mph with his fastball over his seven starts with the Dodgers in 2024, so the diminished velocity he's shown during his rehab assignment means that any success that he might have at the big-league level this season could hinge even more heavily on inducing weak contact rather than making bats miss. From a workload standpoint, Kershaw isn't expected to face any major restrictions when he returns from the 60-day injured list, as he has gotten stretched out to six innings and 66 pitches over the course of his minor-league assignment. He's expected to be activated when first eligible next Sunday to make his 2025 Dodgers debut in a home start against the Angels.
Hernandez (adductor) has been hitting in the cage and is slated to take live at-bats during the Dodgers' next homestand, which begins Tuesday, per MLB.com.
This is a positive development for Los Angeles and fantasy managers who roster Hernandez after the All-Star outfielder was placed on the IL with a Grade 1 adductor strain this past Tuesday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Hernandez could be ready to return in two weeks, and that lines up with the expectation that he'll resume taking live at-bats next week. While Hernandez has been out, Andy Pages has been playing right field while recent call-up James Outman has mostly been handling center field.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Quality start in loss
Rotowire
May (1-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.
May earned his third quality start of the season with his longest outing in 2025, but he didn't get any run support. The Dodgers managed just seven baserunners in the contest and couldn't scrape together a run, leaving May to take his second loss in a row. He's allowed 16 runs over 22.2 innings across his last four outings to spoil a strong start to the campaign. Overall, the right-hander has a 4.08 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB across 39.2 innings through seven starts. May's start next week will be at home, either against the Athletics or the Angels, depending on how the Dodgers align their rotation after Roki Sasaki struggled Friday in his first taste of pitching on five days' rest.

Dodgers' River Ryan: Making progress in recovery
Rotowire
Ryan (elbow) has resumed throwing off a mound but hasn't yet progressed to full bullpen sessions, per MLB.com.
Ryan is making gradual progress from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last August. A return to the big-league roster near the end of the regular season is a possibility if Ryan continues to proceed without any setbacks, but it's not a guarantee that he'll pitch for the Dodgers this season given the nature of his procedure.

Dodgers' Kyle Hurt: Throwing off mound
Rotowire
Hurt (elbow) has resumed throwing off a mound but hasn't yet progressed to full bullpen sessions, per MLB.com.
Hurt is making gradual progress from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last July. If he continues to proceed without any setbacks, he could return to the big-league club near the end of the campaign, but that's not a guarantee given the nature of his procedure.
Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani: Adds up-down to bullpen session
Rotowire
Ohtani (elbow) threw an up-down bullpen session Saturday in Arizona, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
This was the first time Ohtani has done an up-down -- meaning he simulated a break between innings -- as he continues this pitching progression. Aside from the added wrinkle, the session was similar to recent bullpens the two-way star has thrown, as he tossed around 35 pitches consisting of four-seamers, two-seamers and splitters. Ohtani has yet to deploy his full pitch mix or throw to live hitters, however, so he's probably still at least a couple months away from returning to game action. The Dodgers plan to have him build up through simulated games since his role as a designated hitter precludes him from going on a minor-league rehab pitching assignment.

Dodgers' Will Smith: Not starting Saturday
Rotowire
Smith isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Smith is 1-for-11 with four strikeouts in his career against Arizona starter Corbin Burnes. The 30-year-old backstop will step out of the lineup Saturday while Austin Barnes starts behind the dish and bats ninth.

Dodgers' Blake Snell: Will resume throwing Sunday
Rotowire
Snell (shoulder) is expected to play catch Sunday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Snell was previously expected to resume throwing Friday, but manager Dave Roberts indicated that the hurler came down with an illness that "set him back a couple days." Snell hasn't thrown at all since late April and received a cortisone injection in the hope that it would help with the inflammation in his left shoulder. The left-handed pitcher is likely at least several weeks away from returning to the Dodgers' rotation.

Dodgers' Mookie Betts: Tallies two hits, swipes bag Friday
Rotowire
Betts went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base Friday in a 14-11 victory versus the Diamondbacks.
Betts' RBI came on a sacrifice fly, and he also singled twice and swiped his third bag of the campaign. He's been collecting hits in bunches of late -- over his last 10 games, the All Star has notched exactly two hits seven times. Over that stretch, Betts is slashing .368/.419/.526 with a home run, 10 RBI, 13 runs and a 4:4 BB:K.

Dodgers' Andy Pages: Continues to swing hot bat
Rotowire
Pages went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs and three RBI in a 14-11 win over Arizona on Friday.
Pages had a couple of big hits in the contest -- in the third inning, he stroked a two-run single to break a 3-3 tie, and in the ninth he notched an RBI double to contribute to a big Dodgers comeback in the final frame. There was a time earlier this season when the second-year outfielder was struggling and in danger of seeing less playing time, but Pages has turned things around with a red-hot stretch at the plate. Over his last 20 games, he's slashing .375/.405/.613 with four home runs, five doubles, one triple, 15 runs, 17 RBI and three stolen bases.
