Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

Jack Flaherty made his debut as a Dodger and looked great. He worked out of a bases loaded jam in the 6th, it would be his last frame allowing just 5 hits while striking out 7. Dodgers looked alive at the plate with 14 hits which included a 6 run 9th and they went 8-15 with RISP 3 hits for Teoscar Hernandez and Kike Hernandez and Shohei Ohtani had 2 and stole 2 bases to become the first Dodger to go 30/30 (home runs and stolen bases) since Matt Kemp in 2011. 10-0 the final.

Dodgers lead early on a Teoscar Hernandez 2-run homer but the went 0-16from there. The A's tied it in the 4th on 2 solo home runs and then posted 4 more in the 5th on double, triple and homer to grab 6-2 lead. Shohei Ohtani hit his 33rd round tripper of the year in the 9th to pull the Dodgers to within 1 but the A's hold on 6-5

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a roster crunch coming, with Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Tommy Edman, and Max Muncy all expected to return to the active roster in the next few weeks and new acquisitions Kevin Kiermaier and Amed Rosario joining the team this weekend in Oakland. Jeff is here to break down what roster moves are likely as each guy comes back, plus digging into specific roles for Betts, Rosario, Edman, and more. There's also a medical update on Freeman's son Maximus, who remains in our prayers.

Clayton Kershaw failed to strike out a batter and was hit around in a loss to the Padres. Kershaw has been named in postseason rotation projections but realistically the Dodgers shouldn’t need him to throw in the postseason. Michael Kopech made his Dodgers debut and was lights out. What can we expect from him moving forward? Lastly, there’s some reinforcements on the way hopefully sooner rather than later. The Dodgers have some decisions to make and it might not be that hard.

Clayton Kershaw started and had a fairly smooth first inning but that would be it as the Padres put up 4 in the 2nd 3 more in the 4th and that was all for Kerhsaw who gave up 3 runs on 6 hits and only 2 swing and misses. Gavin Lux drove in the only run but uncharacteristically had 2 errors part of 3 on the night for the Dodgers who have now lost 10 of their last 12 road games.

Dodgers scored 5 in the first and then went to sleep at the plate as the Padres scratched their way back into the game and tied it in the 9th with 2 solo home runs off Blake Treinen. Really solid outing for Tyler Glasnow who went 7 striking out 8 giving up 3 runs on 6 hits. Padres walk it off in 10 6-5

The trade deadline was a success for the Dodgers! Just minutes ahead of the deadline, the Dodgers traded for Jack Flaherty to add a good starting pitcher to the rotation. Flaherty slots into the top half of the rotation, and can be a valuable piece in October. The Dodgers also acquired Kevin Kiermaier from the Blue Jays to fill a defensive role in the outfield. A few roster moves have already been made and more to come so it will be interesting to see what happens there. Lastly, a quick look at other trades around the division and league as well as some updates on yesterday's trade acquisitions.

The Dodgers made a couple trades on Monday and got better. It wasn't the big deal that we want but improvements have been acquired. In a three-team trade with the Cardinals and White Sox, the Dodgers got Michael Kopech and Tommy Edman. What do these guys bring to the team? In the other trade, the Dodgers got Amed Rosario for the second straight deadline. Can he keep up his 2024 success in LA? Lastly, what can Andrew Friedman and Co. cook up before the deadline? Garrett Crochet? Jack Flaherty? Maybe Blake Snell?

The Dodgers lost the weekend series to the Astros and it was frustrating. Two rookie pitchers were taken out in the 6th inning of two games and the bullpen immediately allowed runs. Luckily the Dodgers still held on in one of the games. Were Dave Roberts decisions bad or just end poorly? Also, the trade deadline has yet to bring the Dodgers anyone while players like Randy Arozarena, Isaac Paredes and more have been dealt to other teams. Time to panic yet? Lastly, there was some positives from the weekend like the performances of Justin Wrobleski and River Ryan, Gavin Lux's continued resurgence and another positive outing from Brent Honeywell.

Justin Wrobleski had a great outing going 5 2/3 which would be wasted by the bullpen Evan Philips ineffective again, Daniel Hudson struggled giving up 2 runs on 3 hits and Blake Treinen surrendered the walk off home run to Alex Bregman as the Astros dig out of a 5 run hole to win 7-6. Shohei Ohtani hit his 32nd homer and Cavan Biggio his first HR as a Dodger.
