On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we worry about the pitching staff after short starts last week by Bobby Miller, Tyler Glasnow, and James Paxton taxing the bullpen, while also exalting Gavin Stone, who pitched a shutout. With no real immediate cavalry in sight, the Dodgers rotation has little margin for error over the next few weeks as it navigates into the All-Star break and beyond.

Also, an appreciation for the magnificent season Miguel Rojas is having both offensively and defensively. Plus how Chris Taylor has broken out of the doldrums and will get a runway at third base to see if something clicks.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we look at the Dodgers pitching staff at the moment, with Walker Buehler getting a reset with another trip to the injured list.

In the last week-plus, the Dodgers lost Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Buehler, with the latter more of a reset as Buehler works through kinks in his mechanics and delivery. They got back Bobby Miller and inserted Landon Knack for now in the rotation.

We look at the run of off days on the schedule and what that might mean this week for the pitching staff, plus the Dodgers playing it cautious with Clayton Kershaw, who started a rehab assignment of his own.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we marvel at the many majestic home runs and other exploits of Shohei Ohtani, who is now leading off for the Dodgers.

Ohtani hit four home runs last week, and has an extra-base hit in seven straight games, but was also joined by others in the lineup around him, including a productive 7-8-9 group that has struggled all year with a rotating cast of characters.

Plus an update on Max Muncy, who is “stir crazy” waiting for his oblique to heal and will be out until at least the All-Star break.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap an absolutely brutal weekend at Dodger Stadium during which Mookie Betts broke a bone in his left hand and Yoshinobu Yamamoto suffered a strained rotator cuff.

Both are expected to miss several weeks, if not months. Craig Goldstein at Baseball Prospectus shared data from the site's injury recovery database, showing recent pitchers with a rotator cuff strain miss an average of 64 days, while a broken hand averages 53 days away.

We'll dig into more details on what's next for the Dodgers on our next episode, but for the coming week ahead at least, Miguel Vargas will be called up from Triple-A to take Betts' roster spot, Miguel Rojas will see the bulk of time at shortstop with a smattering of Kiké Hernández, Bobby Miller will return from his own long injured-list stint on Wednesday, and Landon Knack might make a spot start next weekend against the Angels.
