Dodgers rest Teoscar Hernandez as slump lingers vs Braves

Dodgers left Teoscar Hernandez out of the lineup for a game against the Braves amid a protracted slump, as he’s hitting .172 with no home runs and a .441 OPS over his last 18 games. Manager Dave Roberts called it “not great” but framed it as a day off, with Hernandez set to return for the remaining road trip while he and the hitting staff address swing mechanics. Los Angeles remains patient given his postseason track record, though the club could consider other left-field options if the drought continues.

Brewers surge puts a World Series within reach

Milwaukee has surged to an 81-50 record and sits on a roughly 100-win pace, driven by elite defense, solid baserunning, and a revamped rotation led by Jacob Misiorowski. The Brewers have dominated the season beyond a rocky 13-13 start, posting a deep resume that includes series wins against top teams and a 43-22 mark vs. teams .500 or better. With that form, a first World Series title feels plausible, while hot-streaks from Phillies and Red Sox and Detroit’s late-season flameout are noted in the surrounding chatter.

Glasnow Set to Rejoin Dodgers Ahead of Braves Series

Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow is slated to return to the rotation early next week for a series against the Braves after more than three months on the 60-day IL with a back injury; he reached 77 pitches in a rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City and could take the spot of Justin Wrobleski, who is on the injured list with left forearm inflammation and will return as a multi-inning reliever. The update also notes Shohei Ohtani ramping up toward a pitcher’s return, Edwin Diaz moving back into lower-leverage roles, and Will Klein dealing with elbow bone chips.

Dodgers edge Pirates with 10th-inning walk-off, spoiling road-trip opener

Oneil Cruz tied the game with a two-run homer in the eighth, but Tommy Edman delivered a two-out, two-strike RBI single in the 10th to lift the Dodgers to a 5-4 walk-off win over the Pirates in Los Angeles, wasting Pittsburgh’s rally as they started a critical nine-game road trip 0-1. Bubba Chandler struggled early, Dodgers’ offense built a 4-2 lead, then the Pirates bullpen kept them in it as Cruz’s homer forced extras. In the 10th, Reynolds singled, Cruz was intentionally walked, and Henry Davis grounded into a decisive double play with the bases loaded. The Pirates remain four games under .500 as the series continues this weekend.

Soon-Shiong Signals Dodgers Bid If Walter Sells Amid Probe

Although Dodgers owner Mark Walter says the team isn’t for sale, federal scrutiny of his insurance empire and related cash pressures could spur bidders, with Patrick Soon-Shiong saying he would lead an investment group if Walter chooses to sell. Industry talk values the Dodgers at roughly $10–$13 billion, and Soon-Shiong—owner of the Los Angeles Times and a former Dodgers bidder—could be a leading contender, even as the Lakers recently changed hands to a Bob Iger–Kushner-backed group.

Dodgers Not for Sale, Kasten Reassures Amid Ownership Shake-Up

Dodgers president Stan Kasten reiterated that the team is not for sale and has no sale process in motion, even as owner Mark Walter’s broader holdings face scrutiny and related moves, including the Lakers’ sale and Chelsea F.C. minority discussions. Investigations into Walter’s insurance businesses are ongoing (no charges yet), while TWG Global seeks investors to help manage loans. Kasten stressed the Dodgers’ finances stand on their own, with heavy CBT and luxury-tax obligations, and noted that Ohtani’s contract contains a key-man clause intended to reinvest savings if leadership changes occur.

Dodgers’ $240M Gamble Hits a Rough Patch as Tucker Slumps

The Dodgers gave Kyle Tucker a four-year, $240 million deal, but this season has seen a pronounced slump, especially at Dodger Stadium (0-for-23 dating into August, 60 wRC+ at home vs. 126 wRC+ on the road) that has drawn boos and raised questions about the contract. Defensive miscues and a rough home environment have compounded the struggles, though Tucker has been better on the road and the Dodgers still rely on a strong pitching staff and stars like Ohtani as they push toward the playoffs; without a breakthrough, a World Series run would be a major surprise given the investment.
