Mookie Betts isn't in the lineup but en route to Fenway. Might pinch-hit tonight.
One road. No stopping. Only one survivor. #TheLongWalk isn’t just a competition, it’s a reckoning. Would you risk your life for a shot at glory? They did. And there’s no turning back.
The Long Walk looks frightening and intriguing 😱

Per @Ken_Rosenthal, the Dodgers are considering shopping Dustin May. With starters like Snell and Sasaki potentially returning, May could see him out of a rotation spot during a walk year. The team is also weary of losing depth in the midst of an injury plagued season.
According to the FOX broadcast, Hyseong Kim is dealing with some discomfort in his left shoulder, but with Betts unavailable, has played through it. Kim is 2 for 2 tonight.
I think Kershaw has seen those swinging bunt singles multiple times too many this season.
The three that reached have now scored. Dodgers down a run.
Clayton Kershaw was ahead of the first three batters he faced, but eventually allowed them to reach and two to score.

First Shohei blasts one to leadoff the game. Then Teo cracks one over the big green monster! 2-0 Dodgers
Blake Treinen returning by Monday!
Blake Treinen has completed his rehab. Will join the #Dodgers and be activated either Sunday or Monday (probably not available to pitch until Monday). Won't necessarily be "dedicated" closer. Use in highest-leverage situations
According to @katiejwoo and @FabianArdaya, the Dodgers have expressed interest in UT Brendan Donovan and OF Harrison Bader. Along with Donovan, the Cardinals are now reportedly willing to move relievers Ryan Helsley, Steven Matz and Phil Maton.
Per @Ken_Rosenthal, Dodgers are hesitant to splurge on top-end relievers, i.e., Clase or Duran, especially, with their track record of acquiring low-risk relievers and maximizing their performance. Re: Dustin May — he could shift to the bullpen, but is also considered a trade…
Dodgers take the series opener in Boston. They improve to 61-43 and now hold a 6 game lead in the division.
It took Sheehan 32 pitches to get out of a scoreless 1st inning. It took only 6 pitches in the 2nd to retire the side in order for a shutdown inning. Dodgers up 1-0 heading to the 3rd.
Last night, Blake Treinen finished the second of back-to-back appearances. His stats during his six rehab games with OKC: 24 batters faced 9 K 1 BB 1 R (0 ER) 0 H 11 whiffs 30% hard-hit rate Next step: Should expect him back with the major league club.
Trade deadline season is underway!!
BREAKING: The Seattle Mariners are acquiring first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, sources tell ESPN.
Top reliever likely off the trade market.
The Orioles have placed Felix Bautista on the injured list with right shoulder discomfort. He was a long shot to be traded anyway, but this pretty much ends any chance of that happening.
Shohei's next start is Wednesday in Cincinnati, not Monday.
Doc's pre-game presser notes: ▪️Roki Sasaki will throw a bullpen session this weekend in AZ, then face hitters the next week, also in AZ. Timeline to return is still TBD. ▪️Blake Treinen will pitch for OKC tonight. Could be the beginning of a B2B, typically the last test before…
Dave Roberts said he feels Mookie Betts is "still not right" at the plate. But he likes the mindset for Betts as a leadoff hitter. Also, Mookie might not be available for the Friday game in Boston, as he deals with personal matters.
Dodgers take the series in walk-off fashion! It's their 36th come from behind win this season!
