I cover the Dodgers for @TheAthleticMLB | BBWAA | @Cronkite_ASU grad | 🇦🇷🇧🇴| he/him
On the night Walker Buehler etched himself into franchise lore forever, and how he epitomized the 2024 Los Angeles Dodgers. “He went through a lot, but now he’s etched in Dodger glory and royalty forever." The Dodgers are champions again. nytimes.com/athletic/58876…

Ben Casparius said he felt his foot give out along with his calf cramping, like he couldn’t get his legs under him. He’s going to get an MRI tomorrow morning.
The Dodgers lost, 10-7. They are 59-43 and have dropped 11 of their last 14 games. They're 1-4 out of the All-Star break. Just another ugly game in which Dodgers pitchers walked seven and also committed a three-run error when Edgardo Henriquez whipped a ball to the wall.
Shohei Ohtani has homered in four straight games for the first time in his career.
Ben Casparius left the game with a right calf cramp.
It looked like Twins reliever Anthony Misiewicz hurt himself during a replay review...(?) So the Dodgers will get to see Twins closer Jhoan Durán instead. What a weird game.
Well then. Hyeseong Kim, who has scuffled of late, just turned around 99 mph from Louis Varland for a two-run single that gets the Dodgers right back into this one. 6-5 Twins.
Ben Casparius is getting checked out by a trainer after going walk, double, walk and then a walk to bring home a run. Grabbed his right hamstring. He's out of the game.
It took Yoshinobu Yamamoto 101 pitches to get through five innings, in large part because of a 36-pitch second that was extended out by some sloppy infield defense behind him (and a 1-2 splitter he left up to Christian Vázquez). Still allowed just those three runs.
Simeon Woods-Richardson has already issued five walks tonight. Andy Pages just made him pay. Three-run shot (second HR in as many nights) ties the game and chases Woods-Richardson from this game. It's 3-3.
Nine days remain until the trade deadline. If Tanner Scott's injury did anything for the Dodgers' plans to add a reliever, it's put those plans in pen. nytimes.com/athletic/65100…
The Dodgers recalled RHP Alexis Díaz and placed LHP Tanner Scott on the injured list with left elbow inflammation.
Max Muncy is taking BP on the field for the first time since going on the IL.
Dodgers are still waiting on MRI results on Tanner Scott. He’s going on the IL but they believe he’s “in a better” spot than last night, Dave Roberts said.
Alexis Díaz is here in the Dodgers clubhouse with Tanner Scott expected to land on the IL.
Tanner Scott felt something in his forearm and is "most likely" headed for the injured list. The Dodgers already were seeking reliever upgrades. This just adds to it: nytimes.com/athletic/65079…
Tanner Scott will “most likely” go on the IL, Dave Roberts said.
Tanner Scott felt a “sting” in his forearm, per Dave Roberts. Will get an MRI tomorrow.
