LOS ANGELES DODGERS NEWS

Sitting versus lefty Muncy is absent from the lineup Friday against the Giants.

Impact Enrique Hernandez will start at third base and bat seventh as the Dodgers take on left-hander Sean Manaea. Muncy carries a .650 OPS in 166 plate appearances this year versus lefties, compared to a stellar .903 OPS in 375 plate appearances versus righties.

Likely out until NLCS Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told Dani Wexelman of MLB Network Radio on Friday that Almonte (knee) probably won't be ready to return until around the start of the NLCS.

Impact That's assuming the Dodgers even get there, of course, and even then it might not be a given that he's added to the roster following a long layoff. Almonte will have missed more than two months of action by that point with a right knee sprain, although he did recently resume throwing off the mound.

In line for bulk relief Yarbrough is expected to serve as a bulk reliever in Friday's game versus the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Caleb Ferguson will be the Dodgers' opener. It's possible the team will use a right-hander in between Ferguson and Yarbrough in order to break up the lefties, but Yarbrough looks to be in line to eat up the bulk of the innings.

Opening Friday's game Ferguson will serve as an opener for the Dodgers in Friday's game versus the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manager Dave Roberts also noted that Ryan Yarbrough will be part of the pitching plan, likely as a bulk reliever. It's the sixth opener assignment this season for Ferguson, who boasts a 2.56 ERA and 66:21 K:BB over 56.1 frames in 2023.

Breakout season ends with injury Gauthier suffered a broken pinky finger Sept. 14 and missed the last few games of Double-A Tulsa's season, according to Dodgers Daily.

Impact It's unclear if Gauthier will be able to get healthy in time to be an option for the Arizona Fall League, but he already had a breakout season. He saw over 15 starts at third base, shortstop, second base and left field this season while slashing .316/.435/.476 with 12 home runs, 19 steals and more walks (100) than strikeouts (84) in 124 games across High-A and Double-A. Gauthier's age (24) and fringe-average game power (24.9 Hard%) are the two main knocks on him, but his impressive hit tool, swing decisions and defensive versatility should get him to the big leagues.

Slugs 30th homer Martinez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two additional RBI in Thursday's 7-2 victory versus the Giants.

Impact Martinez gave Los Angeles a 2-0 lead with his fourth-inning solo shot and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth and a run-scoring single in the eighth. The veteran has been on fire since being activated from the injured list Sept. 8, slashing .386/.442/.750 with five homers, 17 RBI and eight runs over 12 games. Martinez's long ball Thursday gave him his first 30-homer campaign since he went deep 36 times for Boston in 2019.

Racks up nine punchouts Thursday Sheehan allowed one run on zero hits and four walks while striking out nine batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Thursday.

Impact Sheehan came out of the bullpen in his previous outing but was back in a starting role Thursday. He put up quite a unique stat line, no-hitting the Giants for 4.2 frames but racking up 93 pitches as a result of four walks and nine strikeouts. The rookie came close to qualifying for the victory but couldn't harness his control with two outs in the fourth inning, allowing four straight batters to reach base (with one crossing the plate) on a hit-by-pitch and three straight walks. Sheehan has flashed big strikeout upside with 14 punchouts over 7.2 innings during his past two appearances, and he could be a weapon for Los Angeles in the postseason, though it's uncertain how the team will use him once the playoffs begin.
