LOS ANGELES DODGERS NEWS

Tosses 20-pitch bullpen Kelly (forearm) threw about 20 pitches in a bullpen session Friday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Kelly reportedly used his entire pitch mix in the session, which is a good indication that he is progressing well. Per the Associated Press, the veteran reliever touched the mid-90s on his fastball, approaching the upper-90s velocity he's hovered around this season. Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic previously reported that Kelly could face hitters as soon as this coming Tuesday.

Homers in first game with new team Wong hit a three-run home run as a pinch hitter in Friday's 6-3 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Wong hit for Freddie Freeman in the eighth inning, and the former got his Dodgers career started with a bang to get them on the board. Prior to signing a minor-league deal in August, Wong mustered an abysmal .468 OPS with the Mariners over 67 games. With Los Angeles, he figures to be little more than a part-time player, though his solid defensive reputation may lead to him coming off the bench as a late-game replacement more often than not.

Struggles against Atlanta Urias (11-8) allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings to take the loss Friday versus Atlanta.

Impact Atlanta's sluggers were active early and often -- Travis d'Arnaud, Ronald Acuna and Marcell Ozuna each tagged Urias for solo shots. More trouble arrived in the fifth inning, and Urias was out of the game by the time the Dodgers got on the board in the eighth. The southpaw has once again hit the skids, allowing 11 runs, including six homers, over his last 11 innings. He's at a 4.60 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 117:24 K:BB through 117.1 innings across 21 starts this season. Urias is lined up for a road start in Miami next week.

Pushed off 40-man The Dodgers designated Hernandez for assignment Friday and outrighted him to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Impact With the addition of Kolten Wong to the active roster Friday, Hernandez will remain in OKC but lose his spot on the 40-man. The 25-year-old is slashing .252/.407/.363 across 339 plate appearances in Triple-A and will likely remain in the minors to conclude the season.

On bench versus lefty Heyward is out of the lineup Friday against Atlanta.

Impact Mookie Betts is playing right field and Enrique Hernandez will get the start at second base with left-hander Max Fried toeing the slab for the NL East leaders. Heyward has slashed .063/.167/.250 in very limited action (18 plate appearances) versus southpaws this season.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty Peralta is not in the lineup Friday versus Atlanta.

Impact Chris Taylor will start in left field and bat fifth as the Dodgers take on left-hander Max Fried. Peralta has drawn only 28 plate appearances this year against lefties. He's made 327 plate appearances against righties.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Selected to active roster The Dodgers selected Wong's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Impact After slashing just .165/.241/.227 with Seattle, Wong was let go by the Mariners and eventually signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers. Wong went 7-for-13 with six RBI and three runs scored in just three games with Oklahoma City, so he'll join the big-league club as second-base depth behind Mookie Betts for the final month of the season. Yonny Hernandez was designated for assignment to clear a space on the 40-man roster.

Recalled from OKC The Dodgers recalled Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Impact Sheehan holds a 5.63 ERA and 1.28 WHIP through 38.1 innings with the Dodgers this season, and he will come up from the minors to presumably round out Los Angeles' rotation. Despite his inflated stats, Sheehan looked sharp in his last two MLB appearances, surrendering just two runs in nine innings while striking out eight batters and walking two.

Goes deep in loss Busch went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to Atlanta.

Impact Busch hit one of four Dodgers long balls in the contest, swatting a solo shot to right field in the seventh inning. It was his second homer -- but just his third overall hit -- since being recalled from the minors Aug. 22. Busch has struggled since the promotion, slashing .130/.192/.391 with eight strikeouts over 26 plate appearances.
