Scooped up by Dodgers The Dodgers claimed Miller off waivers from the Mets on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Miller will begin his second stint in the Dodgers organization in this month along, as Los Angeles had previously lost him to New York in a waiver claim on Aug. 4. The Mets eventually booted Miller off their 40-man roster a few weeks later, but the right-hander will get another look in the Los Angeles bullpen while the Dodgers currently have eight relievers on the injured list. Since Miller has already been optioned to the minors five times this season between stops with the Brewers, Mets and Dodgers, he'll need to be added to the Dodgers' 26-man active roster. Los Angeles already cleared a spot for Miller on the 40-man roster by transferring Tony Gonsolin (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL.

Shifts to 60-day IL The Dodgers transferred Gonsolin (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact The transaction opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver-wire pickup Tyson Miller, but more significantly, it officially closes the door on Gonsolin pitching again in 2023, barring the Dodgers making a deep postseason run. Even if the Dodgers advance to the National League Championship Series or the World Series, Gonsolin is still unlikely to pitch again, given that he could require surgery to address his right elbow injury. Gonsolin recently underwent an MRI, and the Dodgers will await the results before making a decision regarding surgery. If a procedure is deemed necessary, Gonsolin's absence could stretch into the 2024 season.

Couple weeks away Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Almonte (knee) is still at least a couple weeks away from returning, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Alomonte landed on the injured list Aug. 12 with a right knee sprain and he remains in rest and recovery mode with the beginning of September looming. The 28-year-old reliever had pitched to a 5.06 ERA and 49:24 K:BB in 48 innings for Los Angeles prior to the injury.

Retreats to bench Sunday Hernandez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact The utility man will head to the bench after he started in each of the past four games while going 5-for-18 with one home run, three doubles, two walks, five RBI and two runs in addition to picking up reps in center field and at third base and shortstop. He should be a mainstay in the lineup versus left-handers and will see occasional starts versus right-handed pitching.

Could require surgery Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Gonsolin (forearm) might require surgery, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact There's nothing official yet, but Gonsolin is not expected back this season and a surgical procedure could affect his readiness for the beginning of the 2024 campaign. The 29-year-old right-hander landed on the injured list Aug. 19 due to right forearm discomfort, and an MRI taken earlier this week apparently revealed some form of structural damage.

Still feeling arm discomfort Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Kelly is still experiencing forearm discomfort, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kelly tried to throw a bullpen session Friday and it didn't go well, though Roberts told reporters that the veteran reliever is still expected back at some point his year. He's been on the 15-day injured list since Aug. 13 due to a bout of right forearm inflammation.

Optioned to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Hudson to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hudson struggled with his command in a relief appearance Saturday at Boston and carries a 7.27 ERA in 8.2 major-league innings this year. Gavin Stone has been called up in a corresponding roster move to serve as the Dodgers' bulk reliever in Sunday's series finale against the Red Sox.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled for bulk relief Stone was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and will serve as the Dodgers' bulk pitcher Sunday at Boston, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 24-year-old right-hander is expected to follow opener Caleb Ferguson in Sunday's series finale at Fenway Park. Stone has allowed 18 runs -- 17 earned -- in 12 innings of work this season at the major-league level.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets breather Sunday Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Smith will get a breather after going 1-for-8 with two walks and two runs scored in the first two games of the three-game series at Boston. Austin Barnes is starting at catcher for the Dodgers and batting ninth.

Swipes bag Saturday Rosario went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run, an RBI and a stolen base in a loss to Boston on Saturday.

Impact Rosario got the start at second base and plated a run with an infield single in the first inning. The veteran then drew a walk in the fourth, stole second and came around to score the Dodgers' second run. However, Rosario was lifted for a left-handed hitter when righty Garrett Whitlock came on to pitch for the Red Sox in the seventh frame. Rosario is slashing .239/.282/.463 with three homers, 13 RBI, 10 runs and two steals over 23 contests since joining the Dodgers on July 26.

Three more hits Betts went 3-for-6 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-5 loss to Boston.

Impact Betts extended his hit streak to 12 games with a first-inning double off the Green Monster in Boston, notched a base hit in the sixth and added an RBI single in the eighth. The versatile superstar is hitting an absurd .542 (26-for-48) during the hit streak, with three home runs, five doubles, 12 RBI, 14 runs, and two steals.

Reaches 30 homers Muncy went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Saturday's loss to Boston.

Impact The 33-year-old slugger deposited a fifth-inning James Paxton offering into the Fenway bleachers for a two-run shot, giving the Dodgers a 4-2 lead. Muncy has now reached the 30-homer plateau for the fourth time in his career. However, his batting average remains below the Mendoza Line at .197 for the year.

Tagged for six runs in loss Urias (11-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings against Boston. He struck out nine.

Impact The 27-year-old southpaw served up three home runs Saturday, including Adam Duvall's three-run shot in the sixth inning that gave Boston a lead that would not be relinquished. Urias had been phenomenal in his previous five starts, posting a 2.03 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and an impressive 32:4 K:BB across 31 innings during that span. However, Saturday's clunker inflated his season-long ERA to a disappointing 4.41. Urias is projected to face a tough Atlanta lineup at home next week.
