LOS ANGELES DODGERS NEWS

Appears as pinch hitter Friday Martinez (hamstring) drove in a run on a bases-loaded walk in Friday's 10-5 win against the Padres.

Impact Before Friday, Martinez hadn't appeared in a game since exiting early in Sunday's contest against the Reds due to left hamstring tightness. The veteran slugger was able to avoid a trip to the injured list and collected a walk with the bases full in the eighth inning Friday to notch an RBI, though he was immediately pulled for a pinch runner. PerDavid Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, Martinez is expected to return to the starting lineup Saturday against San Diego.

Drives in pair Rosario went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-5 win over the Padres.

Impact Rosario was at shortstop Friday after making his last three starts at second base, all against southpaws. He's gone 7-for-21 (.333) with a home run, seven RBI and one steal through six games with the Dodgers since he was traded from the Guardians. Rosario is at a .268/.309/.379 slash line with four homers, 10 steals, 47 RBI and 54 runs scored through 100 contests in 2023.

Reaches three times in win Betts went 2-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Padres.

Impact Betts has started August blazing, going 7-for-16 with four extra-base hits over four games this month. The 30-year-old's steal was his first since June 28. He's up to eight thefts on the year while adding a strong .284/.387/.575 slash line, 29 home runs, 70 RBI, 88 runs scored, 28 doubles and one triple through 103 contests.

Productive in Friday's win Outman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 10-5 win over the Padres.

Impact Outman snapped an 11-game homer drought Friday, though he was still solid with six RBI, two steals and two doubles while batting .300 in that span. The outfielder remains in a strong-side platoon role, though he's potentially earned a bit more than that after starting against two of the three southpaws the Dodgers faced in their series versus Oakland. He's at a .252/.352/.435 slash line with 13 homers, 13 steals, 49 RBI and 55 runs scored over 369 plate appearances.

Collects save Friday Phillips allowed a run on one hit over 1.1 innings to earn the save in Friday's 10-5 win over the Padres. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

Impact Phillips entered with two outs and two on in the eighth inning, and he escaped the jam. The Dodgers tacked on three runs, though Phillips gave one of them back in the ninth when he allowed a solo home run to Juan Soto. Phillips is up to 14 saves in 16 chances this season while serving as the Dodgers' top high-leverage option. He's added a 2.36 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 47:9 K:BB with six holds over 42 innings.

Inefficient Friday Miller allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Friday.

Impact Miller needed 82 pitches (49 strikes) to get 11 outs in an inefficient start. The right-hander has given up nine runs (eight earned) over 19.1 innings across his four appearances since the All-Star break. He's at a 4.26 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB through 63.1 innings across 12 starts overall. Miller is projected for a tough road start in Arizona next week, and he may be at risk of losing his place in the rotation if the Dodgers opt to put Ryan Yarbrough in his place in the coming weeks.

Expected to sit again Saturday Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Muncy (wrist) will only be available to pinch run Friday and Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact A fastball to the wrist forced Muncy from Thursday's game against Oakland. He was fortunate to avoid any structural damage -- X-rays were negative -- but it sounds like Muncy will be limited for at least the first two games of the Padres series. Chris Taylor starts at third base Friday as David Peralta cleans up against right-hander Yu Darvish.

AUGUST 4, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Optioned to Triple-A Sheehan was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Impact This is the corresponding move to Saturday's likely bulk reliever, Ryan Yarbrough, getting added to the active roster. Sheehan essentially piggybacked Julio Urias in Thursday's game after Urias was limited to five innings due to a split fingernail. After replacing Urias, Sheehan went the distance to pick up a four-inning save, so he obviously wouldn't have been an option to pitch in the coming days. It wouldn't be surprising to see Sheehan back in the big leagues as a starter or reliever later this season.
