LOS ANGELES DODGERS NEWS

Slated for another sim game Kershaw (shoulder) will face hitters in another simulated game Thursday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Kershaw tossed three simulated innings Saturday and will require at least one more throwing session before he's cleared to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation. The left-hander has been brought along slowly in his recovery process, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action shortly after Thursday's simulated game.

Slated for MRI Martinez (hamstring) will undergo an MRI after exiting Sunday's game against the Reds, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact Martinez was in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup, but he was replaced by a pinch hitter before making a plate appearance. Manager Dave Roberts said that the 35-year-old couldn't run or swing a bat Sunday, and his MRI should help determine the severity of his injury.

X-rays negative Smith (elbow) underwent X-rays that came back negative Sunday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact Smith was hit by a pitch in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Reds and was later removed due to what was deemed a left elbow contusion. Further testing didn't reveal any structural damage, and he hopes to be available for Tuesday's matchup against the Athletics.

Debuting Tuesday Lynn will make his first start with the Dodgers on Tuesday versus the Athletics in Los Angeles, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Though he'll be taking a 6.47 ERA and 1.46 WHIP into his Dodgers debut, Lynn could be worth activating in the majority of leagues with weekly lineups. After drawing the home matchup with one of baseball's worst teams, Lynn will tentatively line up for a second start next Sunday in San Diego. Even with the unsightly ERA and WHIP during his time with the White Sox, Lynn wasn't a total zero for fantasy mangers this season, as he's currently holding down a career-best 10.8 K/9 that's backed by a career-high 13.9 percent swinging-strike rate.

Exits with bruised elbow Smith was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds with a left elbow contusion.

Impact Smith was hit by a pitch in the left elbow during the opening frame Sunday and was pulled from the contest before making another plate appearance. The 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day and will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery before Tuesday's matchup with Oakland.

Hamstring issue resurfaces Martinez was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact The veteran slugger missed two games with the same issue early last week and apparently isn't fully past the injury. Martinez didn't have a plate appearance Sunday before being replaced for a pinch hitter during the second inning. He'll have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the A's.

Heads back to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Impact Miller lost his spot on the 26-man roster to right-hander Lance Lynn, whom the Dodgers acquired in a trade with the White Sox on Friday. During his brief stay with Los Angeles, Miller made one two-inning appearance out of the bullpen, giving up two earned runs on three hits and one walk.

Start pushed to Thursday Urias will have his next start pushed to Thursday against the A's to give a fingernail issue a couple extra days to heal, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Urias allowed three runs over six innings last Tuesday against Toronto, but he apparently dealt with a fingernail issue during the outing. The left-hander will have his next start moved back a couple days, with newcomer Lance Lynn starting Tuesday and Tony Gonsolin taking the mound Wednesday.

Sitting again Sunday Betts (ankle) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact The 2018 AL MVP was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to soreness in his right ankle and will be sidelined Sunday for the second straight game. Betts will also have Monday's team off day to rest up ahead of Tuesday's series opener against the A's. Enrique Hernandez will man the keystone and bat eighth Sunday.

Powers offense in win Muncy went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Reds.

Impact The Dodgers had just two hits Saturday, with Muncy sending them both over the fence against Reds right-hander Luke Weaver. This snapped an 0-for-9 skid for Muncy, who has homered six times over his last nine games. The infielder is up to 27 long balls, 70 RBI, 60 runs scored, one stolen bases and eight doubles while slashing .199/.331/.495 through 86 contests.

Picks up 13th save Phillips allowed a hit and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Reds.

Impact Phillips had not received a save chance since he blew one July 4. His strong showing Saturday extended his scoreless streak to 5.2 innings over his last six appearances. Ryan Brasier and Alex Vesia each picked up a save this month, making the back end of the Dodgers bullpen a tricky one to forecast over the remaining two months. Phillips is still in the closer committee, as is Brusdar Graterol, though the recently re-acquired Joe Kelly could also enter that mix. Phillips has a 2.21 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 47:9 K:BB through 40.2 innings this season while adding 13 saves and six holds.

Throws five scoreless innings Sheehan allowed two hits and a walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Saturday.

Impact Caleb Ferguson couldn't hold the lead in the sixth inning, costing Sheehan a chance at the win. The right-hander rebounded well from a skid that saw him allow 17 runs over 12.1 innings across his previous three starts. He's now at a 5.77 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 27:17 K:BB through 34.1 innings across seven starts this season. Sheehan remains on the bubble for a rotation spot with the Dodgers, though Saturday's outing may give him the upper hand over Michael Grove to remain a starter until Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is ready to return.
