Tosses three simulated innings Kershaw (shoulder) worked three innings in a simulated game Saturday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact The sim game took place five days later than originally anticipated, though Kershaw hasn't had any setbacks. The left-hander has been ramping up as he pushes toward a return to the Dodgers' rotation, which could happen as soon as next week, depending on how he feels in the coming days. Kershaw's last start took place in Colorado on June 27, but he could return without needing a rehab assignment despite spending over a month on the shelf.

Designated for assignment The Dodgers designated Bickford for assignment on Saturday.
Impact The 28-year-old will lose his place on Los Angeles' 26-man and 40-man rosters in order to clear space for trade-acquisition Joe Kelly. Bickford had a 2.81 ERA during the 2021 campaign but has struggled over the past two seasons with a 4.89 ERA in 96 appearances. However, he's given up just two earned runs in his past 13 outings and could generate some interest on the waiver wire.

Scratched with ankle soreness Betts was scratched from the Dodgers' lineup Saturday against the Reds due to right ankle soreness.
Impact The severity of Betts' injury is unknown, but it is apparently enough to hold him out of Saturday's contest. Chris Taylor will fill in at second base and bat eighth while Betts recovers, and the 30-year-old All-Star should be considered day-to-day going forward.

Sits against lefty Rosario is not in Saturday's lineup against the Reds.
Impact He got a start at shortstop Friday against lefty Brandon Williamson, but will sit against righty Luke Weaver in his second game with the Dodgers. Rosario's playing time and lineup spot both look less favorable following the trade, which makes him expendable in some mixed leagues. Miguel Rojas is starting at shortstop Saturday and batting ninth.

Surrenders three runs in loss Miller (6-2) allowed three runs on six hits and struck out six without walking a batter over five innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Reds.
Impact The Reds did their damage in the first inning, which included Jake Fraley tagging Miller for a two-run home run. Miller appears to be mostly back on track, having allowing seven runs over his last 15.2 innings following a rough stretch in the latter half of June. The rookie right-hander has a 4.37 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 59:16 K:BB through 59.2 innings over 11 starts this season. He's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Padres next week, though that could change if the Dodgers continue to add starting pitching ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Miller likely has the upper hand on remaining in the rotation over Emmet Sheehan and Michael Grove, who have both struggled lately and will get one more audition each over the remainder of this weekend's series.
