Inks minors deal with LAD Sherriff signed a minor-league contract Tuesday with the Dodgers, Alex Freedman of the OKC Dodgers reports.

Impact Sherriff elected to become a free agent after being pushed off the 40-man roster in Boston earlier this month and has now found a new home in the Dodgers organization. He'll be available out of the Triple-A Oklahoma City bullpen Tuesday night in Reno.

Back in DH spot Tuesday Martinez (hamstring) is serving as the Dodgers' designated hitter and batting fifth Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Martinez missed Sunday's series finale versus the Rangers and Monday's series opener versus the Blue Jays due to tightness in his left hamstring, but it has proven to be a minor issue. The veteran slugger boasts an .881 OPS with 24 homers and 73 RBI in 80 games this season for Los Angeles.

Returning to Dodgers in trade The Dodgers acquired Hernandez from the Red Sox on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hernandez has posted an ugly .222/.279/.320 batting line in 323 plate appearances this season after also struggling at the dish in 2022, but he can play both shortstop and second base, and the Dodgers need help at both spots. The 31-year-old seems likely to operate in a super-utility role, even covering some outfield, as he makes his return to Los Angeles. He played six seasons with the Dodgers between 2015-2020.

Smacks 10th homer Heyward went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Monday's 6-3 extra-innings loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Heyward has homered twice in his last four games, but he's still hitting just .189 (7-for-37) in July. The outfielder is up to 10 homers this season, his most since he slugged 21 for the Cubs in 2019. He's slashing .250/.348/.474 with 26 RBI, 39 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases through 230 plate appearances, but his playing time may decrease if he can't shake his recent slump.

Stays hot Monday Muncy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Monday's 6-3 extra-innings loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Muncy homered for the third game in a row, and he's hit safely in five straight contests (8-for-21). The infielder also got above the Mendoza line Monday -- he's hitting .201 on the year, his highest mark since June 8. He's added an .819 OPS, 25 long balls, 65 RBI, 58 runs scored and a stolen bases through 347 plate appearances.

Strikes out six Grove allowed two runs on eight hits and struck out six without walking a batter over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Monday.

Impact Grove was decent aside from the eight hits, throwing 48 of 68 pitches for strikes in the short start. It was just the second time all season he's avoided walking a batter. The right-hander is now at a 6.19 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 53:17 K:BB through 56.2 innings over 13 appearances (10 starts). Grove should stick in the rotation for another turn at home over the weekend versus the Reds. He may eventually lose his major-league roster spot with Noah Syndergaar (finger) and Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) working back from injuries.
