Won't be back before break Taylor (knee) is not expected to return to the field until after the All-Star break, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Taylor has been on the injured list due to a bone bruise in his right knee, an injury he suffered back on June 16. He's currently rehabbing at the team's spring training complex in Arizona and is not close to a return.

Decision coming Sunday Kershaw (shoulder) threw off flat ground Saturday, and the Dodgers will decide Sunday if he's ready to start Monday against the Pirates, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times re...
Impact Kershaw is dealing with left shoulder inflammation, and while the issue hasn't yet been bad enough to send him to the injured list, that remains a distinct possibility. The All-Star break arrives in just over a week, so even missing one start would mean that Kershaw might as well hit the injured list. If that is indeed the case, Michael Grove would likely start Monday and could be in line for a two-start week, with another potential outing coming next weekend against the Angels.

Dodgers activate left-hander Julio Urías to make start against Royals
The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated left-hander Julio Urías, who had missed 36 games after straining his hamstring, from the injured list to start Saturday night’s game against...JULY 1, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sent to Triple-A Bruihl was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.
Impact Bruihl will be the player to make way as Julio Urias (hamstring) returns from the injured list. His latest stint on the big-league roster lasted just two days, but he got into a came in both of them, scattering three hits across three scoreless innings. He owns a 3.72 ERA and 15:3 K:BB in 19.1 major-league innings this season.

Activated for scheduled start Urias (hamstring) was activated off the injured list Saturday ahead of his scheduled start against the Royals.
Impact Urias has been out since mid-May with a strained hamstring, but he's good to go after just one rehab start. He wasn't at his best prior to the injury, recording a 4.39 ERA in 10 starts, but his 23.3 percent strikeout rate didn't trail his career 24.3 percent mark by much while his 4.8 percent walk rate is a career best. His 2.28 HR/9 was the main problem, but if he can keep the ball in the yard going forward, he could get back to his old self.

Hits bench against southpaw Peralta will sit against lefty Daniel Lynch and the Royals on Saturday.
Impact Peralta has made just a single start against a southpaw all season, and it's unlikely that trend changes anytime soon. Jonny Deluca starts in left field in his absence.

Day off Saturday Muncy will be on the bench for Saturday's game against the Royals.
Impact Since returning from a hamstring injury Tuesday, Muncy has started against three righties while sitting against two lefties, including Saturday's starter Daniel Lynch. That's likely due more to the Dodgers' desire to ease him back into a full workload than a decision to shift him into a platoon role, though his .141/.253/.375 line against lefties this season doesn't make a great case for him to face many southpaws. Yonny Hernandez will handle the hot corner Saturday.

Tosses scoreless frame in return Hudson allowed one hit and struck out two batters in a scoreless inning against Kansas City on Friday.
Impact Hudson made his big-league season debut after missing three months while recovering from last June's torn ACL. The right-hander didn't show any rust in his return, throwing 11 of 14 pitches for a strike, fanning two batters and allowing just an infield single. Hudson could see high-leverage work pretty quickly given his success (2.22 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 30:5 K:BB over 24.1 frames) with the team last season.

Gets aboard three times Freeman went 1-for-4 with a double, two walks, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Royals.
Impact Freeman's three trips on base Friday pushed him up to a .401 on-base percentage, one of eight players in the majors north of .400. The first baseman has gone 8-for-21 (.381) over his last five games while tallying six RBI in that span. He's batting .320 with a .944 OPS, 14 home runs, 53 RBI, 65 runs scored, 11 stolen bases, 28 doubles and a triple through 81 games this season, numbers likely good enough to put him in the NL MVP conversation.

Huge performance in win Betts went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double, two walks, four RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Royals.
Impact Betts provided solo shots for the first two runs of the game, and his other two knocks also plated a run each. He's gone 7-for-8 with six walks over his last three games, a run of both impressive hitting and patience at the plate. The superstar is up to 22 homers, 55 RBI, 64 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 18 doubles, a triple and a .270/.370/.553 slash line through 78 contests as the Dodgers' main leadoff hitter.

Decent in win over Royals Miller (4-1) allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Royals on Friday.
Impact Miller came up one out short of a quality start, but this was still a vast improvement over his last two outings, in which he gave up a combined 13 runs over 9.2 innings. The rookie right-hander now has a 4.23 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB over 38.1 innings through his first seven big-league starts. He's still walking a few too many batters to be dominant, but his rotation spot is likely safe at least until Noah Syndergaard (finger) returns. Miller is projected for a home start versus the Pirates next week.
