LOS ANGELES DODGERS NEWS

Faces one batter, earns save Phillips picked up the save in Tuesday's 5-0 win over Colorado. He threw one-third of a scoreless inning.

Impact Phillips entered with the bases loaded and two outs after Phil Bickford handed out three walks in the inning, but Phillips managed to retire his first batter and grab his 11th save of the campaign. After going over a month without logging a save, Phillips has logged four in the last week and looks to be the Dodgers preferred ninth-inning arm at the moment, ahead of Brusdar Graterol.

Tosses gem at Coors Field Kershaw (10-4) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Rockies. He struck out two.

Impact Kershaw blanked the Rockies across six innings Tuesday, allowing just one hit despite fanning a season-low two batters. The outing was his second consecutive start without allowing a run and marked his third time doing so in his last four. Though the Rockies' offense struggles on the road, they boast the seventh most runs per game at home at the incredibly hitter-friendly Coors Field, making Kershaw's performance even more impressive. Despite being in year 16, Kershaw has been one of MLB's best arms as of late, owning a 1.09 ERA and a 30:8 K:BB with four wins in the month of June (33 innings).

Activated off IL The Dodgers reinstated Muncy (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Muncy landed on the injured list June 16 with a left hamstring strain and will now return as the Dodgers' primary third baseman. The 32-year-old slugger was slashing .094/.237/.219 through 38 plate appearances in June prior to getting hurt. Muncy's return will send Michael Busch back to Triple-A Oklahoma City as a corresponding move.

Optioned to OKC The Dodgers optioned Busch to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact With Max Muncy (hamstring) returning from the injured list Tuesday, Busch will be pushed off the Dodgers' major-league roster. The 25-year-old infielder slashed .192/.250/.308 across 28 plate appearances after getting called up June 16, and he could very well find himself back in the majors later this season if he keeps performing in Triple-A the way he has.

Out of lineup Tuesday Vargas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Vargas has really struggled as of late, and the Dodgers will go with Mookie Betts at second base against Colorado on Tuesday with Max Muncy (hamstring) coming off the injured list to play third. There have been flashes of brilliance from Vargas in his rookie season, but he's in danger of losing more playing time if the hits continue to not drop in.

Set to return Saturday Urias (hamstring) is set to return to the Dodgers' rotation Saturday in Kansas City, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Urias felt good after his lone minor-league rehab start Sunday with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, during which he tallied eight strikeouts across four innings of one-run ball. He only threw 60 pitches in the outing, so there may be a limit to how far he can go against the Royals, but it's a highly favorable fantasy matchup nonetheless. The 26-year-old left-hander has been on the injured list since May 20 due to a hamstring strain.

Notches 2,000th career hit Freeman went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run and an RBI against Houston in a loss Sunday.

Impact Freeman came into the contest having been stuck on 1,998 career hits for the past two days. He doubled to left field for knock No. 1,999 in the sixth inning and reached 2,000 hits on an RBI double in the eighth. Freeman is one of just six active players to reach the 2,000-hit milestone, joining Miguel Cabrera, Joey Votto, Nelson Cruz, Elvis Andrus and Andrew McCutchen. Among that group, Freeman is having by far the best campaign, slashing .317/.397/.549 with 14 homers, 48 RBI, 62 runs, 10 thefts and a league-leading 27 doubles.

Goes deep again Sunday Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday in an extra-innings loss to Houston.

Impact Smith homered for the second straight contest, slugging a game-tying two-run shot to center field in the bottom of the eighth inning. The star catcher continues to be a steady and potent force in the heart of the Dodgers' lineup, slashing .306/.479/.583 with three long balls, eight RBI, six runs and a 10:11 BB:K over his past 11 games. Smith's 1.12 BB/K ranks second behind only Luis Arraez among qualified major-league hitters this season.
