X-rays negative X-rays on Barnes' right wrist came back negative Thursday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Barnes left Thursday's game against the Reds after taking a fastball to the hand, but he appears to have avoided a major injury. It's possible the Dodgers sideline Barnes for a few days to ensure he's fully-healed his next time out, but he should be able to avoid the IL.

Sent for X-rays on hand Barnes was sent for X-rays on his right hand Thursday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Impact The veteran catcher took an Ian Gibaut fastball off his hand in the ninth inning of the Dodgers' 6-0 win at Cincinnati on Thursday afternoon and manager Dave Roberts acknowledged afterward that it "didn't look good, didn't sound good." Los Angeles might have to make a 40-man roster move for a new backup to Will Smith if Barnes requires an IL stint.

Clayton Kershaw strikes out 9 in Dodgers' 6-0 win over Reds
Clayton Kershaw pitched seven scoreless innings, Chris Taylor hit his 10th home run of the season and the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds 6-0 on Thursday afternoonJUNE 8, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leaves after HBP Barnes exited Thursday's game against the Reds after taking a pitch off his right hand, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Barnes got struck by an Ian Gibaut fastball in the top of the ninth inning and was replaced at catcher by Will Smith to begin the bottom of the ninth. It could have just been a precautionary move with Los Angeles leading 6-0 and only three outs to get. Barnes finished the day 1-for-4 with an RBI double and a run scored.

Draws walk in debut DeLuca went 0-for-2 with a walk in a loss to Cincinnati on Wednesday.
Impact DeLuca started in center field in his first big-league game after getting called up Sunday. He lined out in each of his first two plate appearances and drew a walk in his third before David Peralta pinch hit for him in the ninth. DeLuca will likely fill the reserve outfielder role previously handled by Trayce Thompson (oblique) before the latter went on the IL. That likely means DeLuca will see only occasional starts, and he is in fact out of the lineup for Thursday's early contest against the Reds.

Impresses in big-league debut Robertson struck out three batters in two perfect innings against the Reds on Wednesday.
Impact Robertson got his first call-up to the majors Tuesday after posting a 2.13 ERA and 37:7 K:BB over 25.1 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The right-hander needed just 22 pitches to get through two frames in his first major-league appearance, tossing 15 strikes and punching out three batters. Robertson has closer-like stuff, including a fastball that tops out in the upper-90s, and he saved seven games for OKC before his promotion. He'll likely work in middle relief for now but could ascend up the pecking order in Los Angeles quickly given the team's bullpen struggles this season.

Will be brought back slowly Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Syndergaard will be built up slowly once his blister heals, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Syndergaard was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday morning due to a blister on his right index finger and the Dodgers will use this as a sort of season reset for him. He's struggled to a 7.16 ERA through 55.1 innings (12 starts) this year with Los Angeles and seems likely to remain on the shelf through at least the end of June. It's unclear whether there will be a rotation spot available to Syndergaard whenever he is ultimately deemed fit to return to a major-league mound.

Recalled from Triple-A Scott was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Scott was just optioned Tuesday, but he's back to replace the injured Noah Syndergaard (blister). He'll operate in middle relief.

Lands on IL with blister Syndergaard was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right index finger blister, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Syndergaard has dealt with a blister problem off and on for the last month or so and also cracked a fingernail during Wednesday's outing versus the Reds. He'll be eligible to return later this month, but this could offer an opportunity for a reset for the struggling Syndergaard. With Julio Urias (hamstring) due back soon, Syndergaard was probably going to lose his rotation spot, anyway.
JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Taking seat Thursday Smith is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Reds.
Impact It's a day game after a night game, so Smith will begin the afternoon on the bench. Austin Barnes will catch Clayton Kershaw.
JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Absent from lineup Rojas (neck) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Cincinnati.
Impact Rojas exited Wednesday's contest versus the Reds with neck tightness and will miss at least one start. The Dodgers will go with Chris Taylor at shortstop for Thursday's afternoon tilt.
