Will Smith - On base three times Smith went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.
Impact Smith notched his fourth multi-hit effort over his last 10 games, a span during which he's hitting .303 with just a 3:4 BB:K. Smith has just five extra-base hits this month and needs one more home run to reach 20 for the third time in his career. For the season, he's slashing .248/.326/.431 with 72 RBI, 73 runs and a 49:104 BB:K in 530 plate appearances.

Landon Knack - Ineffective in loss Knack (3-5) took the loss Tuesday against Padres, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four in four innings.
Impact Knack was hit pretty hard in this one, allowing a second inning two-run homer to Jake Cronenworth and then a pair of doubles and a single in the fourth, which led to another two runs. Knack has allowed four home runs and owns a 5.82 ERA across four starts in September and is set for an unattractive matchup against the Rockies at Coors Field over the weekend.

Clayton Kershaw - Not ready to face hitters Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Kershaw (toe) won't face hitters this week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Roberts added that Kershaw will continue to throw bullpen sessions, though the manager's comments make it seem highly unlikely that the veteran lefty makes another appearance during the regular season. He still has a chance to contribute to the Dodgers' playoff run, though that will likely depend on how fast his toe heals and how far Los Angeles advances in the postseason.

Ben Casparius - Returns to Triple-A Casparius was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Impact Casparius will return to Oklahoma City after being called up Friday, pitching three innings of one-run ball, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out five batters in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Rockies. In a corresponding move, right-hander Edgardo Henriquez was called up from Triple-A on Tuesday.

Gavin Stone - Transferred to 60-day IL Stone (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Impact Stone was already expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 regular season and his move to the 60-day IL opens up a spot for Edgardo Hernandez on the 40-man roster. Stone is still working his way back from right shoulder inflammation and he'll now be unavailable for the postseason.

Max Muncy - Good to go Tuesday Muncy (side) is starting at third base and batting fifth Tuesday against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact The third baseman was scratched from the lineup Sunday against the Rockies due to side soreness, but he's ready to play following Monday's team off day. Muncy started off September by going 0-for-11, but he has a .286/.446/.643 slash line with three doubles, four homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs in his past 14 games.

Edgardo Henriquez - Gets the call-up The Dodgers called up Henriquez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Henriquez started the season in A-ball and has now reached his fifth level of baseball for the season. He now finds himself in the big leagues, propelled by his 104 mph fastball. In Triple-A Oklahoma City, the 22-year-old posted a 4.26 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in 12.2 innings across 14 games. While the right-hander was able to strikeout 18 batters in that span, he also walked 10. Henriquez was not on the 40-man roster ahead of the three game set against the Padres, so a corresponding move is imminent.
