Jackson Ferris - Reaches Double-A at 20 Ferris has a 3.09 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 21:13 K:BB in 23.1 innings over six starts since getting promoted to Double-A Tulsa on Aug. 2.
Impact The 20-year-old southpaw was much more impressive through 20 starts for High-A Great Lakes, logging a 3.39 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 119 strikeouts in 98.1 innings. He threw 56 innings at Single-A in 2023 before getting traded from the Cubs to the Dodgers in the offseason deal that sent Michael Busch to Chicago. Ferris has built up to 121.2 innings and doesn't turn 21 until January, so this season has been a big success. He should return to Double-A next year and has the upside to keep climbing prospect rankings.

Jose Rodriguez - Strong finish for Loons Rodriguez has a 2.25 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 67 strikeouts in 56 innings across 16 appearances for High-A Great Lakes.
Impact Rodriguez has been even better of late, logging a 1.51 ERA and 0.91 WHIP over his last 11 appearances. A 6-foot-6 righty with a potentially plus changeup and quality slider, Rodriguez's delivery has some moving parts, but he hasn't issued more than two walks in an outing since June 25. Additionally, he logged a season-high six innings in his most recent start. Rodriguez is up to 90.2 innings on the year, which is a major increase from his previous best of 24.2 innings last season.

Tony Gonsolin - Beginning rehab assignment Gonsolin (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Impact It will be the right-hander's first game action since he underwent Tommy John surgery in September of 2023. A return for Gonsolin before the end of the season has not been ruled out, but if it happens he would be used in a relief role. The 30-year-old posted a 4.98 ERA over 20 starts for the Dodgers in 2023 prior to surgery.

Shohei Ohtani - Inches closer to 50-50 Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs and a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Cubs.
Impact Ohtani moved a little closer to the majors' first ever 50-50 season by recording his 47th theft of the campaign. The slugger also has 46 homers, putting him in reach of the historic mark with just under three weeks remaining in the regular season. Ohtani has recorded a home run and/or a stolen base in seven of his past 12 contests and is slashing .280/.339/.640 with five long balls, seven steals, seven RBI and 14 runs during that span.
SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Mookie Betts - Stays hot with homer Betts went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk Monday in a loss to the Cubs.
Impact Betts put the Dodgers on the board with a run-scoring single in the fifth inning and added a two-run shot to left field in the seventh. The All-Star right-fielder has hit safely in nine straight contests, collecting four multi-hit efforts over that span. During the hitting streak, Betts is slashing .394/.459/.909 with four homers, 12 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base.

Walker Buehler - Drops to 1-5 Buehler (1-5) took the loss against the Cubs on Monday, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four batters over five innings.
Impact Buehler fell behind 3-0 after one inning and gave up another run in the fourth. He began the sixth inning on the mound but allowed the first two hitters in the frame to reach base and was subsequently pulled. The right-hander has struggled since returning Aug. 14 from a nearly two-month stint on the injured list, posting a 6.14 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB over 22 innings across five starts. The Dodgers have remained committed to giving him an opportunity to round back into the form that made him their Opening Day starter in 2022, but he hasn't been able to put things together this season and isn't a lock to make the team's potential postseason roster.

Tyler Glasnow - Tossing another bullpen Tuesday Glasnow (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday followed by a simulated game Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact This is another step in the right direction for Glasnow, who successfully fired a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday. If he's able to get through Tuesday's bullpen and Friday's sim game without issue, the right-hander could be sent out on a rehab assignment as early as next week.

Brusdar Graterol - Expected back Wednesday Graterol (hamstring) will likely be activated from the 15-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Graterol has been out since Aug. 7 after suffering a Grade 3 right hamstring strain, but he's expected to be cleared for the team's final game of the series Wednesday if all goes according to plan. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the club deploy the right-hander in a few low-leverage situations upon his return, as he's logged one-third of an inning so far this season dating back to Aug. 6 against Philly.
