Dodgers Injury Update: LA Makes Flurry of Roster Moves For Padres SeriesThe Dodgers made a series of moves prior to first pitch on Friday against the San Diego Padres that include Chris Taylor, Clayton Kershaw, J...
Ryan Pepiot - Could get Kershaw's spotPepiot is no longer listed as Saturday's starting pitcher for Triple-A Oklahoma City, and it's possible he will make his next start next week for the big club with Clayton Kershaw...
ImpactThe Dodgers have the option of going with a four-man rotation until Aug. 16 in Milwaukee, but they could also give everyone some extra rest next week and add Pepiot to the rotation at some point in the two-game series at home against the Twins on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Pepiot has a 3.20 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 17 strikeouts and seven walks in 19.2 innings over his last three starts at Triple-A. He has electric stuff, but sometimes his control can abandon him, so Pepiot is a high-risk/high-reward option whenever he makes MLB spot starts.

Reyes Moronta - Back in big leaguesMoronta was recalled by the Dodgers on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
ImpactMoronta owns a 2.70 ERA and a 37.0 percent strikeout rate in 10 Triple-A innings, but he's been unable to repeat that success at the major-league level. In 17.1 frames, he's struggled to a 4.67 ERA as his ERA has dropped to a merely good 27.0 percent. He's unlikely to pitch in high-leverage innings for now.
