"They're in postseason mode, and it's not going back the other way."
Dodgers beat writers @ericstephen and @billplunkettocr stop by to chat with our Jim Hill at Dodgers workouts this evening.

“That was a painful swoon and it cost us the division, but to be part of that Ripken celebration when your team was struggling so badly took the pain away." #Angels, amid an epic collapse, got a reprieve during memorable night in Camden Yards 30 years ago.

Dave Roberts said Max Muncy is going on the injured list with an oblique strain
Roberts said it’s week-to-week, but they are hoping it’s not season-ending. Similar to what he battled last year, but more “mild,” per Roberts
Blake Treinen has completed his rehab. Will join the #Dodgers and be activated either Sunday or Monday (probably not available to pitch until Monday). Won't necessarily be "dedicated" closer. Use in highest-leverage situations
#Dodgers Michael Kopech had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, per source. That’s why he was moved to 60-day IL. Still expected back before end of season
Dave Roberts said #Dodgers are going to have Tommy Edman start taking ground balls at 3rd Base.
Miguel Rojas, Kiké Hernandez and Edman will be the trio to hold down that position while Muncy is out.
Max Muncy (left knee bone bruise) said he expects to be out around six weeks, give or take: "It was tough news, but it was also great news" because he'll be back this season.
MRI revealed no structural damage.
Heartbroken to share:
Baseball lost a giant. Scott Miller @ScottMillerBbl was a brilliant writer and an even better human. His gift for storytelling embodied his kind soul and heart.
I loved him, and so did all blessed to know him. Please keep Kim, Gretchen, and family in prayer
Stan Kasten: “Because of the events earlier today, we continue to work with groups that were involved with our programs. But we are going to have to delay today’s announcement while we firm up some more details. We’ll get back to you soon with the timing.”
Shohei Ohtani’s return to the mound means I want to reheat this story from 2021 on the most fascinating few minutes of Ohtani’s two-way prowess — the ability to shift from the mound to the plate and just how difficult it is to do at all, let alone well: https://t.co/ca7KQcfLWx
