Dodgers Lose Ohtani, Promote De Paula

The Dodgers are placing Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list and calling up top prospect Josue De Paula from Double-A to temporarily take his place at designated hitter, manager Dave Roberts said. Roberts acknowledged "anything should be on the table" for the two-way star, including an IL stint, after Ohtani was out of the lineup for the sixth time with right arm trouble. Sources told ESPN that De Paula was expected to join the club Friday as the team weighed its options.

Brewers Option Sproat After Rough Ninth

Milwaukee sent pitcher Brandon Sproat back to Triple-A Nashville after he allowed four runs in the ninth inning of an 8-6 victory over the Cubs, a performance the club deemed unacceptable. The move underscores how thin the margin is for relievers on a contending roster.

Yankees Shuffle Infield as Chisholm Lands on IL

Anthony Volpe rejoined the Yankees on Thursday after the team placed second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a thumb sprain. Manager Aaron Boone announced the move Wednesday, confirming the sprained right thumb would sideline Chisholm for at least 10 days.

Orioles Place Alexander, Await Henderson

Baltimore placed versatile infielder Blaze Alexander on the 10-day injured list and is hopeful shortstop Gunnar Henderson can recover quickly from a knee injury that kept him out of the starting lineup. Henderson is considered day-to-day.

Athletics Lose Two Top Prospects

The Athletics are losing two top prospects to injury: infielder Leo De Vries (shoulder) and pitcher Jamie Arnold, who was hit in the face by a line drive. Both are out indefinitely, a painful setback for a rebuilding organization counting on its farm system.
