Dodgers Rotation Shuffle

Tarik Skubal authored a "great outing" Saturday, overcoming a shaky first inning that put the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 3-0 hole. The two-time Cy Young Award winner rebounded to fan 11 and earn his first win with the two-time defending World Series champions, who rallied for the victory.

Injury Report

Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove left Saturday night's game against the Braves with a sprained right ankle after slipping on the dugout steps. The severity remains unclear, but the club will evaluate him further. Yankees slugger Aaron Judge suffered a "moderate grade" left calf strain while rehabbing a right calf strain, putting his return this season in jeopardy, per manager Aaron Boone. Meanwhile, Ryan Weathers exited New York's 4-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in the fourth inning with left forearm discomfort during his 26th start of the season.

Mariners Walk It Off

Rookie Bryce Miller had an up-and-down debut, allowing three runs in 5⅔ innings for Seattle, but the Mariners still pulled out a 5-4 win over the Cubs. Randy Arozarena delivered the decisive blow, a two-run home run in the ninth inning to walk it off.

Reds History

Brent Bleday of the Cincinnati Reds hit for the cycle Saturday night in his first four at-bats against the Arizona Diamondbacks, becoming the first Reds player to accomplish the feat in a single game since 2019.

Dodgers Superstar Update

Shohei Ohtani faced teammate Will Smith in live batting practice Saturday, but there's no definitive timeline for the two-way superstar to return to pitching for the Dodgers. Ohtani said he's "getting there" after acing a 30-pitch test, though the team remains cautious with his workload.
