Dodgers News
Blake Snell's sudden activation from Triple-A reaffirms the Dodgers' commitment to shoring up their pitching staff, although fans might still be reeling from Tyler Glasnow's unfortunate stint on the injured list due to back spasms. Meanwhile, Freddie Freeman's 100th home run as a Dodger was a sweet moment, especially as it came against his former team, the Braves, in a solid 3-1 victory. Emmet Sheehan's promising start and the bullpen's strong performance indicate that the pitching depth is holding up, despite the injury setbacks. On a less celebratory note, Michael Conforto's rise with the Cubs has Dodger fans wondering about missed opportunities, as he flourishes in a way that could haunt the franchise. With a 23-14 record, the Dodgers are in a good place, but they need to keep tightening their game as they face the Braves in the coming days.
