Dodgers @ Angels May 17, 2026: Sasaki and the Dodgers look for a sweep in Anaheim - Dodgers Digest
"The Dodgers (28-18) scored a season-high 15 runs last night for a 15-2 win and a fourth consecutive win. Today, they have a chance for their first sweep since they swept the Mets on April 13-15 and only their second five-game winning streak of 2026."
"Roki Sasaki gets the ball for the Dodgers against the formerly highly-touted Orioles prospect Grayson Rodriguez, who makes his Angel debut after missing a couple months in 2024 and all of 2025 with arm injuries. Mookie Betts and get days off for the Dodgers heading into a series in San Diego starting tomorrow, with Miguel Rojas starting at short and Dalton Rushing behind the plate."
"The Dodgers made a few roster moves today. Jack Dreyer was placed on the IL with some shoulder discomfort. Imaging showed some inflammation, but the Dodgers think this could be a minimum stay on the IL (see you in 2030 Dreyer). Charlie Barnes was optioned after pitching in each of the first two games of this series. Paul Gervase returns and Chayce McDermott gets his first call up with the Dodgers after appearing in five games with Baltimore over the last two seasons."
"Dodgers make it official: they acquired Eric Lauer from the Blue Jays for cash considerations. To make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred RHP Brusdar Graterol to the 60-day IL. Lauer has a 4.26 career ERA, but a 2.90 in 13 career starts against the Dodgers. The former Padre and Brewer posted a career-best 3.18 ERA in 28 appearan"
The Dodgers defeated the Angels 15-2 with a season-high 15 runs and extended their winning streak to four games. They have a chance to sweep the series for the first time since sweeping the Mets in mid-April and for only their second five-game winning streak of 2026. Roki Sasaki starts for Los Angeles against Grayson Rodriguez, who makes his Angels debut after missing significant time in 2024 and all of 2025 with arm injuries. Mookie Betts and others receive rest, with Miguel Rojas at short and Dalton Rushing behind the plate. Jack Dreyer was placed on the IL with shoulder discomfort, Charlie Barnes was optioned, Paul Gervase returns, and Chayce McDermott is called up. Eric Lauer was acquired from Toronto for cash, and Brusdar Graterol was moved to the 60-day IL to clear a roster spot.
