Injuries have played a significant role in the Dodgers' recent struggles with major losses like Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, Yoshinobu Yamamoto contributing to the first month with a losing record since March/April 2018.
"They made some additions, they're feeling good," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "They're playing great baseball. Probably the month of July, they've played as good of baseball as anybody in all of the Major Leagues. So they're certainly feeling good about themselves, absolutely."
The Padres were aggressive at the trade deadline, adding significant relief pitching to improve a bullpen that had been middle of the pack. San Diego certainly paid a significant price, but they added the two best bullpen arms traded at the deadline in Tanner Scott and Jason Adam.
Dodgers trade deadline acquisitions of Jack Flaherty, Tommy Edman, Amed Rosario and Michael Kopech should help stop the bleeding until the team as a whole can continue to get healthier.
