"The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks in brutal walk-off fashion, 5-4, after taking a four-run lead into the seventh inning. LA fell to 88-69 on the year as the magic number to win the NL West remains at 3. In other news, a roster move is incoming, (and perhaps some much-needed bullpen help) as right-hander Roki Sasaki looks to rejoin the active roster. The 23-year-old phenom has been sidelined since May with shoulder complications."
"Additionally, right-hander Blake Treinen's role moving forward is unclear as postseason baseball is less than a week away. Manager Dave Roberts has 'unwavering trust' in his reliever, but with an ERA of 11.57 during the month of September, the question of if he can still be an option in high-leverage situations as never been more glaring. Finally, San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado spoke highly of future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw."
