The Los Angeles Dodgers made notable roster changes, recalling Matt Sauer from Triple-A and placing Evan Phillips on the 15-day injured list with forearm discomfort. Phillips is experiencing his second IL stint this season after recovering from a right rotator cuff strain that led to a partial tear in 2024. Despite performing well this year, concerns regarding his forearm injury are significant due to the risk of Tommy John surgery. Sauer, who has previously contributed effectively, returns to help the team amid these injuries.
Phillips heads to the IL for the second time this season after missing 21 games; he previously dealt with a right rotator cuff strain.
A forearm injury is particularly concerning, as they are often a precursor to Tommy John surgery, but this is not always the case.
Matt Sauer returns for his third stint with the Dodgers, previously earning a 2.70 ERA in 6.2 innings this season.
Sauer impressed in his start, allowing just one run on five hits and collecting four strikeouts, earning praise from manager Dave Roberts.
