The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 to move to 76-57, powered by a strong outing from Clayton Kershaw and the return of Kiké Hernández. Outfielder Alex Call exited the game with an apparent lower-back issue; Manager Dave Roberts indicated the team will monitor his response to treatment and is not overly concerned. The club signed a 30-year-old right-handed veteran to a minor-league deal after Tommy John surgery and an absence since 2022. The Dodgers unexpectedly placed a key reliever on the injured list while reinstating Blake Snell from the paternity list. Max Muncy will begin a rehab assignment and is expected to return soon.
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds, 6-3, on Tuesday and improved to 76-57 on the year thanks to a Clayton Kershaw gem and the return of Kiké Hernández. During the game, however, outfielder Alex Call exited with an apparent injury. Manager Dave Roberts said he felt something in his lower back, but added he's not too concerned. "We'll see how he responds to treatment tomorrow," Roberts said," but I don't think it's too concerning."
The 30-year-old last played at the major league level in 2022, but has spent the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. Additionally, the Dodgers placed a key reliever on the injured list in what was a surprising move. Ahead of the eventual victory, LA reinstated Blake Snell off the paternity list, but at the expense of the southpaw landing on the IL, with no prior news regarding an injury.
