The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies, 9-5, on Thursday afternoon behind Clayton Kershaw's fourth straight win and home runs by Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages. LA improved to 73-55 on the year. Additionally, superstar Shohei Ohtani has an update on his injury. The two-way star was struck by a line drive during his start on Wednesday, but had already planned on Thursday being his off day.
Speaking of the series against the Padres, the Dodgers are set to activate a high-leverage reliever off of the injured list ahead of Friday's game. The former Friars closer will certainly have an added layer of drama to what will surely be an intense weekend. Finally, the Dodgers made a roster move, sending down a pitcher that was called-up very recently. After just two innings on Wednesday, the 6-foot-10 right-hander will head back down to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
