LOS ANGELES — As the final week of the regular season approaches, the Los Angeles Dodgers are evaluating their roster ahead of the postseason. Blake Snell, who is recovering from left groin discomfort, is set to start on Saturday against the Giants. Tarik Skubal will take his place in Friday's game at Oracle Park. Meanwhile, reliever Will Klein and pitcher Dalton Rushing have been battling through various ailments.
Klein is on the 60-day injured list with elbow discomfort, while Rushing is dealing with elbow discomfort from practice.
Manager Dave Roberts emphasized the importance of getting both players healthy and ready for the postseason. Klein will throw during the week off, and Roberts hopes to assess his eligibility later in the postseason. Regarding Rushing, Roberts stated that he would be activated at some point this week to help the team regain their rhythm.
As for the upcoming roster decisions, Roberts mentioned that activating both Ohtani and Rushing simultaneously would require two corresponding roster moves. If De Paula doesn't get sent down, this could mean tough news for Alexes Call and Freeland.
