Hello everybody, you’re stuck with me again today as the Dodgers conclude their series against the Braves.
To varying degrees, the starting pitching matchup of Justin Wrobleski and Bryce Elder both look to avoid regression.

No real surprises, except that Teoscar Hernandez‘s day off might be indicative of his production more than something routine, as Alex Call gets the nod.
Dave Roberts said it’s a schedule day off Teoscar Hernández today, with Alex Call in LF
However, Roberts also said they could give Teo more days off moving forward as he tries to “work things out” amid an early slump (he’s hitting .196 in last 26 games & just .238 on the year)

Paul Gervase did his job yesterday by getting three innings, and he’s now being optioned for Wyatt Mills, which is something of a surprise since he requires a 40-man addition. That spot will be Edwin Diaz going to the 60-day IL, which is not a surprise.
The Dodgers selected the contract of RHP Wyatt Mills and optioned RHP Paul Gervase. In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred RHP Edwin Díaz to the 60-day injured list.

Mookie Betts is probably back tomorrow.
Dave Roberts said he expects Mookie Betts to make his way back to LA tomorrow with a target to be back in the lineup on Monday.

Again, this should lead to the first domino to fall in the infield roster crunch.

Rubber match time.
