The Los Angeles Dodgers have been issued a warning regarding their top target ahead of the MLB trade deadline.

The right‑hander’s right shoulder issues resurface, jeopardizing his return this season. Meanwhile Kiké Hernandez and anthem singer Nezza speak out amid local protest climate.

According to ESPN's Alden Gonzalez, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Ohtani will throw a simulated game in the coming days, and it could "potentially" be his last. Ohtani could also join the pitching rotation "sooner rather than later," possibly within the next week.

Amid protests against ICE in Los Angeles, singer Nezza performed the Spanish version of the national anthem at Dodger Stadium despite a team official's request for the English version.

As Shohei Ohtani works towards returning to the mound, his Dodgers teammate wants him to keep another priority in mind.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki has paused his throwing program after experiencing discomfort, and there is currently no timeline for when he will resume, per the Orange County Register's Bill Plunkett.

Despite that, Zach Presnell believes that the Dodgers could cut ties with a former All-Star in the form of Tony Gonsolin, a right-hander who has proven throughout his career to have above-average stuff.

Sasaki has not pitched since May 9 due to a shoulder impingement. Even before he was shut down, he struggled to adjust to MLB, having posted a 4.72 ERA with 22 walks and 24 strikeouts in 34.1 innings of work. At times, the 23-year-old looked genuinely overwhelmed during his first few starts.

As they look to extend that league in the series finale against the Giants on Sunday Night Baseball, manager Dave Roberts gave an update on one much-needed pitcher. Emmet Sheehan hasn't played in a game for the Dodgers since making a start in the 2023 postseason against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
