Dodgers' 2.63 ERA flamethrower trade deadline acquisition lands on IL at inopportune time
Dodgers' 2.63 ERA flamethrower trade deadline acquisition lands on IL at inopportune time originally appeared on The Sporting News The Los Angeles Dodgers have hit a rough patch lately, and with the regular season winding down, the Padres are quickly closing the gap in the standings. The race for the NL West looks like it will go down to the wire. For Max Muncy, being the defending World Series champions means they won't be getting any sympathy. 'It's not going well for us right now. We got to find a way to snap out of it. No one's going to feel sorry for us. So it's on us to find our way out of it, and we need to do it,' Muncy said. At the trade deadline, the Dodgers made a few moves to strengthen their bullpen. 'The Los Angeles Dodgers, who went into the deadline with a desire to add right-handed bullpen help, reached a deal to acquire Brock Stewart from the Minnesota Twins, it was announced Thursday. The Dodgers sent center fielder James Outman to the Twins as part of the trade,' ESPN's Aidan Gonzalez wrote. Unfortunately for L.A., Stewart was placed on the injured list Tuesday — not exactly ideal timing. 'The Los Angeles Dodgers are placing right-hander Brock Stewart on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Stewart has only made four appearances for LA, allowing two runs in 3.2 innings thus far,' SI's Gabe Smallson wrote. Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp The injury had been lingering, but the Dodgers are optimistic they acted early enough to avoid a longer-term issue. 'Stewart had been feeling the injury for about four days, and the Dodgers are hopeful that they caught it early enough that it will not be too serious,' Sonja Chen wrote. The Dodgers hope the injury isn't season-ending, as Stewart is expected to be a key piece of the bullpen during the postseason. Injuries at this stage can be especially damaging, particularly to a team's pitching depth. More clarity will come after test results, which could signal either a setback or a path to a quick return.

Walk-off loss to Angels puts Dodgers in first-place tie in NL West
The Dodgers finally had their storybook moment. Until the Angels rewrote it with a walk-off ending. In the top of the ninth inning at Angel Stadium on Tuesday night, Shohei Ohtani lifted the Dodgers to the verge of a badly needed win, breaking a tie score with the kind of moment that could have jump-started the stretch run of their season. With former Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen on the mound, and a split crowd in Anaheim rising to its feet, Ohtani blasted a go-ahead home run deep to right field. He flipped his bat. The Dodgers' dugout went wild. After so many recent blown leads and late-game meltdowns in recent weeks, the team was three outs away from finally turning the tide. Instead, the Dodgers found yet a new way to crumble. Once again, they let a winnable game go meekly by the wayside. In the bottom of the ninth, the Angels tied the score after Alex Vesia gave up a leadoff single, a walk and an eventual Nolan Schanuel sacrifice fly. Read more: More bad news for Dodgers' bullpen: Brock Stewart goes on the IL In the bottom of the 10th, they sealed their fifth-straight victory over the Dodgers this season on Jo Adell's big-bouncing, walk-off RBI single. A 7-6 loss for the Dodgers, that sent their spiraling season to a new dismal low. Now, the Dodgers have lost three in a row and 20 of 32 since July 4. Now, what was once a nine-game lead in the National League West has been completely obliterated. The Dodgers and San Diego Padres are tied atop the standings. The Padres will come to Dodger Stadium this weekend with all the momentum, where a scuffling Dodgers club will await them. Tuesday featured many more deflating subplots for the club. Emmet Sheehan gave up five runs in a five-inning start. The team erased one early two-run deficit, only to go down two runs again. The lineup left the bases loaded with the score tied to end the top of the fifth inning. Ohtani lined into a soul-crushing triple-play with two aboard in the sixth. But nothing will sting like the final two innings — when a potential turning-point moment instead resulted in more familiar heartache. Sign up for more Dodgers news with Dodgers Dugout.
