LAD's +150 run differential leads the NL West by 161 runs over SD's -11. Sheehan (5.32 ERA) starts tonight against King (3.33 ERA), a matchup where LAD's rotation depth advantage compounds their 10-game edge in the division race.
LAD leads NL West at 52-29 with a +144 run differential and 7-3 L10 record, but rotation depth is questionable—Sasaki (4.76 ERA), Lauer (4.87 ERA), and Sheehan (5.32 ERA) combine for a 0.313+ xwOBA, meaning Yamamoto (2.65 ERA) and Ohtani (1.58 ERA) are carrying considerable weight.
Justin Wrobleski Developing As Dodgers Rotation Depth
No 2026 season stats available for Wrobleski to evaluate current performance. LAD rotation is anchored by Yamamoto (2.65 ERA, 7-5) and Ohtani (1.58 ERA, 3-2), leaving unclear where Wrobleski fits in the existing depth chart.
Voth's 9.90 ERA in limited work made the move inevitable for Minnesota's 38-43 rotation. Raya enters with no MLB track record while the Twins face the Dodgers tonight with Joe Ryan (2.99 ERA) anchoring the start.
Teoscar Hernandez begins rehab assignment, eligible for late June return
Hernandez could rejoin a Dodgers lineup that's 49-28 with a +144 run differential but has gone 1-1 in his last two games. LAD's outfield depth will benefit from his return, though timing against Oakland (June 29) comes late in the month.
Athletics Acquire Hayden Juenger, Designate Brett Harris For Assignment
Juenger arrives with a 13.50 ERA and 2.00 WHIP across 2.0 IP—minimal depth upgrade for Oakland's bullpen. Harris played just 5 games (.032 xBA) before the DFA, so this is routine roster churn for a 40-42 team.
Daniel Susac: Back tightness forces early exit vs. Athletics
Susac exited Thursday's game in the sixth inning with back tightness. The Giants are 33-46 and struggling offensively (322 RS, 4th in NL West), making any impact bat unavailable a compounding problem in a depleted lineup.
Barlow posted a 6.48 ERA in limited work after signing a $2MM deal in February. Oakland's bullpen now turns to depth arms as the team sits 3-7 over its last 10 games with a -57 run differential.
Gelof was hitting .282/.298/.498 before the right hand contusion, but the Athletics' lineup depth is thin with a -57 run differential and 3-7 record over their last 10 games. Alika Williams (.289 AVG, .218 OBP in limited action) takes his spot.
Barlow exits Oakland's bullpen with a 6.48 ERA and 0.359 xwOBA after minimal action. The A's rotation remains anchored by Severino (4.17 ERA, 9.34 K/9) and Civale (4.91 ERA, 5-2), but the team sits 38-39 with a -52 run differential and needs depth depth relief depth.
