Fans two in return Knebel pitched two-thirds of an inning against Philadelphia on Tuesday, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two.

Impact The veteran reliever made his return to the mound after missing nearly four months with a lat injury. Knebel allowed the first two battered he faced to reach base but rebounded by striking out Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto. The right-hander may work in lower-leverage situations for the time being while he shakes the rust from his long layoff, but he could eventually be a factor in the late innings ahead of closer Kenley Jansen.

Returns from extended absence The Dodgers reinstated Knebel (lat) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Los Angeles cleared room for Knebel on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster by placing Joe Kelly (undisclosed) on the COVID-19-related IL. Knebel, who had been sidelined since late April with a strained lat, was cleared to rejoin the Dodgers are a stellar six-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City in which he permitted one run on four hits and a walk while striking out 11 over 5.2 innings. The Dodgers could immediately turn to Knebel to fill a key setup role in front of closer Kenley Jansen, especially with one of their more trusted late-inning arms in Kelly now on the shelf.

Due back Tuesday Manager Dave Roberts said Knebel (lat) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Dodgers signed off on Knebel's return from a three-plus-month absence after he checked out fine following a six-appearance rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Prior to being shelved with a right lat strain, Knebel looked to be the next man up for closing duties behind Kenley Jansen, as he notched three holds and two saves across his first eight appearances with the Dodgers. Given the length of Knebel's absence, Roberts may prefer to break the right-hander back in as a low-leverage reliever before trusting him in bigger spots in the late innings.

Eyeing return next week Knebel (lat) could be activated during next week's series in Philadelphia, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact A lat strain has sidelined Knebel since late April, at which point he had appeared in eight games for the Dodgers and posted a 4.50 ERA with nine strikeouts and three walks. The righty will presumably be eased into higher-leverage situations once activated, but he certainly has the stuff to be one of the bullpen's best late-innings options.

Tosses third rehab outing Knebel (lat) completed two-thirds of an inning for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. He hit one batter and allowed a double while striking out two in the scoreless outing.

Impact The reliever threw 16 of 22 pitches for strikes and fanned the final two batters he faced after the first two hitters reached base. Knebel is now through three appearances in his rehab stint, and he has yet to give up a run while striking out six batters over 2.2 frames. He could rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen within a week.

Heading to OKC for rehab Knebel (lat) will make his first rehab appearance for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Impact Knebel will be making his first appearance in affiliated ball since late April after the Dodgers shut him down for three months following a diagnosis of a right lat strain. Given his prolonged shutdown, Knebel will likely require multiple appearances at Oklahoma City to get ramped up before the Dodgers bring him back from the 60-day IL. If Knebel proves that he can quickly recapture his pre-injury form, he could slot into a key setup role once he returns to the Dodgers.
