Saddled with second loss Knack (2-2) took the loss in Sunday's contest against the Mets. He yielded three runs (one earned) on four hits and no walks over six innings with five strikeouts.

Impact The Los Angeles right-hander secured his first quality start of the season with this 91-pitch performance in Queens. After allowing two unearned runs on a Pete Alonso homer in the opening frame, Knack handcuffed the Mets across the next five innings, allowing just one run on three hits. With this effort, Knack lowered his season ERA from 6.17 to 5.22 across 29.1 innings. The 27-year-old should continue to stick in the Dodgers rotation either as a starter or bulk reliever. He currently lines up for a difficult test in his next appearance, scheduled to be against the Yankees at home next weekend.

Struggles early in bulk-relief turn Knack allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings of relief Monday versus the Dodgers. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Jack Dreyer was tagged for three runs over the first two innings, and Knack wasn't any better when he took over for the third. All four runs were scored in that frame, as Knack yielded two-run homers to Lourdes Gurriel and Gabriel Moreno before settling in. Knack still finished with 106 pitches (68 strikes), which helped spare the Dodgers' bullpen in the loss. Knack is struggling to put it together in his second big-league season, posting a 6.17 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB across 23.1 innings. With none of the Dodgers' injured starting pitchers close to a return, expect Knack to make another appearance over the weekend versus the Mets, though it remains to be seen if he'll start or follow an opener again.

Following opener Monday Knack will be used in bulk relief Monday versus the Diamondbacks, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

Impact Jack Dreyer is slated to serve as an opener before turning things over to Knack. The 27-year-old Knack allowed five runs over 4.2 innings against the Athletics his last time out but struck out eight while walking only one.

Likely to stick in rotation Knack is likely to serve as the Dodgers' fifth starter in the short term, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

Impact The Dodgers' rotation has been consistently shuffled early this season, and that continued with Roki Sasaki (shoulder) being placed on the injured list and Clayton Kershaw (toe) nearing activation. Those moves would still leave them one starter short, and Knack appears to be the preferred option over the likes of Ben Casparius and Matt Sauer. Knack has a 5.89 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with a more impressive 20:8 K:BB across 18.1 innings this season.

Struggles against Athletics Knack (2-1) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out eight over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Athletics.

Impact Knack was taken deep twice by Jacob Wilson in this contest, and that ended up being more than enough to stick the right-hander with his first loss of the year. He's posted a 5.89 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB across 18.1 innings over five appearances (four starts) in the majors. The strikeout totals are tantalizing, but he'll need to improve his run prevention to earn widespread interest in fantasy. Knack could have been at risk of losing his place in the Dodgers' six-man rotation when Clayton Kershaw (toe) returns to action Saturday, but Roki Sasaki (shoulder) landed on the injured list Tuesday, so Knack's role should be safe for now. Knack is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Diamondbacks next week.

Drawing another start Knack is listed as the Dodgers' starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Athletics in Los Angeles.

Impact Clayton Kershaw (toe) is poised to return from the 60-day injured list Sunday, but the Dodgers are expected to keep a six-man rotation intact this week. With Ben Casparius returning to a relief role over the weekend, Knack will end up sticking around as the Dodgers' sixth starter after an impressive return to the big leagues against the Marlins this past Wednesday, when he struck out five over five scoreless frames. Another strong showing against the Athletics would likely put Knack in position to maintain a starting role until one of Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) or Blake Snell (shoulder) return from the IL or until Shohei Ohtani is deemed ready to pitch in games.

Five scoreless frames in spot start Knack (2-0) earned the win against the Marlins on Wednesday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out five across five scoreless innings.

Impact Knack was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Wednesday's start. He ended up going five frames while tossing 75 pitches (49 strikes) and generating nine whiffs, and Matt Sauer finished things off for the Dodgers with a four-inning save. Knack now has a 4.61 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 13.2 innings, and he could stick around with the big club as a spot starter or bulk reliever.

Recalled before Wednesday's outing The Dodgers recalled Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Impact Knack will be the Dodgers' primary pitcher Wednesday in Miami, although it hasn't been revealed yet whether it will be as a traditional starter or bulk reliever. The right-hander has yielded seven runs with a 7:6 K:BB over 8.2 innings covering two starts and one relief appearance with the big club in 2025.

Set to pitch Wednesday Knack is scheduled to be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City to pitch in Wednesday's game against the Marlins, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Impact The right-hander joined the Dodgers as a member of the taxi squad Tuesday and will make his four MLB appearance of the season a day later. Manager Dave Roberts said a decision has yet to be made on whether Knack will start the contest or follow an opener. The 27-year-old has given up seven earned runs with a 7:6 K:BB across 8.2 big-league frames this year.

Joins team in Miami Knack has joined the Dodgers in Miami and is a candidate to start Wednesday's game, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Knack has not been added to the active roster and the Dodgers have not divulged pitching plans for Wednesday's series finale, but Knack is a logical candidate to take the ball that day, whether it's as a traditional starter or bulk reliever. The righty has yielded seven runs with a 7:6 K:BB over 8.2 innings covering two starts and one relief appearance with the big club in 2025.

MAY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Impact The move is to make room on 26-man roster for the Dodgers to recall Bobby Miller from Triple-A, who will start in Wednesday's series finale against the Rockies. Knack went 1-0 across three games (two starts) for the Dodgers and registered a 7.27 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 7:6 K:BB across 8.2 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander will head to Triple-A but could return to the big club should the Dodgers need depth in the rotation.
