GAME LOG

INJURIES
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.

Settles for no-decision Tuesday Knack came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Rockies, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out two.
Impact The Dodgers gave the 27-year-old right-hander plenty of run support early, but Knack still got lifted after 65 pitches (41 strikes), two outs shy of qualifying for the win. With Tony Gonsolin (back) getting stretched out to 66 pitches in his rehab outing Tuesday, Knack -- who's saddled with a 7.27 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 7:6 K:BB through 8.2 big-league innings in 2025 -- may only be needed for one more turn through the Dodgers rotation, which would likely come on the road next week against the Cubs.

Dodgers' Dave Roberts Makes Announcement on Landon Knack Amid Struggles Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced that pitcher Landon Knack would stay in the rotation despite a rough outing.
APRIL 10, 2025 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Struggles to find plate Wednesday Knack didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Nationals after allowing five runs on four hits and four walks in 2.1 innings. He struck out two.
Impact Filling in for the injured Blake Snell (shoulder), Knack was working with a 4-0 lead in the first inning but gave up three runs in the bottom of the frame, highlighted by a CJ Abrams leadoff solo shot. After Luis Garcia chased Knack from the game with an RBI double in the third, Alex Call plated an inherited runner on a sacrifice fly. Provided he stays in the rotation, Knack would have a favorable bounce-back opportunity at home against Colorado in his next scheduled start in the middle of next week.

Called up ahead of start The Dodgers recalled Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Nationals.
Impact Knack earned a win while working in relief in the Dodgers' second game of the season back on March 19 in Tokyo, but he hasn't pitched for the big club since it resumed playing domestically. However, with Blake Snell (shoulder) going on the injured list Sunday and with the Dodgers electing to expand their rotation to six men this week, Knack will be called upon to make his first start of the season with Los Angeles. Though he struggled in his three postseason relief appearances last fall, Knack showed impressive poise for a rookie during the 2024 regular season, making 15 appearances (12 starts) for the Dodgers and logging a 3.65 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 69:18 K:BB over 69 innings. With a decent showing Wednesday, Knack should be able to stick around and make multiple turns through the rotation until the Dodgers get more of their starting pitchers back from injury.

Appears poised to make start Knack appears in line to start Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had indicated previously that they would use a spot starter or a bullpen game Wednesday. Knack has joined the team on the road, so it looks like he'll take the ball Wednesday. The 27-year-old made 12 starts among 15 regular-season appearances with the big club as a rookie last year, posting a 3.65 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with a 69:18 K:BB over 69 innings. Knack spun two scoreless frames and picked up a win versus the Cubs in the second game of last month's Tokyo series.

Optioned after picking up win The Dodgers optioned Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.
Impact Knack struck out three over two scoreless innings and picked up a win in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs in the second game of the Tokyo Series. However, it appears he will not be included on the Dodgers' roster for their domestic opener. Knack should operate as a starter with Oklahoma City but could rejoin the Dodgers later in the season either in the rotation or bullpen.

Stretching out as starter Knack has been building up as a starter this spring, though he could be slated for a long-relief role, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Impact Knack has started two of the three Cactus League contests in which he's pitched, compiling a 6.23 ERA, 2.08 WHIP and 4:2 K:BB over 4.1 innings. The right-hander made 12 starts among 15 regular-season appearances with the big club as a rookie last year, posting a 3.65 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with a 69:18 K:BB over 69 innings. The team rebuilt its pitching staff during the offseason, however, and both Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin are healthy after neither pitched in the majors while recovering from injuries in 2024. May, Gonsolin and Knack are all candidates to claim the final spot in Los Angeles' rotation, but Knack is likely third in the pecking order among the trio.

Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki are just the start: All of Dodgers' 2025 starting rotation options

Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki are just the start: All of Dodgers' 2025 starting rotation options
Saves Dodgers bullpen Knack gave the Dodgers four innings in bulk relief in Tuesday's Game 4 loss to the Yankees, allowing one run on two hits and a walk, striking out two.
Impact The Dodgers found themselves down 5-2 after Daniel Hudson allowed Anthony Volpe's grand slam in the third inning, so Knack's four innings allowed manager Dave Roberts his remaining high-leverage relievers. Knack could be in contention for a fifth starter's role or a bulk reliever role in 2025.
