Teoscar Hernández - Resumes swinging bat Hernandez (adductor) has been hitting in the cage and is slated to take live at-bats during the Dodgers' next homestand, which begins Tuesday, per MLB.com.

Impact This is a positive development for Los Angeles and fantasy managers who roster Hernandez after the All-Star outfielder was placed on the IL with a Grade 1 adductor strain this past Tuesday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Hernandez could be ready to return in two weeks, and that lines up with the expectation that he'll resume taking live at-bats next week. While Hernandez has been out, Andy Pages has been playing right field while recent call-up James Outman has mostly been handling center field.

Dustin May - Quality start in loss May (1-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact May earned his third quality start of the season with his longest outing in 2025, but he didn't get any run support. The Dodgers managed just seven baserunners in the contest and couldn't scrape together a run, leaving May to take his second loss in a row. He's allowed 16 runs over 22.2 innings across his last four starts. Overall, the right-hander has a 4.08 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB across 39.2 innings through seven starts. May's start next week will be at home, either against the Athletics or the Angels, depending on how the Dodgers align their rotation after Roki Sasaki struggled Friday in his first taste of pitching on five days' rest.

Pavin Smith - Racks up three hits in win Smith went 3-for-4 with an RBI double in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Smith was the only player to have a multi-hit effort in this contest. He's 4-for-7 over his last two games, but prior to that, he went 0-for-17 across the previous eight contests. The 29-year-old is up to a .302/.442/.531 slash line, four home runs, 10 RBI, 19 runs scored, 10 doubles and a stolen base over 120 plate appearances. Smith is in a strong-side platoon role, primarily as a designated hitter with a little time at first base this year.

Tim Tawa - Two steals in Saturday's win Tawa went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Tawa got the start in left field Saturday -- it was his first major-league start anywhere other than second base. He has often provided cover for Ketel Marte at the keystone as his veteran teammate gets regular rest to avoid aggravating a hamstring issue. Tawa is up to four steals on the year, and he's added five home runs, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, two doubles and a .203 batting average over 82 plate appearances. He's gone 4-for-14 (.286) over six games in May.

Ryne Nelson - Back in bullpen Saturday Nelson struck out one over two perfect innings to earn the save in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Nelson's last outing was a spot start Monday versus the Mets, in which he allowed two runs over 4.1 innings while covering the absence of Corbin Burnes (shoulder). Burnes returned to the mound Saturday and delivered seven shutout innings, and Nelson was able to close out the win, needing just 16 pitches (11 strikes) over the last two frames. While Nelson got this save, he's unlikely to be a regular in the high-leverage mix. He likely got the late-inning assignment Saturday because five of Arizona's other relievers had pitched at least once over the previous two days, while he was fresh. Nelson has a 5.01 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 23:8 K:BB, 1-1 record, one save and one blown save across 23.1 innings this season. He should settle back into a long-relief role.

River Ryan - Making progress in recovery Ryan (elbow) has resumed throwing off a mound but hasn't yet progressed to full bullpen sessions, per MLB.com.

Impact Ryan is making gradual progress from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last August. A return to the big-league roster near the end of the regular season is a possibility if Ryan continues to proceed without any setbacks, but it's not a guarantee that he'll pitch for the Dodgers this season given the nature of his procedure.
