“It definitely takes a toll on your body,” Jansen said. “It’s not a virus to play around with.”
Kenley Jansen says he feels stronger every week, but he’s still feeling the effects from the coronavirus. The biggest affect has been on his conditioning, as he still gets shortness of breath at times, more than a month after testing positive.
“All those months you work out so hard, then you have to shut it down for two weeks. Still today, I’m...

“We don’t feel he’s ready right now, and we let Gavin know that,” Dave Roberts said.
When the Dodgers needed a position player to provide coverage for their various nagging injuries, on Wednesday they first turned to Zach McKinstry rather than preseason National League Rookie of the Year favorite Gavin Lux, for a couple of reasons.
This isn’t a starting role, and it sure sounds like a temporary one for McKinstry, especially with active rosters...

Dodgers have 14 position players, 16 pitchers in the final day of 30-player rosters
The Dodgers made a roster move before Wednesday’s series finale against the Padres in San Diego, calling up utility man Zach McKinstry and optioning pitcher Victor Gonzalez to the club’s alternate training site at USC.
The only question is how long McKinstry will stay.
Active rosters will shrink from 30 to 28 players on Thursday, and Gonzalez was almost certainly one of the...
The Dodgers have promoted utilityman Zach McKinstry to the active roster, per a club announcement. He’ll take the roster spot of southpaw Victor Gonzalez, who was optioned down.

A closer look at bullpen usage in the early going for the Dodgers
The Dodgers closed out their win over the Padres on Tuesday with three of the usual suspects out of the bullpen. Pedro Baez in the seventh, Blake Treinen in the eighth, and Kenley Jansen in the ninth all tossed scoreless frames.
Baez and Jansen both pitched on one day rest, which is completely normal. But in the early going of the truncated pandemic season, those outings stood...

“I think they got it right,” Dave Roberts says.
Active roster limits across Major League Baseball on Thursday morning will shift from 30 to 28 players, as planned. But instead of moving back to the originally-planned 26-player limit on Aug. 20, active rosters are expected to remain at 28 players for the remainder of the season.
Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic first reported the change, agreed to by MLB players and owners on Thursday, which was confirmed...

Late offense support Dustin May’s best start of the season
Runs were in short supply early at Petco Park on Tuesday, but the Dodgers pounced on a pair of Padres mistakes and tacked on late in a 5-2 win in the second game of the series.
Dinelson Lamet held the Dodgers hitless until the sixth, when Cody Bellinger followed a two-out hit by pitch with a soft single to center field. Corey Seager, the Dodgers’ hottest hitter, scorched a 102.8-mph single to...

Corey Seager starts another game at DH while dealing with a sore quad
Mookie Betts is out of the lineup for a second straight game with a bruised middle finger on his left hand, and Corey Seager is the Dodgers’ designated hitter for a second straight night as he deals with a sore quad.
Betts injured his middle finger on a swing in Sunday’s game, and though he homered later in that at-bat, eventually exited the game. He didn’t start Monday and tried...

A lot happened across the MLB yesterday
Happy Tuesday, everyone. Here’s what happened across baseball yesterday in case you missed any of it.
Probably the biggest piece of news on the field was Mike Soroka, one of the best young starting pitchers in the National League. He tore his right achilles and is done for the season.
Braves starter Mike Soroka leaves today's game after falling to the ground while attempting to cover 1st base. He was helped...

Bullpen blows this one for LA
The Dodgers had the lead after one pitch, as Joc Pederson connected for a solo home run. They couldn’t hold that lead, as two runs allowed by the bullpen proved to be the difference maker in LA’s 5-4 loss to the Padres on Monday night.
It was all tied up at three a piece in the bottom of the sixth. Brusdar Graterol, who has looked good for the Dodgers this season, allowed two runs to score in the bottom half of the...

He’ll hopefully return soon
Mookie Betts exited yesterday’s game with soreness in his middle finger on his left hand. He’s not in the lineup today in San Diego, and according to manager Dave Roberts, there is ‘substantial’ swelling. He hasn’t ruled him out for tomorrow’s game, but said they’ll see how he feels tomorrow.
Betts hurt the finger on a normal swing during his at bat on Sunday in which he homered. A few pitches prior he...
