  • Designated for assignment
    Salazar was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Salazar was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday and he'll now be placed on waivers after being dropped from the Dodgers' 40-man roster. If he goes unclaimed, he'll likely remain with Oklahoma City. The Dodgers acquired reliever Yohan Ramirez via trade from the Mets on Monday and he'll replace Salazar on the 40-man roster and join Los Angeles ahead of their three-game series with the Diamondbacks.

  • Demoted to Triple-A
    Knack was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Knack filled in admirably Sunday in a spot start against the Reds, surrendering one run on three hits and one walk while fanning five over 4.2 innings. He'll be moved back to the minors to make room for Yohan Ramirez, who was acquired in a trade from the Mets earlier in the day. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Leaves start early
    Olson exited Monday's start against the Royals after being struck by a line drive in his right hip, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He surrendered two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over 2.2 innings before departing.

    Advice: Olson was forced to leave the game after being hit by a comebacker that registered at 102 mph off the bat, though he did attempt to fire a few warmup pitches before the training staff walked him off the field, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Beau Brieske entered the game to replace Olson in the bottom of the third inning. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Dodgers send Landon Knack to Triple-A
    Dodgers optioned RHP Landon Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: The move makes room for the newly acquired Yohan Ramírez on the roster. Knack had a fine 2.61 ERA in four starts for the Dodgers, but he wasn’t going to be needed this week with the team having Thursday off. He might rejoin the rotation at the beginning of next month, but the Dodgers could also have Bobby Miller close to returning by then. Rotoworld Today, 4:52 pm
     
  • Dodgers designate Eduardo Salazar for assignment
    Dodgers designated RHP Eduardo Salazar for assignment.

    Advice: Salazar had two quick stints with the Dodgers this season and allowed one unearned run in two innings. By clearing him from the 40-man, the Dodgers are picking Yohan Ramírez over giving Salazar an extended look. Rotoworld Today, 4:50 pm
     
  • Begins throwing off mound
    May (elbow) has started throwing off a mound at the Dodgers' team facility in Arizona, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: May has been slowly working his way back from the surgery underwent on his right flexor tendon and UCL in July. The right-hander will progressively increase his workload on the mound before he'll likely throw live batting practice and ultimately go on an extended minor-league rehab assignment. The organization will likely be especially cautious in their approach to May's recovery and his return to the majors is currently projected to come around the All-Star break.

  • Launching throwing program
    Kelly (shoulder) is set to begin his throwing program Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: Kelly has been on the 15-day injured list since May 6 with a right shoulder strain and he will now take the first step towards making his return. The right-hander will likely need to build up his workload and even potentially make a trip to the minors for a rehab assignment. Depending on how his shoulder responds to the beginning of his throwing program, Kelly will receive a timetable for his return, which currently appears to be at least a week away at the earliest.

  • Scheduled for sim game
    Miller (shoulder) is expected to throw a simulated game Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: Miller continues to make progress in his recovery after being sent to the 15-day injured list April 13 due to right shoulder inflammation. He successfully completed a bullpen session Saturday, and as expected, he's now been given the green light to toss a sim game. Miller will likely be sent out on a rehab assignment later in the week, assuming all goes well Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 4:33 pm
     
  • Joe Ross departs game with back strain
    Joe Ross left Monday’s game because of a strained lower back, according to the Brewers.

    Advice: Definitely better than some of the alternatives. The Brewers are off Thursday, so if Ross feels better quickly, the team might not need to replace him in the rotation. If he does go on the IL, either Bradley Blalock or Tobias Myers could replace him in the rotation. Rotoworld Today, 4:29 pm
