Daniel Hudson - Falters in eighth frame Thursday Hudson (6-2) blew a save and took the loss against the Brewers on Thursday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.
Impact Los Angeles carried a one-run lead into the eighth inning, and manager Dave Roberts turned to Hudson -- who had six saves over his previous 12 outings entering Thursday -- to face the heart of Milwaukee's order. The strategy didn't pay off, as Hudson was tagged for three runs on a double, two singles and a walk. Though the righty reliever has been excellent overall this season, he's given up at least one earned run in three of his past four appearances. Despite his deployment in the eighth frame Thursday, Hudson is likely to still see some save chances moving forward; however, Roberts has gone with more of a committee approach in recent weeks, so Hudson may not get the same volume of save opportunities as the league's more locked-in closers.

Jack Flaherty - Fans seven in no-decision Flaherty allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Milwaukee on Thursday.
Impact Flaherty served up two homers resulting in three runs during the first frame as the Brewers jumped out to an early lead. The right-hander was able to settle down from there and didn't let any more runs cross the plate, averting what initially seemed like a potential blowup outing. Flaherty once again had his swing-and-miss stuff working, as he racked up 15 swinging strikes and seven punchouts -- marks he's reached in each of his three starts with the Dodgers so far. The veteran hurler has an impressive 24:4 K:BB over 16.2 innings during that span.

Bobby Miller - Scratched from start Thursday Miller was scratched from his scheduled start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact DiGiovanna notes that Miller could be called up and start for the Dodgers in Friday's game against the Cardinals in place of left-hander Justin Wrobleski. Miller started the season with the big club, but he was sent down to the minors right before the All-Star break after posting a 1-2 record over seven starts with a 8.07 ERA and 1.83 WHIP across 29 innings. Over his last three starts in Triple-A, he's posted a 5.54 ERA and 1.69 WHIP across 13 frames.

Ryan Brasier - Expected to return Saturday Brasier (calf) is likely to be activated from the 60-day injured list Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Brasier last pitched for Los Angeles on April 27, and he was placed on the IL two days later due to a right calf strain. He's looked great since beginning a minor-league rehab assignment in late July, pitching eight scoreless innings and posting a 12:1 K:BB over eight appearances. Brasier may be held to lower-leverage situations upon his return to the majors in order to shake off any rust, but he could rise up the bullpen pecking order if he fares well.

Freddie Freeman - Collects three hits Wednesday Freeman went 3-for-5 with a run in Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee.
Impact Freeman recorded his fourth multi-hit game over his past seven contests, a span in which he's batting .345 with a homer, four RBI and a stolen base. The star first baseman has boosted his season batting average up to .291 as he attempts to finish with a .300 mark for the fifth consecutive campaign. Freeman has added 17 long balls, 71 RBI, 68 runs and six thefts over 113 games.

Kevin Kiermaier - Sitting out Thursday Kiermaier is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Milwaukee, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Andy Pages will occupy center field, as he and Kiermaier ended up splitting the starts at the position during the four-game set. Kiermaier has been the preferred option at the position of late, making six starts to Pages' three across the last nine contests.

Mookie Betts - Getting breather Thursday Betts is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Milwaukee, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact Betts started the first three games of the series -- his first three contests back from from the injured list -- but will take a seat for Thursday's afternoon finale. Jason Heyward will patrol right field for the Dodgers and Teoscar Hernandez will move up to the second spot in the batting order.

Shohei Ohtani - Swipes two bags Ohtani went 0-for-4 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.
Impact Ohtani reached on a fielding error from Joey Ortiz in his first at-bat before coming around to score the Dodgers' first run on a Teoscar Hernandez walk three batters later. The superstar slugger would then go on to steal second and third after drawing a walk in his second trip to the plate, giving him 35 stolen bases on the season. It also marked his sixth multi-steal effort of the campaign and he's now scored at least one run in three straight games. Ohtani is batting just .176 (9-for-51) so far in August, though he's still racked up five homers, 10 RBI, eight runs and seven stolen bases over that stretch.
