  • To clear space on the 40-man roster, Los Angeles transferred Ben Casparius to the 60-day injured list while maintaining a 0.5-game lead in the NL West.
  • Los Angeles now travels to Petco Park for a three-game series against the San Diego Padres, where Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start the opening game.
