Well, remember yesterday when we were talking about the 2025 Doodgers being cursed?

The team received another blow when reliever Tanner Scott left the field in the ninth inning with a forearm injury. He will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, and is likely headed for the injured list. Another one bites the dust, potentially.

It’s funny how baseball works. The Dodgers shocked the baseball world by going out and getting not one but two of the big named relievers available in the offseason, in Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott, and now they are still going to need to acquire bullpen help at the trade deadline.

In things that are going right, Max Muncy looks to be ahead of schedule. He could be going out on a rehab assignment as early as next weekend. The offense sorely needs him back.

The Dodgers did manage to get a win against the Twins on Monday night, with all five runs coming via the home run — three solo shots, and a two-run homer from Shohei Ohtani.

Tuesday, the Dodgers will face Simeon Woods Richardson, a 24-year-old righty with a fantastic name. He is 5-4 on the season with a 3.95 ERA, but has been pitching really well as of late. He’s only allowed two runs in his last three outings, including five scoreless against the Chicago Cubs. He has a 1.47 ERA over his last six starts, giving up just two homers in that same time period.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto will take the mound for the Dodgers, making his first start since the All-Star break. It will be interesting to see which Yamamoto comes out of the break — the one that most recently went seven scoreless against San Francisco, or the one that couldn’t make it out of the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers. After such a stellar start, Yamamoto really has had a roller coaster ride of late.

Most importantly, the Dodgers could use another seven-inning outing from Yamamoto, to save the bullpen some work. Wednesday’s game is a day game with Tyler Glasnow going who also should be able to give the Dodgers bullpen some relief, at a time when they really need it.
