“It’s been hard to kind of ramp up the volume that he would need to get back,” Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman told reporters Saturday, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. “My expectation is he will not be back this year.”
Ben Rortvedt laid down a bunt in the seventh inning for his third sacrifice of the season, which leads the Dodgers this season. He joined the team on September 4. Rortvedt’s three sacrifice bunts are the most by any Dodger since 2021, when pitchers were still hitting. The previous Dodgers position player with at least this many sacrifices was Kiké Hernández in 2018, with four.
