The Los Angeles Dodgers are officially transitioning Ben Casparius into a starting pitcher role. The right-hander has a 2.86 ERA across 44 innings this season.

In more starting pitching news, Roki Sasaki is reportedly not making progress in his progression back to the mound. The phenom is pain-free at the moment which is promising, but it appears it will take some time until he is back in the rotation.

Finally, a San Diego Padres All-Star called out the Dodgers for punting Tuesday’s loss at Petco Park. Many wondered why manager Dave Roberts would leave a struggling pitcher in for so long, but the innings eaten up by Matt Sauer made the bullpen that much fresher for the series-clinching game the next day.
