Dodgers Notes: Clayton Kershaw’s Return Date, Max Muncy Uncertainty, Tyler Glasnow Injury Update

Coming out of the All-Star break, the Dodgers have won two straight games. Both have been nail-bitters but Los Angeles has found a way to win.

Here’s what else you might have missed Saturday:

Clayton Kershaw Sets 2024 Debut

Dodgers fans have eagerly anticipated the return of star pitcher Clayton Kershaw, who is set to make his 2024 season debut against the San Francisco Giants. Following an offseason recovery from shoulder surgery, Kershaw’s return marks a significant moment, set to lift the spirits at Dodger Stadium and provide a boost to the team’s rotation amidst ongoing injuries.

Shohei Ohtani Expresses Confidence in Dave Roberts

Amidst a turbulent season, Shohei Ohtani has stepped up to defend Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, attributing his personal improvements to Roberts’ managerial skills. Despite the team’s struggles and the external pressures facing Roberts, Ohtani’s support highlights a positive player-manager relationship pivotal for the team’s morale.

Tyler Glasnow’s Scheduled Return

Dodgers’ pitcher Tyler Glasnow is expected to return to the mound against the San Francisco Giants after recovering from a back issue. Glasnow, whose return could stabilize the starting rotation, expressed confidence in managing his innings post-recovery, ensuring readiness for the season’s crucial latter half.

Miguel Vargas and Andy Pages’ Near-Collision

A miscommunication between Miguel Vargas and Andy Pages almost led to an on-field collision, highlighting Vargas’ inexperience in the outfield. Despite this, Vargas took responsibility for the mix-up and later showcased his defensive skills by executing a crucial double play, which he later credited for sparking a team turnaround.

Max Muncy’s Uncertain Return

Max Muncy continues to face setbacks in his recovery from an oblique strain, with no definitive timetable for his return. This uncertainty adds to the Dodgers’ challenges, potentially impacting their strategy as the trade deadline approaches.
