Rojas was scratched from the Dodgers' lineup prior to Wednesday's game against the Mariners due to a hamstring flareup, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. Manager Dave Roberts said the decision to take Rojas out of the lineup was precautionary, and he expects the 35-year-old shortstop to return to the lineup Friday following Thursday's scheduled off day. Tommy Edman will get the starting nod at shortstop while Rojas rests, opening up center field for Kevin Kiermaier to start and bat ninth.

In his latest media appearance, Shanahan was asked the obligatory question about whether there are any updates on the situation with Aiyuk, who has not practiced at all during training camp, wants a new contract, and has been the subject of trade discussions. Shanahan sarcastically said there was progress before acknowledging that nothing has changed since training camp began.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Max Muncy’s three-run double highlighted a five-run fifth inning, Shohei Ohtani stole his 39th base of the season and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Seattle Mariners 8-4 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep. Ohtani is just one stolen base and one home run away from becoming the fastest player in major league history to reach 40-40. The Japanese superstar would be the first player in Dodgers history to do so. The NL West leaders outscored the Mariners 17-7 in the interleague series. The Dodgers won their fourth in a row to increase their lead over Arizona and San Diego to four games. “What we did with those starters this series was a clinic,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “You could argue that starting staff over there is top-two baseball. Grinding those guys, getting to the pen was one of our more impressive three-game series as far as beating the starter.”
