- While Hyeseong Kim provided solid defensive play, manager Dave Roberts noted he struggled at the plate, saying, "Unfortunately, it just hasn't happened right now but the thought is that it" will improve with time.
- The Dodgers added starting pitcher Blake Snell to the 60-day IL to create necessary roster space following the sudden loss of two key contributors to injury.
