Dodgers 2, Giants 1: Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered 5 1/3 scoreless innings but walked a career-high six as LA leaned on a bullpen that finally answered the bell. Michael Kopech and Blake Treinen both had command hiccups, yet the long relief frame held, fueling a three-game NL West lead. Freeman and Ohtani supplied the decisive run support in a grind-it-out win.

Meanwhile, Roki Sasaki flashed premium stuff in Tacoma and could rejoin the big club next week, adding a potential postseason weapon. LA’s bullpen confidence is growing at the right time, with Brock Stewart nearing return and Treinen finding a spark when it mattered most.

Dodgers push for urgency in a tight NL West race as September rosters expand. Ohtani’s 46th homer and Pages’ tying blast spark a comeback, but a leaky bullpen and costly miscues doom a 9-7 loss to Pirates. Roberts leans on internal competition to lift performance, with Hyeseong Kim and Michael Kopech rejoining the mix and Muncy and Edman starting rehab. Conforto, Rojas and the outfield tandem of Pages and Hernández must seize every opportunity.

Dodgers bullpen woes loom as they completed a weekend sweep of the Padres but stumbled against the Rockies on Monday. With several relievers on rehab, the club leans on a potential late-game shift led by a call-up for Bobby Miller, should health delay return of the next pieces. Tanner Scott’s live-batting-practice update brings a spark of optimism, while Michael Kopech’s rehab looks uneven and may delay his impact. LA reportedly eyes Devin Williams on a one-year deal to re-establish relief value, a familiar Dodgers habit. Until health returns, the path to bullpen reliability remains tense and unsettled for fantasy managers navigating saves, holds, and bullpen win potential.

Dodgers sweep Padres to take a two‑game lead, but the bullpen remains the fulcrum of their recent uneven run. Brusdar Graterol’s season‑ending shoulder issue tightens the squeeze, and Michael Kopech’s rehab start underlines the uphill battle for fresh bullpen reinforcements. Still, Alex Vesia’s weekend relief work offers a spark, and Mookie Betts's game‑winning homer plus Freddie Freeman’s power provide a clear fantasy upside if the contour of late‑inning innings starts to firm up. The series felt like a turning point more than a cure, hinting at a leaner, more leveraged bullpen mix and bigger daily value from the Dodgers’ stars as they chase the division crown.
