21 Sep
Summary
- Tarik Skubal placed on bereavement list, potentially missing next start.
- Manager Dave Roberts expects Skubal to miss only a couple of days.
- Emmet Sheehan recalled from Triple-A to fill Skubal's roster spot.
Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal was placed on the bereavement list on Sunday, creating uncertainty about his next scheduled start. This move could potentially cause him to miss his final regular-season outing.
Manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism, suggesting Skubal would only be away for a few days due to personal reasons. Skubal last pitched on Saturday, allowing four runs and eight hits in five innings during the Dodgers' 10-4 victory over the Giants. Despite a challenging outing, Skubal noted the team's strong offensive and defensive support.
Since joining the Dodgers before the trade deadline, Skubal has posted a 2.95 ERA with a 4-2 record. To address Skubal's temporary absence from the active roster, the Dodgers recalled Emmet Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Sheehan had previously delivered strong performances in his recent starts.
