Dodgers Recall Landon Knack, Option J.P. Feyereisen to Triple-A

The Los Angeles Dodgers continue to struggle with injuries, particularly within their pitching staff, prompting frequent roster moves to keep up with a demanding schedule. Right-handed reliever Evan Phillips was placed back on the injured list with forearm discomfort after a brief return, joining several other key pitchers and position players sidelined by injuries. To manage their overworked bullpen, the Dodgers called up Landon Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start or provide length in Wednesday’s game against the Miami Marlins, optioning J.P. Feyereisen back to the minors after his extra-innings loss. Knack has had a difficult season so far, with a 7.27 ERA in three appearances, but the team hopes he can provide stability and innings for the depleted rotation. Despite the challenges, the Dodgers have managed to get decent performances from their fill-in starters, but lead the league in bullpen innings pitched as they shuffle players to cover gaps. There are some positive updates, with Clayton Kershaw nearing a return after a successful rehab start and Teoscar Hernández expected back in a couple of weeks if his recovery continues well.
