It’ll be Kershaw’s third rehab outing as he continues to progress towards a mid-to-late August season debut coming off last year’s shoulder surgery. The 36-year-old veteran lefty struck out five over three shutout innings last weekend for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He figures to make an impact for fantasy managers over the final few weeks of the year, even in shallow mixed leagues. The results have been there for the future Hall of Fame southpaw, when healthy, over the last few years.

Petersen has a 4.50 ERA in 12 innings for the Dodgers, though it comes with a lousy 8/7 K/BB ratio. He’ll pitch in low leverage situations.

Wrobleski took one for the team Sunday, giving up 10 runs in 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks. His ERA jumped from 4.68 to 6.82 as a result.

Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports reports that this is not a disciplinary matter, and that Siri is expected to report back to Rays on Tuesday. Jonny DeLuca is getting the start in center with Siri unavailable.

We’re not sure if Anthony Gose knows he’s allowed to sign with other teams at this point. The left-hander has been outrighted and returned to Cleveland several times, and will continue to provide organizational depth for the remainder of 2024.

Tatis Jr. is in the lineup for the first time since June 21. The 25-year-old may see a day off here and there to keep his legs fresh, but the fact he’s hitting near the top of the lineup tells you that San Diego believes he’s ready to contribute again. Jurickson Profar is out of the lineup Monday.

It’s been a lost season for Lawlar, as the 22-year-old was injured to begin the year and then suffered a setback with a Grade 1 hamstring strain in the middle of June. It seems unlikely that Lawlar sees time with Arizona in 2024, but the shortstop still has fantasy upside in his right-handed bat.

“No idea,” Hyde said when asked. The infielder is feeling better according to the manager, but Mountcastle still hasn’t started to swing yet. Mountcastle seems likely to return before the season comes to an end, but it sounds like this will be closer to the end of September than the beginning.

Stewart will take the place of J.D. Martinez, as Martinez is on the paternity list. Stewart should see time against right-handed pitching while he’s with the team, but likely will only be up for three days.

Martinez will be away from the team from anywhere between one to three games while he’s on the list. The Mets recalled D.J. Stewart in a corresponding transaction.

Kershaw was placed on the injured list Saturday with left big toe inflammation, and the hope is that the walking boot will help stabilize the injury. There’s no timetable for when Kershaw will be able to return, but the hope is that his season isn’t over.
