Los Angeles Dodgers DVOA, Stats, & MLB Rankings

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Hyeseong Kim was unstoppable at the plate during Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Kim had no problems as he went 4-for-4 with a double, home run, two RBI, and walk in the blowout win. The rookie infielder reached base five times he came to the plate during Saturday's contest. Kim is slashing .422/.458/.600 with two homers, seven RBI, and four stolen bases on the season. Sadly, Kim doesn't offer great fantasy value right now given he's not playing everyday at the moment.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy put on a show during Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. He kicked off the scoring early with an RBI single in the first inning. He followed that with a three-run home run off right-hander Will Warren in the second inning. Muncy went deep again as he blasted another three-run homer, but this time off right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. in the fifth inning. He would finish his night going 3-for-6 with two homers, seven RBI, and three runs scored in the blowout victory. Muncy doesn't offer a ton of upside, but he has the power ability to put together games like this from time to time.

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow) threw a live batting practice session on Saturday. This was the second time that Ohtani has faced live hitters this month. He continues to make progress, but there's still more work to do before he's ready to return to the mound. The Dodgers haven't given much of a timetable for Ohtani. The hope is that he'll be able to help as a pitcher in the second half, but the Dodgers aren't going to rush it. Fantasy managers who have Ohtani as a pitcher will hopefully get something out of him in the second half of the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) has been transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as this is only a procedural move to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. This move frees a spot for catcher Chuckie Robinson who was claimed off waivers on Saturday. Glasnow has been on the injured list since late April due to right shoulder inflammation. He has been throwing bullpen sessions, but will require a few rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers roster. The 31-year-old is now eligible to return in late June, so fantasy managers will need to wait a few more weeks.

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman (ankle) is in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Yankees. Freeman mentioned on Friday that he was dealing with discomfort on his surgically-repaired ankle. Despite that, Freeman will remain in the lineup, so it doesn't appear to be significant enough to put Freeman on the bench. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Freeman does get a game or two off, assuming the issue doesn't go away. For now, Freeman will bat third and play first base versus right-hander Will Warren on Saturday. Fantasy managers should make sure they have Freeman in their lineups.
