Now that's what I'm talking about. Good pitching, timely hitting, and a Dodger win. They beat the Angels tonight seventy two Hi everybody, Tim Kate's with you here on postgame Dodger Talk on your Home with the Dodgers and five seventy LA Sports Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Thanks for being with us on this warm Saturday evening. Man, it is heating up here in southern California. I guess we've been lucky to have gotten this far into the summer and had such nice weather, comfortable weather outside. But today they turned up the furnace on us here in southern California, in LA and Orange County and the Ie because it was absolutely hot to day here in southern California and it looks like it's gonna remain that way now.
His summer is officially here with the heat, and the Dodgers offense was hot tonight. Gavin Lux, guy that started showing you o Tani win deep. The Dodgers put together a four run third inning, and that's what we like to see, one of those big numbers on the scoreboard in an inning, getting on the board, getting an early lead. And when you got Tyler Glass now doing what he's doing seven innings, two runs, two hits, ten punchouts, no walks, good things are gonna happen. And we've seen
him pitch really well over the course of this season. He has been everything that Dodgers had hoped for when they acquired him from Tampa and the Ryan Pepio deal and then signed them to the extension. You can't ask much more from Tyler Glass now, who you bring in to be one of those one to two top of the rotation starting pitchers for you and Tyler Glass now off to
a great start. In the month of May, he only had one win, but during that month of May he got absolutely zero run support and had that one rough game against the Cincinnati Reds and what she gave up four and runs. But he has gotten back on track with a win now against the
Royals and a win tonight against the Angels. He's had a couple of hiccups, yes he has, but when he pitches six innings and gives up one run on three hits and loses in Pittsburgh like he did at the beginning of the month, when he pitches strong for you and gets a no decision over seven innings and an extra innings loss or win. But he gets a no
decision against the Mets in New York at the end of May. Those are tough, you know, when he limits a team to three runs on four hits and you know, keep shooting a game and you can't score any runs for him, and a six to nothing loss to the Diamondbacks, that's tough. And he's been on the receiving end of those tough losses this season. And the eight and five record, yeah, you'll look at it and go man, eightn five, Okay, Look at the strikeouts. Look at the
RRA now to eighty eight, leading baseball in strikeouts. Look at the quality starts. Look how many times he's pitched into the sixth, seventh, eighth inning like he did against the Mets back in April. I mean, he's got now six double digit strikeout games after punching out ten tonight. He has been fantastic for this Dodgers team, as has Gavin Stone. Yamamoto is right on track with those two before he got hurt. In my opinion, Tyler
Glass now and Gavin Stone, they've got to be All Stars. They've got to be in the mix as two of the better pitchers in the National League that earn spots onto the National League All Star Team. And I know it's, you know, three and a half weeks away the All Star break and the game down in Texas, but you look at the Erara to eighty eight, that's that's pretty good in baseball right now, or the you know,
strikeouts. Tyler Glass now one hundred and thirty five, got eleven more than Cruchet, who the Dodgers are gonna see in the series open against the White Sox on Monday. It's been a really good first half for both Gavin Stone and then Tyler Glass Now again, two guys who I truly believe deserve nods in the National League All Star Team this year for the first half of the
seasons they are having. And just a second, we're gonna get into a little bit more about Tyler Glass now because Tyler Glass now has been really good, but you need to look at the numbers a little bit more clearly as far as innings and starts, because he's starting to get up there near career
highs. And I'm looking at the calendar and it says June twenty second, So that's something we're gonna get into a minute eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy Gavin LUCKX tonight two for four, a home run, two RBIs hey last night, Let's be honest myself. Some of the callers, some of the reactionals media a
little hard on Gavin Lucks. The tenth inning, the Dodgers had the tie run ninety feet away and all they needed was him to put the ball in play. Kicking Hernandez put the ball in play, and the Dodgers can get a time run across, and who knows what happens, and they can maybe get a win a game they should have won up two to nothing last night, And tonight, what does Gavin lux do? Comes back, goes two for four, has a home run an RBI single later in the fifth inning.
Lucks, along with Rojas and Bigio, had six hits in that seven to eight to nine spot. Six hits for the Dodgers and scored five of their seven runs last night. Typically cap to Austin Barnes, Hey, we're gonna get the guy's credit as much as we get on players for you know, lack of production or making a mistake or not coming through in a certain situation. Hey, that gets talked about a lot, and that's part of the reaction and maybe overreactions sometimes on postgame shows, and that's what fans are
all about, and we love it. But at the same time, when a guy like Lux comes through tonight with a two for four performance, and Miguel Rojas goes two for four and Calm b Show gets on base of a bunt and then a base hit, he goes two for four, scores twice, you gotta tip your cap. You gotta apploud those guys for doing their job tonight, a combined six for twelve Rojas, Lucks and Bigho in the seven to eight to nine spots for the Dodgers tonight and last night, Austin
Barnes. Austin Barnes a two out base hit in the fifth inning, turning the lineup over to show Hey O Tani, who then hit that two run home run for the Dodgers to give him a two to nothing lead last night. Go to tonight, no Austin Barnes in the lineup, but the bottom of the lineup comes through, gets on bas scores, runs. Top of the lineup does what they're supposed to do, and the Dodgers pull away with
a seven to two victory over the Angels. It's simple. Sometimes do your job, produce and get good pitching, and more times than not, you're
gonna win a baseball game. And tonight the Dodgers won their forty eighth of this season, and now forty eight and thirty one overall eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy Real quick, I want to go back to Tyler Glass now before we get to your phone calls, we' here from Jose motis a Jose Mota coming up at the bottom of the hour. Tyler Glass now has been a guy who has
gotten hurt over his career. And Tyler Glass now has battled through an arm injury a recovery from that twenty twenty two and he only made the two starts came back last year after the arm surgery and put up his biggest numbers quantity wise of his career, certainly not wins and losses. Well, it was his biggest win. Ten wins was his biggest last year. Twenty one starts he made last season in Tampa, most team made in a season in his
career. Twenty one starts when ten and seven three point fifty three rora, and he pitched in one hundred and twenty innings. Okay, keep those numbers in mind right here, all right. Twenty one starts one hundred and twenty innings. Twenty one starts one hundred and twenty innings. Okay, you got those in your mind right now. Last year, twenty one starts one hundred and twenty innings, right now as we sit, not even at the halfway point number wise of the season, not even at the All Star break,
but right now, Tyler glassnow, sixteen starts one hundred innings. Sixteen starts one hundred innings. Remember those two numbers I just told you, Remember, twenty one starts one hundred and twenty innings. He's five starts away for matching what he did last year, which was a career high, and he's twenty innings away. Do the math. That's probably what three starts away from tying the career high and innings pitched with one hundred and twenty. What are the
Dodgers gonna do when they get to those marks? Are they gonna blow right through it and have Tyler Glass now just keep pitching in August, in September and get ready for some October baseball. I think it's something they've probably already thought about. Believe it or not. They're pretty smart in the front office. Believe it or not, They've probably already thought about this. They probably
already have mapped it out. There's probably a Google doc or a spreadsheet somewhere, maybe on a floppy disk or a ZIP drive somewhere that's got this already mapped out and scenarios laid out for what Tyler Glass now is doing. Twenty one starts, twenty one starts last year, He's at sixteen already. He could get to twenty one starts right after the All Star break, then you got all of August, September, in October. It's just something to keep
in mind. And again, I'm sure they've mapped this out. Maybe he gets skipped a couple of times in the rotation. I don't know, he's pitched so well. Do you want to take him off his rhythm that he's on right now, in the momentum that he's built. Maybe an extended break, you know, a a soreness, a calf wink wink to the iel for fifteen days is a break for him. Maybe you tied in with the All Star break and he gets three weeks off with the All Star break and
then a two week eye els did I don't know. I'm not sure how it works out, but I imagine the Dodgers' front office is seeing what I'm seeing. Five starts away from a career high, twenty innings away from a career high, and it's June twenty second. Dave Roberts was asked about it in the pregame with the media and we had it for you on Dodgers on Deck and said, yeah, they're looking at it, and they're gonna look to get him, you know, some rest here and there. Not sure
what that means. Maybe skip some starts, Maybe go to a six man rotation when they get healthy again here. Maybe he gets skipped in a turn. I'm not sure, but it's just something to kind of keep an eye on man. He's been so good, it's been really good, and they've got an investment in him now for multi years. And this is a young man who's just coming off a twenty twenty two year and which only made two starts. Something to keep an eye on Tyler Glass now here in twenty twenty
four. You don't want to go to the well too soon. And when you go to him in August is September, maybe he's hit a wall. And I'm just saying, what apps right? What if he hits a wall? What if he gets to a point where that body is not used to getting to twenty five starts? Twenty seven starts? It happens. You can't just all of a sudden wrap yourself back up one year and then take it and splode through that number the next next years. It's a hard thing for
pitchers to kind of balance, and you have to be careful. You don't want to taxi guy the first half of a season, the first four and a half months of a season, because you have to keep in mind one hundred and sixty two games. You got to keep in mind October. They're counting on Tyler Glass now for October that's great what he's doing, one hundred and thirty five punch outs. Love. It should be an all star season
for Tyler Glass now, absolutely, but I wanted for October. I don't want him to be tapped out because he's already hit his innings and his starts and he's gassed. So again, I'm sure they've thought about it. I'm now thinking about it. Dave Roberts was asked about it in the pregame, so certainly they're aware, but just making you Dodger fans aware, it's crazy he's been I don't know how you throttle back, so to speak, a starting pitcher to ease the innings and the starts. I'm not smarter. That's
why I'm not a GM. I'm clearly not smart enough to make those decisions. That's somebody else's job. So I'm sure they thought about it and broken down the scenarios and looked at the innings. And again, I talked about this a couple of days ago on Dodger Talk. Going into seasons, every player, especially pitchers, they've kind of have it mapped out. This is what we project. Okay, we project this amount of starts, this mini innings, this is what we see you doing. I mean, chin,
things change when guys get hurt. It's the part of the game. But certainly going into a season, if you're healthy and injury free, this is what we see you doing. And I imagine they knew that didn't get hurt. He's gonna get to his max innings and his starts for his career pretty quickly. And he's knocking on the door and getting to that number. Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy. We'll take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll get to your phone calls, Jose Mote as
we go to the top of the hour here on Dodger Talk. Eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy eight six six nine eighty seven two five seventy Knights. Bounce back win for the Dodgers tonight.

Tyler Glass now gets the victory. Let's go out to the phones, Aiden leaving Dodgers Stadium on this hot Saturday night, Aiden, and you enjoy the game? Yeah, Tim, it was awesome, such a fun game. The city connects new uniforms. They looked great. I thought, shout out Bigo for laying that, butN down loved it. Phenomenal, great game, great time. Yeah, no doubt about man. Drive to save home on
your way back, and I appreciate you checking in. It was a good win for the Dodgers and Bigo throwing the butt down getting a base hit. I mentioned seven eight nine hitters tonight combined for six hits and scored five of the Dodgers' seven runs. Again, everything clicking for the Dodgers. Top of the lineup with Otani driving in runs, hitting for power, bottom of the lineup getting on base, set and the table, and Tyler glasnow absolutely fantastic.
Ten punchouts tonight, zero walks in a win over the Angels. He's now eight and five on the season. Let's check in with Jose. It's tough to go around the horn with Hosea Jose. I know, we talked about Yamamoto a lot before the season started and the pickup of him and the contract that he got as a young twenty five year old out of Japan, and Tyler Glass now gets acquired, and yeah, he's a big time name, hard high school. We know what he can do in Tampa and man,
he has lived up to his contract and his hype. I mean, he has been fantastic, Hose, even through the no run support during May and early June. Tonight ten more punch outs. Oh, there's no doubt about it, Timo. We consider that who he was back in Tampa Bay, who he was in Pittsburgh. Okay, a guy that was told more to pigeon to contact with a high frame that he has in a large frame of the extension. But let's talk about a guy that the Dodgers had scouted
it for a long time. Obviously a guy that the Dodgers know the injury history, but also a guy that the Dodgers know in terms of pitch development and pitching experience. There is way more than the tech, and there's still more. He has proven to be a guy that can be dominant. But also consider this, how in the world are you able to strike out double digits. Guys come into this organization and be a target on you pretty much
in a bullseye, and his don't wack people. I mean, it is amazing to me somebody who throws this hard you can manipulate the striking as well as he does. And you mentioned Yamamoto who does it so well too. But this is all based on philosophy and I'm belief and I'm making sure that in that pitching lab you understand what they're explaining to you. Because when hitters want to jump a Birdie, for example, because he throws a lot of
strikes, well that is a definition TOI of quality strikes. Quality strikes are ones in which you think a hitter might be looking into his zone, You look at his hot zone, and that you locate exactly where he is, and when he's trying to jump in you eardy and that induces weak context or swings and missus. This guy is not just to throw. This guy can really pitch. I brought up the numbers just a few minutes ago for Tyler Glass. Now, last year he came back off the arm surgery, twenty
one starts, one hundred and twenty innings. Already this year, Jose, and we haven't even gotten to the halfway point of one hundred and sixty two games. We haven't even gotten to the All Star break. He's already at one hundred innings and he's at sixteen starts again, twenty one starts last year, one hundred and twenty eight. He's going to blow past those numbers either
before the All Star break or right after the All Star break. What do you do with Tyler Glass now, knowing that you need him for October, but you can't run him out there for thirty starts before the postseason, can you? Well? Yeah, the thing is you also don't want him to get rusty and keep him on his groove. Here the dollars through the years Historic can have done a fantastic job and finding a way to get these guys fore they need to be. And I know the last two octobers things have
not gone well. When you have been planning and mapping out the rotation, there have been a lot of question marks. But this is a guy that he's a big boy. Okay, he's a big boy who's going to pay a lot of money, and I think you understand the responsibility along with that
now. Because he's a guy that is so reputable mechanics and you don't see him one hundred and twenty pitches, He's going to be more manageable than other guys have been in that Situashington, because number one, you have the option now of guys that are coming back to the rotation to where you don't have to expose him every five days. The Valuis have done a very nice job with him in getting him some extra day. But I do see the concern
because truthfully, there is an injury history there too. What I would say is with a guy like talent Glass, now, his ability to keep him manageable pretty much is all you want. But I think that the most important thing is to keep him in a group and manage how you can handle him getting a little blow here and there, a little rest so you know,
through the years we've seen that happen. Let's go back to last year and the same question was brought up with Bobby Miller when he blew through whatever innings he had pitched ever before in the minors, and they happen to find a way to get it ready. And even though he didn't pitch, you know good and I've told but there's gonna be a way because there's depth and there's
many things. What I really hope doesn't happen is that he's with injury and then you're forced to do it. But he he done tried, the way he takes care of his body and the way he pitches, mechanics and all that to perhaps below pass. But you want to be very careful because the most importantings are the cover. In October, Dodgers head to Chicago for the first leg of this six game road trip. Are you a deep dish Chicago style pizza guy, I'm not. I don't like the thick pizza. I
don't. I don't like that stuff. Come on, I like it too much dough, too much bread. I don't like that. Well, instead of eating five you eat three pieces? How about that? Absolutely? Do you like the Chicago pizzas? What's your go to in Chicago? Eh? I do. Uh. It's a place called like a local place called Super Rosa that I really like. Obviously, you have the Dinos and Gino's the East and all that kind of stuff. But you can't go wrong with that
tip. You got to come to Chicago and just you know, Joe the scene and go deep dish. I mean, you can only do in Chicago, get the real stuff. So I want to get your cast that thought. All right, sounds good. Jose safe travels and we'll talk to you a couple of days. Oh my friend. All right, there he goes Jose Mona joining us here on postgame Dodger Talk. Is the Dodgers get the seven to two win over the Ange. Tyler Glass now gets the victory.
Gavin lux too for for a home run show, hell Tani hits a bomb into the right center field pavilion at number twenty three on this season, Let's go to Brad and mission Viejo. What's going on? Brad? Always better when the Dodgers win the world is right? Yeah, thanks for taking my call? Question on Glass? Now, yeah, he pitched the through the seventh to nine and he actually you know, the first run came in on
that. You know that interference on Will Smith, you catch your interference And it was encouraging to see him even though he give up the home run to a Hoppy late in the game. In the struggles when he wasn't getting run support, he would give up a really early home run, like with the
Padres and with Pittsburgh and with Cincinnati. So even though you know he didn't give up a home run in the last start against the Rangers, I mean against Kansas City, so it's encouraging to see that he's not gonna get hit hard that way most of the time. Yeah, no doubt, no doubt
appreciated, Brad. Thanks for checking in here on postgame Dodger Talk. I thought he pitched really well tonight, as Dave Roberts alluded to in his postgame comments that you heard on the Clubout Show, they could have left him out
there. I mean, he's had seventy four pitches seven innings. I mean, the only thing that he really gave up was that solo home run to a Hoppy in the seventh inning, and that was a home run with two outs, and he challenged o Hoopy and o'hopy hit up fastball outside part of the plate. When you throw ninety eight and you could turn that around and hit a home run, exit velocity's going to be high. On a ninety eight mile hour fastball, because you're generating a lot of the power as well
on the pitch. And that ball got out for a home run, you tip your cap. You got a seven to one lead, and you're challenging the hitter. He challenged a lot of those Angels hitters. Taylor Ward comes to mind, Ohopy earlier, and he was throwing ninety seven mile an hour fastballs on the outside part of the plates for strike three and they were taking them. He was challenging, hey, I'm going to throw it out there if you can turn around and hit it more to you, and they weren't
even swinging on some of those pitches. He had ten punch outs tonight, as you alluded to the catcher's interference. That run came around in the fourth inning, and then the solo home run with two outs of the seventh. That was it. Two hits against Tyler Glass. Now that was all that the Angels had coming up. In a couple of minutes. We'll get you an update on Clayton Kershaw. Is it a setback? I don't think necessarily yet we'll call it that, but maybe a roadblock or a roadbump here in
the road for Clayton Kershaw. We'll get to that in a second. Lewis and El Serrito, what's going on? How you doing tonight? Hey, Tim? Go ahead, Lewis, Lewis you there? I think we lost Lewis it took us off a speakerphone or something. Lewis, you took us off a speakerphone or I'm gonna go ahead and put you back on hold. Buddy, I appreciate it, but wait a lot of times I'll make sure we get to you and be fair to you for that. But yeah, it's it's a good win for the Dodgers to night, to bounce back,
get the offense. And you look at what they did collectively tonight. The bottom of the lineup came through. It wasn't reliant just on the top four hitters in the Dodgers lineup, which we've seen in some cases. And that's you know, quite all right. There are games in which the top of the lineup, the big bopper, so to speak, the Otani Smith, Freeman's they got to do the job. And tonight Will Smith oh for three with a basis loaded walk, he got an RBI on struck out a couple
of times. Freddie Freeman was one for three. Ta Oscar Hernandez was zero for four but hit the ball hard. Show Hey Otani came through with the home run, was on base a couple of times. The bottom of the lineup turned the lineup over, did a really good job getting six of the Dodgers nine hits, and it's tonight one of those collective units offensively it took for the Dodgers to get this win. Behind Tyler Glass now on the mound in the seventies, real quickly. Michael Peterson, he's a thirty year old
rookie. And Tim Neverett, by the way, had a great story about him and his background being from England, pitching for Team Britain, Team Great Britain in the World Baseball Classic, going to Riverside Community College, pitching in an over thirty men's league in Las Vegas every weekend when he was not cleared
to play in red shirting here in southern California. A great story. Finally makes it, gets drafted and makes his way up and gets promoted by the Dodgers last week and makes his debut and gets the win, pitching two winnings on Tuesday at Corus Field, and then comes in tonight in his second appearance in the big leagues. It has a one two, three ninth inning, big guy, big physical six' seven right hander who could throw it up there. It looks like in the upper nineties now, a little bit of
control issues maybe leading into this. I'm not really sure why he's taking this guy so long to get to the big leagues, because at his first two appearances he's looked really good. Looks really good for the Dodgers. Maybe they've tapped into something here with this thirty year old rookie who could be a nice, pleasant surprise for the Dodgers at the back end of the bullpen. Especially with the length of this season. It's not gonna be one or two guys
all season long. I mean, I'm looking at my injured list right now on our board here, and I mean there's like a handful of Dodger relievers still on the injured list. Kyle hurt got sitting down to triple a's. He's making his way back, you know, Joe Kelly, Bruce, dar Gradol, I mean, Ryan Brasier. The Dodgers gonna need all hands to help out over the course of one to sixty two and Michael Peterson just one of those guys. The time is now. They need him right now to
help in the back end of the bullpen. Maybe in a long situation, blowout situation. He gets to win against the Rockies on Tuesday, comes in tonight in a seven to two game to get the final three outs, and he does what he's supposed to do. You know, the last thing you want to see is him to go out there and give up two or three
runs. The next thing, you know, it's a seven to five game and they got to go to Evan Phillips, or it's a seven to five game and you got to go to Blake Trining, one of your high leverage relievers, and what should have been a blowout win and get an opportunity for Michael Peterson. But that's exactly what happened. He comes out there, Peterson does his job. I like what I've seen from the thirty year old six
seven rookie. I like to see a little bit more of that. All right, go back to Lewis and Elsa Rino looks like, we fix your phone issue. Lewis, go ahead, thanks so much. Sadly, I think it was my two things A I agree with you about the Google document. They have it all mapped out. This excitement about oh are they can go to a six man rotation? You know when we can go to six men rotation is frankly bs. They have it mapped out. They pulled people
in when they meet him. Kyle Hurd, as you pointed out, just came back off the sixty day. He'll get a couple starts in Oklahoma City and at some point you'll see him. I think klas Now was amazing tonight. He's really been good all year, and I think the Dodger knowledge, the fact that he was misdiagnosed with an injury, they know what to do with him to keep him sharp, because I think somebody like him, you have to keep sharp and he'll go over his innings limit. And that's good.
I mean, And I guess I really like the depth of the team going forward, the depth of the pitching. I think they finally have learned their lesson, so all of the Gavin Crochet people, it's not going to happen. And again, I'm quietly confident about the team, and I do like show heo Tani leading off, I have to say, I have to say, do you think they will change. What's your thought on that. I don't know. I think they'll go back to Obviously, Ivy Mookie has
the lead off better. I appreciate the phone callers, but you're right about the pitching. You know. I'd love to see another arm added to this roster, especially in the rotation, because I'd like to go to October with a lot of proven arms. Not to say that these young guys likes the Stones of the World and Bobby Miller's aren't going to be guys that can contribute
on October, because I think they're absolutely going to be. But you could never have too much experience, you could have never have too much arms, quality arms, I should say, in your rotation and in postseason baseball come
October, you just can't. You can never have too much. So if they can go out and get another arm, especially a starter, look out and then looking getting these relievers like Joe Kelly and Bruce Dark gratteral back will still be nice and who knows, Dustin may maybe even at some point in the second half of this season. Here's the name to keep an eye on, and I don't know if we'll see him unless it's at of necessity. His name is Justin Robleski. He's a twenty three year old left hander.
He was the Dodgers eleventh round pick in twenty twenty one out of Oakla, home of state. Six to one left hander throws gas. The guy pumps gas. The guy can strike out anybody. He has risen through the ranks in the Dodgers minor leagues. A year ago he was at Great Lakes in High A ball. This year he started the year in Tulsa and made thirteen starts, had sixty two strikeouts in sixty seven innings. He's been promoted to Triple A Oklahoma City. He got the start tonight, he got the loss.
He went five innings, struck out eleven, walked one. Now aget you can't look at when loss record necessarily in Triple A. Sometimes he came and look at the era because they played altitude in some of these spots, and the ball travels like an albuquerkie. The ball flies. But keep an eye on Justin Robleski, a hard throwing left hander, a starter. He's in Triple A now. Eleven punchouts and his first start in Triple A tonight
for all Oklahoma City. If we get to the second half of the season and the Dodgers need a starter, don't think they won't make the possibility of Justin Robleski an option there. Last year they rent and got a Kyle Hurt. Last year they went and got and him A Sheehan out of Double A Tulsa. They went and got a Bobby Miller who was sort of in the same boat Double A, Triple A, and they brought him right up to help out because they needed arms because of injuries. Now, knock on Wooden,
the Dodgers don't hit by the injury bug. But I'm just keeping an eye out and I'm just bringing this name up to you now, Dodger fans here on June twenty second. Justin Robleski twenty three year old left hander out of Oklahoma State, a couple of years ago, eleventh round pick. He's in Triple A now, hard throwing left hander could be an option for the
Dodgers if they need somebody in the second half of the season. I don't think he's quite ready yet, but after the All Star break, give him some more starts in Triple A, get him some more seasoning, so to speak. I think he'll be a guy that Dodgers could possibly bring up if need be in the second half of the season. I told you I give you a Clayton Kershaw update. I also give you a Max Unsey update and Dustin May and Bruce ar Gradero update. We'll start with Dustin May and Bruce
dark Graderol. They are throwing bullpens just according to Dave Roberts today, and he said their sessions are quote promising, and he still expects Dustin May and Bruce dark Graderole to help this team at some point this year. But clearly no timeline for either Dustin May or Bruce Dark Graderol right now. But Dustin May Bruce dark Graderol according to Dave Roberts, he still expects both of them to be a part of this team at some point. Okay, Max Munsey,
according to Dave Roberts, still not swinging a bat. He is taking ground balls. David Vasse has seen him in pregame taking ground balls. He's been at Camelback Ranch working out. His return remains TBD. And the problem is it wasn't just a small little bleaque injury. Apparently it was a big o'blique injury. Wasn't just an isolated the spot they can work on. Apparently it was a bigger injury than they thought, and it's been a nagging injury
and slow to heal, and he's certainly been frustrated. He told David Vassay that on the pregame show last week. But Max Munsey baseball activities but not swinging to bat yet. So it kind of feels like the timetable for Max Munsey is clearly post All Star break, and who knows even after that when he returns now then you get Clayton Kershaw. Clayton Kershaw through a bullpen session
today but reported some feeling of soreness in his shoulder. This according to Dave Roberts, the Dodgers are now going to monitor him in the next couple of days, and Dave Roberts said said it's possible that his next rehab auti, which is scheduled for Tuesday in Oklahoma City with the Dodgers triple A of Philly, it could be pushed back now. David Vassay talked about it with us
here on Dodgers on Deck in the pregame show. He said, the level of concern isn't great right now, because this could be part of the process of coming back from an arm injury. In this case, it's a shoulder injury and surgery. You build up calcium, you build up stuff around the surgery, and it soar and you have to work through that soreness. It's part of if you have a knee injury, you know this, you know
the Weekend Warrior. If you have an ankle injury, a knee injury, the calcium build up around it, the scar tissue, that's the better thing. The scar tissue that builds up from an injury. And you rehab and you strengthen the ankle or the leg or a calf, or an arm or a hand or a shoulder. The tightness is gonna be there, but you have to work through it. And I think, based on what I'm seeing in David Vassay's comments in the pregame show, sort of feels like that could
be what he's doing experience. Let's hope and that they'll monitor him and if they need to push back his second start, which he made his first one for the Ranchel Cukamunga quakes earlier this week, then so be it. But I don't think it's necessarily a roadblock right now, maybe just a little bit of a hurdle, a speed bumpoy, so to speak, for Clayton Kershaw
as he makes his way back from shoulder surgery this past offseason. So a little bit of soreness that's expected, and you're coming back from an injury. So hopefully he just gets through it. It's not soaring the next couple days and he can go back out there on Tuesday for Oklahoma cite all right, that's gonna do it for a postgame Dodger Talking extended version tonight, Happy birthday to my guy, Colin Yee.
