The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a disappointing 18-1 loss to the Houston Astros on Friday evening. L.A. fell to 56-33 on the year.
In other news, the Dodgers are urged by an insider to trade for an All-Star starting pitcher ahead of the trade deadline at the end of the month. Amid the many injuries to the pitching roster, a boost to the rotation on the road to October could certainly benefit the defending champions.
Finally, Tyler Glasnow, one of the more notable pitching injuries this season, had a promising update to his return timeline. He is currently on a rehab assignment in Triple-A Oklahoma City and potentially returning as soon as next week.
