It’s rare that one of these Game Threads leads with news of a pen activation, but really that’s entirely the Dodgers problem at the moment, as they would be on one hell of a run to close the season if the pen would stop blowing 3-5 run leads.

Speaking of, Roki Sasaki was activated and Kirby Yates was put on the IL to save him the embarrassment of being DFA’d, I guess.
The Dodgers have activated RHP Roki Sasaki from the injured list and placed RHP Kirby Yates on the injured list with a right hamstring strain, backdated to September 21.

“I have no hesitation pitching him in any situation tonight."
And Brock Stewart … doesn’t seem healthy, honestly.

Dave Roberts said Stewart is “pitchable” but still working thru “residual soreness” in shoulder. He remains day-to-day, but Roberts said it’s possible he’s activated before end of week
