Potential wants: Aid pitching, infield depth, outfield depth, rotation depth
In an instance of how deadline plans can shortly evolve, this checklist of wants would have been shorter if the Dodgers’ outlook piece had been written even every week in the past. Simply inside the previous few days, Max Muncy sustained a bone bruise in his left knee that can preserve him out till mid-August, Enrique Hernandez was positioned on the 10-day injured checklist as a result of lingering elbow irritation that has been bothering the utilityman for over a month, Tommy Edman suffered a hairline fracture in his proper child toe after being hit by a pitch, and Teoscar Hernandez is day-to-day after fouling a ball off his left foot.
