Just one week remains until the 2026 season\u2019s trade deadline, which this year is August 3rd. The Dodgers are expected to be sellers as opposed to buyers, as this year there are more teams still involved in a playoff run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Dodgers also will have a little trade deadline action of their own, so to speak. Edwin D\u00edaz, Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez, and Blake Snell are all expected back soon, with Hern\u00e1ndez slated to return to the team on Tuesday. As always, the Dodgers will be in on any big-name players, such as Tarik Skubal, should he become available. But for the most part, the team could be looking to part ways with some current players to bolster their farm system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Eric Lauer and Alex Call are two names that could potentially be shopped, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7472033\/2026\/07\/27\/dodgers-mlb-trade-deadline-ohtani-snell\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to Katie Woo<\/a> at The Athletic. Lauer came over in a trade in mid-May when Tyler Glasnow hit the IL. He has handled being an inning eater well- the team has yet to lose a game that he starts. While keeping him for depth would be the prudent thing to do, the Dodgers could flip him for some prospects like they did with Dustin May last season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Call being traded makes a little more sense, now that both Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s are back from the IL. His being another handed bat makes him redundant, and the Dodgers are looking to add to their farm system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Shohei Ohtani is not currently pitching, and the front office and manager Dave Roberts insist that that will not affect their actions at the deadline. Meanwhile, he remains in the lineup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201cFrom his words, the hitting, the running, as he has done the last couple nights, doesn\u2019t affect him,\u201d Roberts said. \u201cI can only go by what he and the training staff are telling me. So, unless I hear otherwise, that hitting compromises his health, then I\u2019m going to keep putting him in the lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Edwin D\u00edaz is slated to return to the team on Wednesday. Tyler Glasnow faced live hitters on Friday, and he is expected to make one rehab part before he returns to the rotation. Blake Snell is slated to make his third rehab start on Wednesday in Triple-A Oklahoma City. This outing will be about 60 pitches, and the team would prefer to have his get up to 75 pitches before he comes back. However, as Katie points out, the Dodgers do not have another off day until August 6th and might prefer to bring him back before he reaches that threshold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u2018Tis the season.
