Dodgers: Shohei Ohtani will make his next start on the mound on Monday as the Dodgers’ two-way superstar progresses toward longer outings after elbow surgery. He’ll open with three innings against the Twins in his sixth start before giving way to Dustin May, manager Dave Roberts said. Ohtani also pitched three innings in his last start at San Francisco last Saturday. He allowed one hit, struck out four and walked one on 36 pitches. The right-hander has a 1.00 ERA, having pitched nine innings total this season. Roberts said Friday that Ohtani will have a multi-inning partner for at least a few more starts. He didn’t pitch at all last season, his first with the Dodgers. “My assumption is that we get up to four innings and then probably a repeat of four,” Roberts said. “At that point then it’s probably a normal game.” The Dodgers begin the second half atop the NL West standings and optimistic about getting reinforcements to bolster their injury-riddled pitching staff. While Ohtani played in the All-Star game in Atlanta this week, Roki Sasaki (shoulder) worked out over the break.

Orioles: RHP Grayson Rodriguez had a setback in his comeback from an elbow injury and the Orioles have shut him down indefinitely. “We had to pull back a little bit on Grayson,” interim manager Tony Mansolino said Friday night. “There’s a little bit of elbow discomfort from the issue he had in spring training — same spot. So we’re going to kind of pull back, we’re going to re-evaluate.” Rodriguez started the season on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation that flared up in spring training. A rehab outing scheduled for April 17 was canceled because of a strained lat muscle.

Mets: Reliever Max Kranick is expected to have season-ending surgery on his right elbow, the latest blow to New York’s injury-depleted bullpen. Kranick was placed on the 15-day injured list June 19 with an elbow strain. He had Tommy John surgery in June 2022 and is facing a second major operation on his pitching arm in 37 months. New York’s bullpen did get a boost Friday when left-hander Brooks Raley was reinstated from the 60-day injured list after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Raley had been sidelined since early in the 2024 season. He finished his minor league rehab assignment with eight scoreless outings across three levels.

Diamondbacks: All-Star 2B Ketel Marte was placed on the restricted list after his home was burglarized during the All-Star break. Marte is dealing with what Scottsdale police called a “high-dollar residential burglary” while he and his family were in Atlanta for the All-Star game.

Brewers: Quinn Priester outpitched Tyler Glasnow for six innings, Caleb Durbin homered and drove in both runs, and the Brewers beat the Dodgers 2-0 for their eighth straight victory Friday night. The Brewers equaled their longest winning streak of the season from May 25 to June 2. They continued their dominance over the NL West leaders, having outscored them 15-4 during a three-game sweep in Milwaukee last week. Priester allowed three hits and struck out a season-high 10 on 77 pitches.

Reds: OF TJ Friedl tied a major league record Friday night when he was hit by a pitch three times — by three different Mets hurlers. The 5-foot-8 Friedl was plunked on the left forearm by a 91 mph fastball from LHP Sean Manaea in the third inning and on the left foot by an 85 mph slider from reliever Alex Carrillo in the fifth.Mets LHP Brandon Waddell then drilled Friedl on the left hand with a 91 mph sinker in the eighth.
