Shohei Ohtani

Shohei Ohtani hit a solo homer in the ninth in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Ohtani is now up to 11 homers on the season. This one came in the ninth inning, but it came with the Dodgers trailing by three runs. Still counts. That homer gives him 16 RBI on the season and a .296/.405/.627 slash. Decent.

Michael Kopech walked all five batters he faced Thursday in his first rehab appearances with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Five walks on 23 pitches is scary stuff. Just one of the 23 was swung at, and it was fouled off. Hopefully, it will quickly prove to be aberration. Kopech has been sidelined by a shoulder impingement since the start of the season.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed five runs over five innings with four strikeouts in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday.
Yamamoto only allowed two hits that scored runs, which is usually good. Two of those were homers, which is less good. One of those homers was a grand slam, which is bad. The 26-year-old has been shaky over his last two starts, but still owns a glowing 1.80 ERA. These things happen. Yamamoto should bounce back Wednesday at home against the Athletics.

Tommy Edman (ankle) was able to take live batting practice on Thursday without any issues.
Edman batted against rehabbing right-hander Emmett Sheehan (elbow) during his session. While he’s eligible to return from the injured list on Saturday, it sounds like the Dodgers are going to wait until the beginning of next week to bring him back into the mix. On the season, the versatile 29-year-old is slashing .252/.295/.523 with eight homers, 24 RBI and a pair of stolen bases through his first 30 games.

Rafael Devers told reporters on Thursday that he is not willing to play first base.
Devers vented his frustration with general manager Craig Breslow, telling reporters including Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic that he doesn’t understand why the team would want him to change positions again after they already asked him to do so during spring training. Perhaps he’s unaware that first baseman Triston Casas suffered a brutal season-ending knee injury and they don’t have any viable replacements. Regardless, this isn’t the type of comment that’s going to gain him any respect or admiration in the clubhouse or the front office.

Rafael Devers went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI, a walk and a steal as the Red Sox topped the Rangers 5-0 on Thursday.
Devers’ steal was his first of the year., and the homer off Jacob Latz was his first versus a left-hander. He now has six homers and 25 RBI in 39 games, and he leads the AL with 29 walks.
Yordan Alvarez

Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters that “hopefully” they’ll get Yordan Alvarez (hand) back in the next “week or so.”
Espada said the muscle strain in Alvarez’s right hand is something he’s dealt with before, and it’s a good thing that the Astros “jumped on the issue early. Let it heal, time off, and get the real Yordan soon.” Alvarez is eligible to be activated off the injured list on Monday, but it seems like later in the week may be a more realistic timeline.
