The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Seattle Mariners, 5-3, on Saturday night thanks to a two-run Kiké Hernández double in the top of the ninth inning. LA improved to 92-69 on the year during the penultimate game of the regular season.
Ahead of the eventual victory the Dodgers made a very important roster move to potentially bolster their pitching roster ahead of the postseason. Veteran southpaw Andrew Heaney has a 0.90 ERA across four appearances in Triple-A this season and could prove to be a pivotal piece for the bullpen.
Additionally, slugging third baseman Max Muncy has an injury update. The All-Star at the hot corner has dealt with quite a few ailments this season, but his latest leg injury could not have come at a more inconvenient time with the Wild Card series set to start on Tuesday.
Finally, former Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler signed with the Boston Red Sox this past offseason, but after a 5.45 ERA across 23 appearances, was released. Now with the NL powerhouse Philadelphia Phillies, Buehler has a 0.66 ERA through 13.2 innings of work and touched on the idea of potentially facing his former Dodgers squad this October if the two teams meet up in the NLCS.
