Dodgers Notes: Landon Knack’s October Outlook, Tony Gonsolin Update, Tyler Glasnow to Undergo Tests

The Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves, 9-2 on Sunday night, as the Dodgers belted three consecutive home runs in the ninth inning following a strong outing from Walker Buehler. The Dodgers’ Magic Number to clinch the NL West is 10.

Their rare “wraparound series” in Atlanta concludes today.

Here are all the headlines you might have missed Sunday:

Dave Roberts Addresses Landon Knack’s Playoff Prospects

After a challenging game in which rookie Landon Knack gave up five runs against the Braves, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts remains non-committal about Knack’s inclusion in the playoff rotation. Despite the setback, Roberts looks forward to Knack’s next start and indicates that this performance does not impact his postseason opportunities.

Tony Gonsolin’s Rocky Rehab Continues

Tony Gonsolin faced another hurdle in his recovery process, struggling in his second rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City and casting doubts on his readiness for the postseason. As the Dodgers prepare for a playoffs with an already depleted rotation, Gonsolin’s status is in question.

Uncertainty Surrounds Glasnow’s Season After He Leaves Team

Tyler Glasnow added to the Dodgers’ injury woes with a sprained right elbow, a 180-degree turn on the same weekend he was set to throw a simulated game against teammates. The right-hander cleared out his locker in Atlanta in order to undergo testing, and the Dodgers will await his long-term prognosis while planning their October rotation without him.
