The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed pitcher Noah Syndergaard on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his right index finger, which is related to a blister/fingernail issue that has plagued him all year. Syndergaard's struggles on the mound have left him with an ERA of 7.16 through 12 starts, and the Dodgers are in need of a mental and physical reset for the former All-Star. The team is expected to replace Syndergaard in the rotation with rookie starters Bobby Miller and Michael Grove.

Bryce Harper was unable to put on his cumbersome elbow brace in the allotted time due to the pitch clock, which doesn't wait for anyone, not even a two-time National League MVP who recently returned from Tommy John elbow surgery. The Phillies think the umpires should have discretion to pause the clock for special circumstances. The Phillies allowed a double-digit run total in each of the three games against the Dodgers, and almost no one was immune. The biggest issue is the back of the rotation, specifically Taijuan Walker and Bailey Falter, who have 6.91 and 5.01 ERAs, respectively. Andrew Painter continues to play catch off flat ground from at least 90 feet on almost a daily basis in Clearwater, Fla., and “hasn’t had any issues,” according to agent Scott Boras, in his recovery from a torn ligament in his throwing elbow in spring training.
