The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres, 3-0, on Saturday night and improved to 59-31 on the year. Right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto struck out 10 and allowed just three hits across seven scoreless innings of work in another dominant performance.Offensively, Freddie Freeman had a two-hit game including a solo home run in the sixth inning as his batting average improved to .297 on the year. Andy Pages brought in a run of his own in the third as the Dodgers' designated hitter in place of superstar Shohei Ohtani. Yamamoto, Pages, Freeman and Max Muncy were all named All-Stars on Saturday, joining Ohtani for the game.The reason that Ohtani wasn't in the lineup was right biceps tightness he experienced the night prior. Manager Dave Roberts took him out of Friday's game and held him out of Saturday's eventual win, but had a positive update on his two-way star.“He got treatment last night. Today he feels considerably better,” Roberts said on Saturday. “If things trend the way we would expect, then he’ll be in there [Sunday].”The tightness Ohtani experienced was at the end of a 110-pitch outing while hurling 98.8 mph fastballs. His 15 whiffs generated and nine strikeouts across six innings pitched contributed to LA's come-from-behind win on Friday. In other news, the Dodgers demoted a veteran catcher on Saturday. In a corresponding move, a rookie slashing .313/.392/.422 this season in Triple-A is getting his first opportunity in the big leagues. Finally, a starting pitcher is also at risk of losing his spot despite a solid season thus far. Roberts touched on his All-Star pitchers on the shelf nearing a return as a potential reason for the uncertainty. “Until [Snell and Glasnow] get back," he said of how long the pitcher has. "We just don’t know when. He’s just got to stay focused on doing his job. Then when that time comes we’ll see what happens.”Here’s all the latest Dodgers news and stories (click the headline for the full article): Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani Won't Play Saturday vs Padres, Could Miss Next Pitching Start With Injury Dodgers to Promote Rookie Hitting .313 Amid Tragedy: Reports Dodgers Manager Hints at Starting Pitcher Losing His Job Despite Strong Results Dodgers' Dave Roberts Defends Dalton Rushing Amid Shohei Ohtani Pitching Struggles Dodgers Lineup vs Padres: Shohei Ohtani Out With InjuryDodgers Tweets of the DayYoshinobu Yamamoto just dominated the Padres on Saturday night:7 IP3 H0 ER2 BB10 K100 pitches/16 whiffs His season ERA is down to 2.49 for the Dodgers. pic.twitter.com/MEM7lARZNl— Noah Camras (@noahcamras) July 5, 2026That's our All-Star, Freddie Freeman! pic.twitter.com/9J5SLlXkI4— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 5, 2026Yoshinobu with an All-Star curve. 🤮 pic.twitter.com/QsLOcWznqr— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 5, 2026Happy #4thOfJuly! pic.twitter.com/uHv9Jvv3pD— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 5, 2026Good night. #4thOfJuly pic.twitter.com/SPg3AT3CA8— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 5, 2026¡Andy produce la primera carrera del juego! pic.twitter.com/WAjzHzExLc— Los Dodgers (@LosDodgers) July 5, 2026It's A250 Commemorative Coin Night presented by Budweiser! #4thOfJuly pic.twitter.com/Q7VxV45nHh— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 5, 2026Dodgers manager Dave Roberts admitted a starting pitcher is likely to lose his spot in the rotation despite his strong numbers⬇️⬇️ pic.twitter.com/t9JZtOAmhs— Dodgers On SI (@DodgersOnSI) July 4, 2026Congratulations to our All-Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ pic.twitter.com/LyITtY6zMO— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 5, 2026— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 5, 2026The World Series MVP.Congratulations Yoshinobu on your second All-Star Game selection and being named a 2026 NL pitcher! pic.twitter.com/LlKSAmjwYd— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) July 5, 2026Sign up for our free newsletter and follow us on X/Twitter and Facebook for the latest news.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
