The Los Angeles Dodgers lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4, on Thursday evening and moved to 73-49 on the year, two games back of the Brewers for the No. 1 seed in the National League. The Dodgers took a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning when Max Muncy slugged a three-run home run to make him the all-time leader in homers at Dodger Stadium with 131.However, in the top of the ninth inning, All-Star closer Edwin Díaz blew yet another save, getting charged with three runs in the loss.Ahead of the eventual defeat, the Dodgers inked a deal with a relief pitcher familiar to the organization. In a corresponding roster move, the Dodgers optioned right-hander Landon Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City. In other news, there is an update regarding All-Star catcher Will Smith and the inflamed disc in his neck that has held him out since early June. Though the earliest one can expect Smith back is still a few weeks away, manager Dave Roberts provided the latest on his backstop.“He’s been throwing, [doing] the weight room stuff each day,” Roberts said. “It’s been better, so this is going to be a big week for Will. And my expectation is that he should be taking some coaches’ batting practice at some point this week.”Finally, former Dodgers All-Star Tony Gonsolin inked a deal with an American League squad after going unsigned for most of the 2026 campaign. The contract includes a team option for next season as the right-hander continues to sit on the injured list while recovering from elbow surgery. Gonsolin was drafted by LA in the ninth round of the 2016 draft and debuted for the Dodgers with a 2.93 ERA across his first 40 big league innings in 2019. He finished fourth in Rookie of the Year voting the following year and earned his first All-Star selection during the 2022 season with a 2.14 ERA across an MLB-leading (in terms of percentage)16-1 record on the mound. Since 2023, he's undergone two major elbow surgeries.Here’s all the latest Dodgers news and stories (click the headline for the full article): Dodgers Sign Reliever, Demote Landon Knack Ahead of Brewers Series Dodgers' Will Smith Still Remains Far Away From Returning Former Dodgers All-Star Tony Gonsolin Suddenly Signs With Surprise Team Dodgers Announce Starting Pitchers for Critical 4-Game Series vs Brewers Dodgers Could Lose Shohei Ohtani if Mark Walter Sells Team Dodgers Lineup vs Brewers: Freddie Freeman Starting After Scary Fall, Mookie Betts OutDodgers Tweets of the Day— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) August 13, 2026Max Muncy is the new Dodger Stadium all-time home run leader! pic.twitter.com/qej4p6doby— MLB (@MLB) August 14, 2026— MLB (@MLB) August 14, 2026Not on Ben's watch 😤 pic.twitter.com/DHBGCJ66je— SportsNet LA (@SportsNetLA) August 14, 2026Former Dodgers RHP Tony Gonsolin has found a new home in MLB, signing with a surprise team🚨🚨🚨🚨The former All-Star is recovering from his second major elbow surgery⬇️⬇️ pic.twitter.com/qgp05HzQED— Dodgers On SI (@DodgersOnSI) August 13, 2026Kersh got his big bobblehead. 😂 Will you be here?
