Chris Taylor has joined the OKC rehab squad in Las Vegas. He's in tonight's lineup, batting second and playing at second base. Max Muncy back in there today after yesterday's scheduled day off. Tommy Edman has a scheduled day off today. #Dodgers

OKC's first back-to-back-to-back homers since June 9, 2017 hit by Joc Pederson, Scott Van Slyke, and Willie Calhoun against Round Rock's Tyson Ross. Ross is now a roving pitching instructor in the Dodgers organization, because everything comes full circle.

After a nice run in the Dodgers bullpen and subsequently clearing waivers following his DFA, Brent Honeywell accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A in lieu of free agency. Arrived in OKC today and will likely be active tomorrow.

OKC's first one-hit shutout in a nine-inning game since Aug. 9, 2016 at Iowa. The four pitchers were Brock Stewart, Ralston Cash (!), Randy Choate (!!), and Jacob Rhame. Batting second for OKC and going 2-for-4 with a homer? Yasiel Puig.

OKC will be deGrom's opponent Tuesday night in Round Rock. Incredibly, deGrom will be the fourth multiple Cy Young Award winner to pitch in a game involving OKC this season, joining Clayton Kershaw, Max Scherzer, and Blake Snell.

Jacob deGrom finished his rehab start against OKC after retiring all six batters over 2 innings. OKC has faced deGrom, Blake Snell and Max Scherzer this season and here are their combined totals: 11.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 17 K

Don't typically tweet about opposing players, but holy smokes was Kumar Rocker something else in his Triple-A debut tonight against OKC. Retired 15 of 16 in 5 innings with 10 strikeouts. Generated 15 whiffs. Threw 67 total pitches.

First time Rushing is catching since joining OKC, and first time since August 3 with Tulsa. Cartaya has caught four straight games (span of five days with no game Monday) in OKC/Round Rock August heat.

An only in Minor League Baseball moment before tonight’s game on the field in Round Rock with a group of nuns right next to a pair of Chik-Fil-A mascots.

Tony Gonsolin is physically present in OKC and will start a rehab assignment tonight. It will the 15th rehab start for OKC this season -- joining Buehler, Kershaw, Miller, and Yamamoto. Gonsolin will also be the 16th different Dodger to rehab with OKC this year. That's a lot.

A bit of a full circle moment for Petersen. During the COVID shutdown in 2020 he played with a men's league team back home called the San Jose Marlins. Many of his teammates/opponents had no idea he was already a pro and would encourage him to give it a shot. 😂

Tony Gonsolin -- barely a year removed from Tommy John surgery -- retired 6 of 8 batters faced on rehab assignment tonight in OKC. 2.0 IP | 2 H | 0 R | 0 BB | 3 K 32 pitches/24 strikes #Dodgers

It's never too late to sign a minor league free agent. #Dodgers have signed lefty Zach Logue, and he'll start for OKC tonight. Logue put up great numbers with Atlanta's Triple-A team this season and was recently DFA. Has ML experience with Oakland and Detroit the last 2 years.

Tonight is "In My OKC Era" night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, paying homage to a certain pop superstar. I felt it was appropriate/necessary to stick with the theme in today's game notes.

With Carlos Duran starting tonight, it will be the third straight game a pitcher makes his first start for OKC this season. Including openers for bullpen games, it's now 31 (!!) different SP. Duran will also be the third pitcher in three days to make his Triple-A debut.
