The Dodgers placed pitcher Tarik Skubal on bereavement leave following his Saturday start, per multiple reports. The move opened a roster spot that facilitated the recall of Emmet Sheehan from Triple-A Oklahoma City to face the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.
Along with Sheehan's return, the Dodgers also recalled reliever Kyle Hurt and optioned Seth Halvorsen, according to Yahoo Sports and True Blue LA. The nature of Skubal's bereavement leave was not disclosed in the available reporting.
Sportsnet reported, citing the AP, that the Dodgers hope to have Shohei Ohtani available soon, though the timing of his return was not specified. One outlet also noted that Will Tucker was out of the Sunday lineup, though details on the reason were not provided.
