President of Baseball Ops Andrew Friedman reflects on the team's depth and organizational effort, noting deepening relationships with players year over year. Injury/status roundup: Blake Snell (groin tightness, expected to make one more start), Edgardo Henriquez (low-grade back strain, targeting October return), Edwin Díaz (neck inflammation, expected back Sept. 18), Andy Pages (likely back Sept. 18–24), Roki Sasaki (finger blister, targeting Padres series Sept. 22–24), Shohei Ohtani (swing progression underway, earliest return Sept. 23), and Will Smith (right elbow, won't catch again this season). Game recap: Tucker 4-for-5, Freeman 2-for-3 with 2 runs, Miguel Rojas 2-for-5 with a homer; Justin Wrobleski/Landon Knack pitched well, offense scored 8 runs on 12 hits. The Walk Off: Closing walk-off segment features Freddie Freeman reflecting on his 10th career division title and thanking fans, while nodding to Shohei Ohtani ("DH") to get healthy for October.
