What I’m hearing about the Dodgers at the trade deadline: Ohtani’s injury, Snell’s return and LA’s approach

The Los Angeles Dodgers split a Sunday doubleheader against the New York Yankees but won the series, aided by a complete-game victory from Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game 1. Shohei Ohtani has been ruled out of the rotation indefinitely due to left knee irritation that has affected him since mid-June, while catcher Will Smith was shut down from all baseball activity over the All-Star break and is not expected to return until mid-August at the earliest. Heading into the trade deadline, the Dodgers plan to make marginal improvements rather than pursue major acquisitions that could compromise the team's depth.
