The Dodgers will open the second half with three consecutive road series before returning home July 28 for a three-game series against the Mariners, followed by another three-game set against Boston that runs through Aug. 2. Hernandez was cleared to begin taking live BP last weekend, and he will presumably head out on a minor-league rehab assignment after the break while the Dodgers are on the road.

Stone was shut down for several weeks after feeling discomfort following his first Cactus League appearance. He resumed throwing in early April at the team's spring training facility in Arizona, but according to Roberts, Stone's shoulder issue "sort of shows itself again" when the hurler attempts to advance in his throwing program. Roberts added Tuesday of Stone that he's "not sure exactly where he's at in this progression," but clearly he is not going to be an option in the majors anytime soon.

Casparius has been cleared to start a throwing program, but he's evidently not close to a return yet, which is why the Dodgers bumped him over to the 60-day injured list. This clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for Jonathan Hernandez, who was signed to a deal with LA on Monday.

During his most recent outing Tuesday, Knack built up to 2.2 innings and 50 pitches (30 strikes) while striking out four batters and allowing no runs on one hit and one walk. He'll look to build up his pitch count a bit more Sunday and will likely require one more rehab start beyond that before potentially returning from the 60-day injured list coming out of the All-Star break. The Dodgers aren't expected to have a rotation spot available for Knack, but he could join the big club as a long reliever if he isn't optioned to Triple-A upon his activation from the IL.

Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that the club is approaching Glasnow's rehab with caution, so it's not clear at this time when he could resume throwing off a mound. The right-hander has been on the injured list since early May after experiencing lower-back spasms and remains without a clear timetable for a return.

This is another step in the right direction for Snell, who tossed a 15-pitch bullpen session Friday without issue. Manager Dave Roberts stated that Snell will need to get through two live BP sessions before gaining clearance to go out on a rehab assignment, per Vassegh, which could seemingly happen sometime next week if all goes according to plan. A clear timetable for the southpaw's return should start to come into focus once he embarks on a rehab stint.

Smith has been on the injured list since June 11 with neck inflammation and isn't expected to return before the All-Star break, but his return to hitting and throwing are both good signs that he's finally starting to turn a corner in his recovery. He will almost certainly require a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the active roster.

The live BP was Diaz's second over a four-day span and marked another step forward in his recovery from the elbow surgery he underwent in late April. The expectation remains that Diaz will need to embark on a rehab stint before being activated from the 60-day IL, but even so he appears in line to return to the Dodgers' bullpen not long after the All-Star break.

Treinen is working his way through a throwing program after landing on the injured list June 20 due to right elbow inflammation, but the Dodgers aren't counting on him to return until after the All-Star break. Once he's activated, Treinen will likely handle a middle-innings or setup role out of the Los Angeles bullpen.
