The Los Angeles Dodgers are exploring a potential trade for pitcher Tarik Skubal as the MLB deadline approaches. With injuries impacting their rotation, including Shohei Ohtani's knee setback, the Dodgers may benefit from acquiring the two-time Cy Young Award winner. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged Ohtani's recovery limitations and confirmed Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell are returning from injuries. The Dodgers could offer prospects and current players, including pitcher Emmet Sheehan, to land Skubal, who has also dealt with injuries this season but returned earlier than expected. The team's strategy may also address needs at catcher with uncertainty surrounding Will Smith's health.
