Dodgers finalize postseason rotation while battling offensive struggles
Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers finished August with a 13-14 record, continuing a two-month trend of inconsistent offensive play. The team scored only 104 runs throughout the month while allowing 106, marking their second consecutive month of being outscored. Despite the offensive malaise, the team successfully established a primary postseason rotation following the return of Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow from the injured list. This core group, which also includes Tarik Skubal and Yohsinobu Yamamoto, posted a combined 2.22 ERA across 16 starts. With four weeks remaining in the regular season, the team prepares for a stretch of 25 games in 27 days, including 15 contests at Dodger Stadium. The club holds a 14-year streak of playoff berths despite recent offensive challenges.
