The Dodgers are gearing up for the NL division series as they evaluate player performance. Kyle Tucker demonstrated a notable improvement in September, achieving an OPS of.889, contrasting with his earlier struggles. On a less positive note, Freddie Freeman faced challenges with a.184 batting average last month, though he reports no knee pain as he works to regain form. Shohei Ohtani has returned from injury and appears to be on track for postseason readiness. Andy Pages has shown confidence at the plate, posting a 1.181 OPS since returning from injury.
