The catcher ends the regular season with a .264/.331/.307 slash line, one home run, three steals, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored over 156 plate appearances this year. He is likely to continue operating in a reserve role behind Will Smith heading into the postseason. 2 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Chris Taylor - Homers in Sunday's win Taylor went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.Impact Taylor started all three games at Colorado this weekend while the Dodgers rested some regulars. He went 6-for-10 with two steals over those contests, a rare productive stretch in a season that saw the utility man more frequently confined to a bench role. Overall, he slashed .202/.298/.300 with four homers, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored and five steals across 246 plate appearances, which was his lightest workload in a full-length season since 2016. 2 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Shohei Ohtani - Finishes with 59 steals Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.Impact Ohtani swiped 11 bases over his last 11 games of the season, ending the year with 59 steals on 63 attempts. He hit a mind-blowing .583 (28-for-48) in that span while adding six home runs and 20 RBI. He played in a career-high 159 games, posting a .310/.390/.646 slash line with 54 homers, 130 RBI, 134 runs scored, 38 doubles and seven triples. By most measures, it was a career year for Ohtani, who will look to continue leading the Dodgers' offense as he enters the postseason for the first time. 2 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Edgardo Henriquez - Picks up first big-league save Henriquez walked one and struck out two over a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rockies.Impact Henriquez was able to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning, earning his first big-league save in just his third appearance in the majors. He has allowed one run and two hits with a 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings since his call-up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. The flame-throwing prospect pitched at five levels in 2024, though his current stint in the majors is likely just a cup of coffee to prepare him for 2025. 3 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Landon Knack - Yields one run as bulk reliever Knack allowed a run on five hits and struck out four without walking a batter over four innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Sunday.Impact Knack worked behind an opener Sunday, likely in preparation for his role during the postseason. The 27-year-old was a little shaky in September, yielding 12 runs over 21 innings across five appearances, though he had a 25:6 K:BB in that span. Overall, he put together a strong rookie year with a 3.65 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 69:18 K:BB across 69 innings over 15 appearances (12 starts). 3 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
