Dodgers begin deadline with minor trade, while still seeking upgrades in bullpen and outfield
What's the opposite of a splash? Because that's how the Dodgers started their trade deadline activity late Wednesday night. On the eve of MLB's annual trade deadline (which is Thursday at 3 p.m. PDT), the Dodgers were the tertiary party in a three-team trade with the Cincinnati Reds and Tampa Bay Rays. While the biggest piece in the deal — starting pitcher Zack Littell — went from Tampa Bay to Cincinnati, the Dodgers were included in a swap of some lesser-name players. Minor league catcher Hunter Feduccia, a longtime Dodgers farmhand having a nice season with triple-A Oklahoma City, was sent to Tampa Bay. In return, the Dodgers received pitching prospect Adam Serwinowski from the Reds, as well as reliever Paul Gervase and catcher Ben Rortvedt from the Rays, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly. Serwinowski is the most intriguing name the Dodgers acquired. A 21-year-old left-hander who was ranked as the No. 10 prospect in the Reds' farm system by MLB Pipeline, the former 15th-round draft pick has been a favorite of Dodgers' evaluators for a while, according to another person with knowledge of the team's thinking. While Serwinowski has a 4.84 ERA in high-A this season, the Dodgers are excited by his potential and add him to a farm system that is lacking the depth of impact pitching prospects it usually touts. Read more: Shohei Ohtani leaves pitching start because of cramping, Dodgers go on to lose to Reds Gervase is a 25-year-old reliever who debuted in the majors this year with the Rays, posting a 4.26 ERA in five outings this year. Rortvedt is a 27-year-old journeyman catcher who will help provide organizational depth in Feduccia's absence, alongside current triple-A backstops Chris Okey and Chuckie Robinson. For a team that has been linked to some of the bigger names on this year's trade market, it was far from the blockbuster many fans have been waiting on. Granted, the Dodgers are still expected to be active on Thursday. Their need for a reliever remains, even though they remained idle on Wednesday as other top options, from Jhoan Durán to Ryan Helsley to Tyler Rogers, were dealt elsewhere. The club is still hoping to add another hitter to their lineup too, with an upgrade in the outfield (especially defensively) seen as a priority, according to a person with knowledge of the club's thinking. Whether the Dodgers can land the impact additions they seek, in what has been a seller's market defined by high acquisition costs to this point, remains to be seen. But at least they won't go into deadline day without having made any deals, with Wednesday night's late-night transaction expected to be the first of several moves they make ahead of Thursday's trade cutoff.

Saving small-town football: Sacramento region 8-man league launches this season
Fans will notice some big changes to small-school football across the Sacramento region this upcoming season as the countdown to kickoff is just weeks away. For the first time, the CIF Sac-Joaquin section is making 8-man football an official sport. It comes as there is a nationwide decline in high school tackle football participation. "This is a new change for the Sac-Joaquin Section this year. We've had issues with schools being unable to finish seasons and field teams, and it came to a head last year with several teams either dropping or not fielding tackle football teams," said Will DeBoard, assistant commissioner for the section. Delta only has a varsity team. They downsized the program back in the 2000s due to declining interest. On the football roster this season: just 16 players. Moving to 8-man was the best decision to help keep their small-town program alive. It's a pre-season learning curve, adjusting to playing with fewer guys on the field. "Games tend to be much more high-scoring at 8-man. If you miss a tackle, players are gone," said Tim Rapp, Delta's head football coach for the past five years. The teams are not only playing with fewer athletes on the field, but on a smaller field itself. "It's about running your plays tight. We are used to that 52-yard wide field, and now at 40, you're going to be running patterns and realizing, 'I'm out of bounds.' It tightens it up a little more," said Rapp. "Defense is gonna be a challenge because it's new, potentially only having one linebacker at times and playing zone defenses, things like that. We've got some challenges ahead of us. But we are ready." It's a challenge the team is meeting head-on. At first, the Delta Saints were not exactly enthusiastic about the change. "It's definitely a different take on it," said senior running back and cornerback Marcello Viramontes. "We don't have as many people blocking, especially for a running back. It's harder. But [the other team] has the same amount of guys, so it's even." It makes the playing field a bit fairer for teams that were often outmatched by tougher squads with a much larger roster. For Viramontes, the ups outweigh the downs. "I feel like I have more reps. As a running back and especially as a corner, with how fast paced it is and a lot of throwing is gonna be involved," said Viramontes. In addition, Coach Rapp added that Delta will host seven home games this year. Last season, they only had three. It's a chance for the team to dream big and possibly win big. "A lot of the hype for the small schools, including us, is now we have a chance to compete for a section championship," said Rapp. Another change is that there will be an 8-man championship this year. The teams will compete at Sacramento City College's Hughes Stadium the same weekend as the traditional seven tackle football championships.

Telling Video Of Shohei Ohtani In Dugout Emerges After Injury
Telling Video Of Shohei Ohtani In Dugout Emerges After Injury originally appeared on The Spun. A telling video of Shohei Ohtani in the dugout following his removal from Wednesday night's game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds has emerged. Ohtani, 31, left Wednesday night's start against the Reds. The superstar slugger, who returned to the mound this year after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023 and missing all of 2024 as a pitcher, had a troubling moment on the mound on Wednesday night. Ohtani threw six straight balls in the bottom of the fourth inning in Cincinnati. The Japan native looked visibly frustrated on the mound. He had a discussion with the team's trainer before walking off of the mound. Ohtani then departed into the clubhouse. If Ohtani is seriously injured, he's not showing it right now. A telling video has emerged of Ohtani in the dugout immediately following his apparent injury on Wednesday night. The Los Angeles Dodgers' two-way star looked OK in the dugout immediately following his injury. Ohtani was sitting down in the dugout, rather than getting treatment or possible medical scans down in the clubhouse. You would think that is an encouraging sign, but you never really know with pitcher injuries. Ohtani video after injury is encouraging The telling video shows a frustrated Ohtani in the dugout, but he doesn't appear to be in any serious pain. The fact that he's in the dugout, rather than down below in the clubhouse, is fairly encouraging, too. Here's the video: "Shohei Ohtani initially went back to the clubhouse after leaving the mound, but he is back in the dugout." Ohtani was pulled in the middle of an at-bat. He had thrown 51 pitches, allowed 5 hits and one run. He had struck out four batters and walked one. You're not removing Ohtani from the middle of an at-bat without some kind of injury. You just have to hope that at this point, it's nothing too serious. The Dodgers and the Reds are currently in the fourth inning of their game on Wednesday night. The 2025 MLB trade deadline is set for Thursday. You now have to wonder if the Dodgers will make a starting pitching move, though time is running out. Telling Video Of Shohei Ohtani In Dugout Emerges After Injury first appeared on The Spun on Jul 31, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
