Dodgers activate RHP Tyler Glasnow, move RHP Michael Kopech to 60-day
The Los Angeles Dodgers activated right-handed starter Tyler Glasnow from the 60-day injured list, while moving right-hander reliever Michael Kopeck to the 60-day IL with right knee inflammation.
In order to get Glasnow on the active roster to face the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday afternoon, the club optioned right-hander Alexis Diaz to Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Glasnow, 31, last appeared in a major league game on April 27 and has been on the mend ever since with shoulder inflammation. He was 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in five starts before his injury. Over 10 seasons with three clubs, including six with the Tampa Bay Rays, Glasnow is 40-33 with a 3.83 ERA over 154 appearances (115 starts).
Kopech, 29, was acquired from the Chicago White Sox last season and was a key member of the bullpen in the Dodgers' run to a World Series title last season. He started the season on the IL with elbow and shoulder injuries before not allowing a run in eight appearances this season.
Kopech received a pain-killing injection to his knee last week after going on the IL July 1 and will not be eligible to return until the end of August.
Diaz, 28, was acquired by Los Angeles in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds on May 29 but has not made an appearance with his new club. He was 18-14 with 75 saves and a 3.21 ERA in four seasons with the Reds, including an All-Star Game appearance in 2023.
In an additional move, the Dodgers traded outfielder Steward Berroa to the Brewers for cash considerations. Berroa, who had 28 games of major league experience with the Toronto Blue Jays last season, was designated for assignment last week.

New faces fitting in with Royals, Blue Jays
(Photo credit: Kevin Sousa-Imagn Images) After reaping an immediate reward from a trade-deadline deal, the Kansas City Royals are positioned Saturday afternoon to clinch their three-game series against the host Toronto Blue Jays. Mike Yastrzemski hit a two-run home run in the second inning Friday night in his first plate appearance for the Royals. The outfielder was obtained from the San Francisco Giants, the trade just beating the clock by about 90 seconds in the Royals' final deal on Thursday. Yastrzemski's was the first of four homers Friday by the Royals, who won the series opener 9-3. Bobby Witt Jr. launched a three-run shot, Adam Frazier a two-run blast, and Salvador Perez a solo homer. Frazier is another recent Royals acquisition, joining them on July 16. Yastrzemski said: 'It was the first time I was able to relax today just getting back on the field. It was nice to put a couple of good swings on the ball and have a little bit of an impact here.' Witt was impressed. 'What Yaz did in showing up and hitting a homer,' Witt said. '... Shout out to him coming off the plane and doing that to put together a professional at-bat.'Starter Kevin Gausman and reliever Mason Fluharty allowed two homers each in alarming trend for Toronto. 'I think the biggest thing we have to get going is on the mound,' manager John Schneider said. 'That is 16 home runs in the last five or six games, so it's tough to catch a ball when it's in the seats.' Royals starter Michael Wacha turned in a brilliant eight-inning outing in which he allowed one run on three hits. The win left the Royals at .500 for the first time since June 20, when they were 38-38. In three starts since the All-Star break, Wacha is 1-0 with a 1.40 ERA. 'We knew Wacha was going to go out there and be Wacha,' Witt said. 'And so, we got to put some runs on the board and enjoy it.' The Royals have won three games in a row while the Blue Jays have dropped five of six. Kansas City is scheduled to start left-handed rookie Noah Cameron (5-4, 2.44 ERA) in the middle game of the series. He has never faced Toronto, which is slated to go with right-hander Max Scherzer (1-1, 4.89). He is 13-5 with a 3.22 ERA in 23 career starts against the Royals. The Blue Jays used two players obtained from the Minnesota Twins before the deadline in the loss on Friday. Reliever Louis Varland pitched a perfect seventh, and designated hitter Ty France was 0-for-4. 'I'm excited. This is a great baseball team,' France said of joining the American League East-leading Blue Jays. 'It's always nice coming into a winning environment, a winning atmosphere. You can't ask for more than playing meaningful baseball at this time of the year. I'm excited to be here, and we'll see where things go.' Toronto center fielder Daulton Varsho was activated from the injured list and was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts on Friday. In another move, Toronto put outfielder George Springer on the seven-day concussion list. Catcher Alejandro Kirk (concussion) could return this weekend. Kansas City reinstated infielder/outfielder Nick Loftin from the concussion IL and optioned outfielder MJ Melendez to Triple-A Omaha. Loftin was 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter and played third base in the ninth.
