Los Angeles Dodgers DFS SPIN
Dodgers transferred LHP Clayton Kershaw from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster as the Dodgers made a couple of waiver claims on Monday. It doesn’t really impact Kershaw’s timetable, as he’s had to slow things down working his way back from a forearm injury. The earliest he can return is September 5.
Philadelphia Phillies DFS Spin
J.T. Realmuto blasted his 13th home run of the season on Sunday during a 1-for-3 effort in the Phillies win over the Mets.

Realmuto is having a quiet but productive season, batting .271 with 13 home runs and seven stolen bases over 321 at-bats.
