By admin — In News — September 22, 2026

   ​In this week’s Injury Report, the Dodgers are getting a number of key players back this week as they prepare for another deep playoff run in their quest to three-peat. Alex Bregman hopes to return sometime in the postseason after suffering multiple facial fractures in a terrible, freak accident on the on-deck circle. And Dylan Cease has likely made his last start after experiencing shoulder fatigue. That and more in the final week’s injury report.⚾️ Baseball is back! MLB returns to NBC and Peacock in 2026!

Manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Sunday that the 32-year-old star should be expected to return from the injured list and join the Dodgers lineup on Wednesday. Ohtani should be in the lineup for the remaining games to get some needed at-bats before the postseason.

Their returns likely shift rookie Josue De Paula to a reserve or utility role.On the pitching side, Snell left his start last Wednesday against the Reds with left groin tightness. He stated the issue was not serious and plans on making one more start before the postseason. That start isn’t going to come when his spot in the rotation comes up on Tuesday, but the plan is for him to pitch over the weekend, according to Roberts.The 2026 MLB Season from A to Z: Yordan Alvarez, PCA, Jacob Misiorowski and moreFrom Yordan Alvarez to Zack Wheeler, an A-to-Z look at the players, performances, and trends that defined the 2026 MLB regular season.

The team is hoping to get their 32-year-old star third baseman back at some point in the postseason, and it is a relief that the injury didn’t result in anything more serious. Meanwhile, Sasaki was activated on Monday after missing some time with a blister issue and will pitch as a one-inning reliever, auditioning for a spot in the Dodgers bullpen in the postseason.Dylan Cease (shoulder)Cease has likely made his final start of the season.
