The Dodgers got the band back together in the final week of the regular season, with Shohei Ohtani, Andy Pages, and Roki Sasaki all getting activated from the injured list.
Ohtani didn’t yet get results, while Pages and Sasaki did. The Dodgers won four out of six games, including a weekend sweep in San Francisco to finish with an even 100 wins on the season.
Batter of the week
Andy Pages returned from missing four weeks with a broken hand, and led the Dodgers with two home runs, both hit in San Francisco over the weekend.
Honorable mention goes to catcher Will Smith, who has been very solid since returning from a long injured-list stint, including six hits in 13 at-bats last week plus three walks.
Pitcher of the week
Tarik Skubal was dominant on Friday night in San Francisco, allowing only three singles and no walks in seven scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts. It was the kind of game, at only 75 pitches, that might have been a complete game earlier in the season, but with this being the left-hander’s final tuneup of the regular season, those seven frames were enough.
It was the first scoreless start with double-digit strikeouts this season for Skubal, and the eighth of his career.
