## Dodgers notes: Jack Flaherty has hamstring tightness, Miguel Rojas will have offseason surgery **Los Angeles Dodgers** right-hander Jack Flaherty is dealing with hamstring tightness and will be re-evaluated in a few days, manager Dave Roberts said Saturday. Flaherty, who was acquired from the **St. Louis Cardinals** in a trade last month, has not pitched since Aug. 26 due to a shoulder injury. He was scheduled to start Saturday's game against the **Philadelphia Phillies**, but was scratched due to the hamstring issue. "He felt it running the bases the other day," Roberts said. "We're going to give him a couple of days to see how it responds." Roberts said Flaherty is still expected to start a game before the end of the regular season. In other injury news, Dodgers shortstop Miguel Rojas will have offseason surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb. Rojas suffered the injury in a game against the **Arizona Diamondbacks** on Sept. 10. Roberts said Rojas will have surgery in the next few weeks and is expected to be ready for the start of spring training. "It's a tough break for Miguel," Roberts said. "He's been playing really well for us. But we're confident he'll make a full recovery and be ready to go next year." **Julio Urías, Ryan Pepiot, and Tony Gonsolin Starting Rotation Plans** With Flaherty's latest injury, Julio Urías, Ryan Pepiot, and Tony Gonsolin will likely be the Dodgers' three starters down the stretch. Urías will continue to pitch on regular rest, while Pepiot and Gonsolin will likely pitch on a six-man rotation. Pepiot has been one of the Dodgers' most impressive starters since being called up from Triple-A in June. He has a 3.98 ERA in 10 starts and has struck out 56 batters in 54 innings pitched. Gonsolin has also been solid since returning from the injured list in August. He has a 3.86 ERA in four starts and has struck out 27 batters in 21 innings pitched. The Dodgers are hoping that Urías, Pepiot, and Gonsolin can continue to pitch well and help the team secure a spot in the playoffs. **Other Notes** * The Dodgers activated outfielder Kevin Pillar from the injured list on Saturday. Pillar has been out since Aug. 29 with a left shoulder injury. * The Dodgers optioned infielder Michael Busch to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday. * The Dodgers recalled infielder Yonny Hernandez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.
