Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Emmet Sheehan to Join Dodgers Rotation Following Rehab Start<\/h2>\n<h3>Curious Demotion<\/h3>\n<p>Sheehan made his season debut against the San Diego Padres during the last home stand, allowing just one earned run over four innings, while striking out six and walking none. It was a wonderful lift for a rotation needing effective starters. Needless to say a few eyebrows were raised when the right-hander was <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2025\/06\/19\/dodgers-call-up-jack-little-option-emmet-sheehan\/\" target=\"_self\">immediately optioned<\/a> for a fresh face. However, Roberts explained that they wanted to build Sheehan up to at least five innings before returning to the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Emmet Sheehan\u2019s next outing will again be in OKC, per Dave Roberts<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like after that, there will be a spot for him to come back up <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eCGCYfbnze\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/eCGCYfbnze<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jack Harris (@ByJackHarris) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ByJackHarris\/status\/1939032978862285057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 28, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Blooming Where He&#8217;s Planted<\/h3>\n<p>As if to prove his worth, the right-hander continued to impress. He hurled six perfect innings, including 13 strikeouts and 21 whiffs. Wherever the Dodgers put him, Sheehan and his stuff shine, and he is forcing Los Angeles&#8217;s hand.<\/p>\n<h3>Trying to Round Into Form<\/h3>\n<p>Another starter <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2025\/04\/28\/dodgers-tyler-glasnow-injury-noah-davis-recalled\/\" target=\"_self\">on the road back<\/a> is right-hander <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/glasnty01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-06-28_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyler Glasnow<\/a>. He pitched in his second rehab start last night after recovering from a shoulder issue. It wasn&#8217;t as successful as his first. Ideally, he was supposed to go four innings but didn&#8217;t get through three. The left-hander gave up five runs on seven hits. Roberts said his stuff &#8220;was fine, but he wasn&#8217;t efficient enough.&#8221; It doesn&#8217;t sound like the Dodgers are too concerned, but now Glasnow will have four rehab starts instead of three.<\/p>\n<h3>Everybody&#8217;s Getting Healthy<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/e\/edmanto01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-06-28_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tommy Edman<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2025\/05\/02\/dodgers-tommy-edman-day-to-day-injured-ankle\/\" target=\"_self\">who has dealing with a gimpy ankle<\/a>, is now well enough now to play center field. The Dodgers were playing Edman solely at second base. This only adds to the versatility of an already lethal lineup, and more playing time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/k\/kimhy02.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-06-28_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hyeseong Kim<\/a>, who has a batting average of over .350.<\/p>\n<p>It seems the Dodgers are finally getting healthy.
