The Los Angeles Dodgers made several roster adjustments ahead of their final game against the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. They recalled pitchers Emmet Sheehan and Kyle Hurt while placing Tarik Skubal on the bereavement list and sending Seth Halvorsen to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Manager Dave Roberts explained that these moves were aimed at optimizing player performance, especially with right fielder Kyle Tucker resting due to a knee injury sustained from a foul ball. The article also notes that Shohei Ohtani could return soon from the injured list during the upcoming series against the San Diego Padres, as he continues to manage biceps inflammation and knee soreness.

Story summary
On Sunday, Tarik Skubal, who was acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers via trade in August and is a contender for their Game 1 starter in the playoffs, went on the bereavement list after suffering his worst start against the San Francisco Giants. The move will keep him away from the team for "a couple days." In response to Skubal's absence, the Dodgers called up Emmet Sheehan and Kyle Hurt from Triple-A Oklahoma City while also sending Seth Halvorsen back down. Sheehan was scheduled to handle the bulk of the series finale against the Giants as part of a bullpen game. Despite facing strong competition in the playoffs, Sheehan pitched well, not allowing any runs over 5⅓ innings and striking out nine batters with one hit conceded and only one walk, contributing to the Dodgers' 3-1 win and securing their three-game sweep against the Giants.
