Hill, who pitched for the Dodgers from 2016-19, would become the oldest active pitcher in MLB when he appears in a game for the Royals. He turned 45 in March. More to come on this

Its Monday, July 21 and the Twins (48-51) are in Los Angeles to take on the scuffling Dodgers (58-42). David Festa is slated to take the mound for Minnesota against Shohei Ohtani for Los Angeles. The Dodgers continue their homestand after a weekend that saw them lose three straight to the Brewers.

It started with a bang. Ended with a shrug. And somewhere in between, Shohei Ohtani did something only Shohei Ohtani can do. On a warm Monday night under the lights at Dodger Stadium, Ohtani stepped into the batter’s box in the bottom of the first inning and launched a two-run homer to straightaway center.

The Dodgers will look to end their 3-game skid when they take on the Minnesota Twins at home in Game 1 of the three-game series.

The Los Angeles Dodgers recalled pitcher Edgardo Henriquez and designated reliever Lou Trivino for assignment on Monday.

The Royals plan called up 45-year-old left-handed pitcher Rich Hill from the minors for a start against the Cubs on Tuesday.

Freddie Freeman leaves the game after taking a pitch off his wrist as the Milwaukee Brewers defeat the Dodgers 6-5 to sweep the season series between the teams.

Shohei Ohtani pitches three innings and hits a two-run home run and Will Smith hits a pair of solo homers in the Dodgers' 5-2 win over the Minnesota Twins.
