Podziemski is a late addition to the Warriors’ injury report, which is an ominous sign regarding his availability for Game 2. A fixture in the starting lineup for the past month, the second-year guard logged 35 minutes in Game 1. Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield would likely see their minutes increase if Podziemski sits, with the former’s defensive prowess likely making him the priority.

The 36-year-old hurler has said that he is now pain free, so the Dodgers will start to slowly ramp him back up. He’s on the 60-day injured list and won’t be eligible to return until the end of June so the Dodgers can take a very cautious approach here. Hopefully he stays pain free as he starts throwing again.

The 27-year-old superstar played six innings defensively in right field in the ballgame. He told reporters after the ballgame that his knee felt good while running and that he’s very excited to be back on the field. Acuña misplayed a couple of balls in the outfield, which is to be expected as he works his way back into regular action out there. He’s expected to need a couple of weeks’ worth of at-bats in the minors before he’s ready to rejoin the Braves.

Murray will be good to go after being a late addition to the injury report, which isn’t that surprising. It would’ve taken a significant illness for him to miss an elimination game, though the fact that he was questionable may speak to how sick he is. That could result in a poor shooting performance for him, or it could lead to a legendary tale.

The Dodgers are going with a bullpen game on Thursday with left-hander Justin Wrobleski expected to work bulk innings out of the bullpen, so Bleday getting a breather makes sense. Seth Brown will start in his place in center field and bat third for the A’s.

The lack of an update isn’t in itself a bad thing, though it sounds like they could be waiting on a second opinion after his MRI revealed only inflammation in his pitching elbow. It sounds like we should have an update on his timeline before the weekend is through.

The 30-year-old right-hander had an opt-out clause coming up in his minor league deal, so the Astros decided to flip him someplace where he’ll get an opportunity. He’s expected to join the White Sox’ bullpen on Friday.
