The Dodgers’ plans ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline are described as uncertain, but the club expects near-term internal reinforcements from injured players. According to reports, closer Edwin Díaz is on track to be activated next Tuesday when the team returns home from its current road trip. The Dodgers also anticipate the return of Kiké Hernández in the near future, with both outlets indicating his return could happen sooner rather than later, though the exact timing remains less definitive than Díaz’s.
Taken together, the reports suggest the Dodgers are preparing to add bullpen and position depth without specifying any trade details. While neither source confirms additional roster moves, both frame Díaz’s activation date as a key benchmark for the team’s immediate plans. The outlets do not provide further injury specifics in the excerpts, and the Dodgers’ degree of activity in the trade market is presented as still being determined.
