Diamondbacks 1B Christian Walker entered Tuesday with a .318 average against Kershaw with four home runs in 22 at-bats, but he struck out twice and grounded out against the All-Star lefty.The Dodgers activated RHP Tommy Kahnle from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday and designated RHP Heath Hembree for assignment.
Kahnle, 33, missed three months with forearm inflammation. He has pitched just four games for the Dodgers this season but has postseason experience with the New York Yankees in 2017 and '19. "To get a guy who's pitched in high leverage, pitched in big games, to have him back is huge," Roberts said."The timing is good. He hasn't pitched a whole lot this season, so having a few weeks to get him re-acclimated is a good thing."
Roberts said 2B Gavin Lux , sidelined since Sept. 1, will have a simulated game Wednesday. Roberts said he's close to returning.
