The Dodgers optioned Landon Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City for the fourth time this season ahead of Game 3 of the Dodgers' four-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.
Tuesday, Knack notched his first career save, firing four innings of one-run baseball with two strikeouts. That helped preserve the Dodgers' bullpen in advance of Walker Buehler's return from the injured list. The 30-year-old right-hander starts for the first time since June 18.

Prediction
Milwaukee's Frankie Montas has struggled lately, giving up 10 earned runs in his last 13.1 innings. With the Dodgers' offense firing on all cylinders, including a five-run inning on Tuesday, expect L.A. to take advantage early. Buehler will be the key variable, and it'll be interesting to see how he performs after his time off.
