The Los Angeles Dodgers are currently in a rut, with the team losing seven straight games before finally winning on Saturday night in extra innings. Los Angeles still holds an 8.5-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West division, but that gap is slowly closing in. Dodgers insider Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic believes that the jolt could come from some fresh energy, potentially even the "unlikely" scenario involving top prospect Josue De Paula. De Paula is currently playing in Double-A, but there has been the expectation that the Dodgers could move him to Triple-A soon. If this were to happen, Los Angeles could eventually bring De Paula up to the big leagues in September.
