Tarik Skubal, Yoshinobu Yamamoto named to All-MLB second team
The All-MLB teams have been around since 2019, and for the first time since their inception, the Dodgers do not have a single player representing the All-MLB First team. No offensive players for the Dodgers were named to either the First or Second teams, but two pitchers managed to crack the Second Team, those being left-hander Tarik Skubal and right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, reports Sonja Chen of MLB.com. After two consecutive Cy Young award winning seasons, Skubal was limited to 26 starts due to elbow surgery, but he still managed to post a 12-7 record with a 2.72 ERA and 186 strikeouts across 158 2/3 innings between the Detroit Tigers and Dodgers. Yamamoto capped off his second fully healthy season of his big league career, once again finishing in the top-5 for National League Cy Young voting by posting a 14-9 record with a 2.53 ERA while striking out 182 hitters across 185 innings. For the first time since 2022, Shohei Ohtani was not crowned league MVP, as he placed 2nd behind Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong for the 2026 NL MVP race.

Which receivers did Rams add after Puka Nacua goes to IR?
With Puka Nacua going on IR the Los Angeles Rams added Brennan Presley and Tyler Scott. This is a bit of a surprise (maybe) as Sean McVay reported Nacua would avoid IR, but then went back on his own statement when it was revealed that Nacua would be going on IR to miss "extended time". The Rams will find out who steps-up in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Will anyone step-up? There is an expectation that rookie CJ Daniels could get some run, and that's exciting for the young man, but I'll believe it when I see it. The Rams need to earn a win on Sunday to get to 6-4 before their bye, and they likely need to get healthy to hope to beat the Green Bay Packers after their bye week. One thing at a time, starting with Arizona. LA Rams Sign Two Wide Receivers Amid Major Puka Nacua News (sports.yahoo) "Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams have provided further clarity on Puka Nacua. Their latest roster moves only add further details on a noteworthy day. "LA Rams Roster Moves," the team posted on X on November 12, listing their transactions. Signed to Active Roster from Practice Squad WR Brennan Presley "We're not going to put him on IR, just because of some semantics with the roster and things like that," McVay told reporters on November 11. "But he still is going to be out for an extende period of time. It wasn't any sort of new information."
