A sixth-round pick in 2021 out of Boston College, Sheehan’s last season was his rookie year. He went 4-1 in 13 games with 11 starts, posting a 4.92 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 60.1 innings. He began this year with four rehab assignments, with a 3.97 ERA over 11.1 innings.

Sheehan will be opposed by Padres righty Stephen Kolek in this one. Kolek is in his first season in the starting rotation after spending his rookie year last year in the bullpen. In eight appearances, all starts, he’s 3-2 with a 3.50 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 46.1 innings.

In this game the Dodgers are looking to pick up their fifth win in a row. They’d also clinch a series win over the Padres, having won Monday 6-3 and Tuesday 8-6 to begin this four-game set. Center fielder Andy Pages led the way on Tuesday night, going 4-for-4 with two home runs and three RBIs.
