Brock Stewart pitched in his fifth minor league rehab game and third for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. He threw a perfect third inning with a popout and two strikeouts.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts over the weekend said Stewart will pitch on back-to-back days at some point this coming week, and then the Dodgers will decide what to do next with the right-hander, and when to potentially activate him from the injured list.
Player of the day
Ontario catcher Anson Aroz had four hits, including a double and scored four runs in the Tower Buzzers’ blowout sin in San Jose.
Aroz was drafted in the 19th round last year out of Oregon, and is off to a hot start as a professional with five multi-hit games in his last eight contests, and through his first 10 games is hitting .412/.532/.529.
Triple-A Oklahoma City
The Comets held a one-run lead in the ninth but lost in 10 innings to the Tacoma Rainiers (Mariners).
James Tibbs III homered again, his 11th of the season, and also walked three times. Jack Suwinski also homered for Oklahoma City.
Double-A Tulsa
A 1-0 game in the seventh inning turned ugly late in the Drillers’ 8-0 loss to the Frisco RoughRidgers (Rangers).
Christian Suarez struck out four and allowed a run in his three-inning start. Tulsa on offense only had four hits, two of them singles by Zyhir Hope.
High-A Great Lakes
The Loons were on the short end of a back-and-forth affair in a loss to the Beloit Sky Carp (Marlins).
Accimias Morales, who was just promoted to High-A on Saturday, struggled in his Loons debut on Sunday with three walks in his 1 2/3 innings. The 21-year-old right-hander inherited two runners with one out in the fifth and one of them scored the go-ahead run, not in his ledger. But in the sixth now with a lead, Morales got the first two outs but allowed a single, walk, and two-run double to get hung with the loss.
Christian Zazueta struck out six in his 4 1/3 innings, but allowed five runs, two each in the first two innings and one on his way out in the fifth.
Third baseman Logan Wagner had two hits, including his team-leading sixth home run.
Class-A Ontario
The Tower Buzzers confined their scoring to four different innings in a row, and packed 18 runs in a win over the San Jose Giants. Through their first 20 games as a franchise, Ontario already has games scoring 23, 18, 16, and 16 runs.
Easton Shelton, Jaron Elkins, and Emil Morales each homered in the win. Things went so well for Ontario that their top two hitters — Joendry Vargas and Elkins — each batted seven times in a nine-inning game.
Transactions
Triple-A: After missing the first month of the season on the injured list, Nick Frasso was activated Sunday.
Double-A: Left-hander Myles Caba was promoted to Tulsa after an 0.84 ERA and 35.9-percent strikeout rate in 10 2/3 innings for Great Lakes. Wyatt Crowell was placed on the temporary inactive list after not getting out of the first inning of his Saturday start.

Getting closer
Blake Snell is scheduled to make his second rehab start on Tuesday night, again for the Class-A Tower Buzzers, but this time in Ontario against Lake Elsinore, for whom he made a rehab start in 2022 while with the Padres. Snell pitched one-plus inning and threw 32 pitches last Wednesday in San Jose in his first rehab appearance. The left-hander will likely need three more rehab starts before getting activated off the injured list and rejoining the Dodgers.
