Dominating them does not exactly portend future postseason success.Still, what Landon Knack did at loanDepot Park, in the Dodgers’ 8-4 win over their middling hosts, was impressive.Especially for a rookie pitcher auditioning for the Dodgers' potential postseason rotation.

Stone, 25, has not appeared in a game since August 31. In 25 starts prior to his deactivation, he amassed a 3.53 ERA (111 ERA+) and a 3.14 strikeout-to-walk ratio. His contributions have been worth an estimated 1.8 Wins Above Replacement, according to Baseball Reference's calculations.

Although it had been expected Stone wouldn't pitch again this season, the news throws the Dodgers' postseason rotation into further flux.
