The Dodgers are set to send right-hander Emmet Sheehan (4-2, 4.17 ERA) to the mound Monday to begin a six-game homestand that also includes a visit from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Sheehan has two appearances (one start) against the Reds, going 0-1 without allowing an earned run over 8 2/3 innings. The defeat came in a 5-2 loss in Cincinnati on July 30.
Los Angeles is close to getting back a pair of utility players in Hyeseong Kim (shoulder) and Enrique Hernandez (elbow).
The Reds will counter Monday with right-hander Hunter Greene, who will be making another Los Angeles homecoming. Greene (5-3, 2.63) has a career record of 1-2 with a 4.37 ERA in four starts against the Dodgers.
Greene's most recent start also was in the area Tuesday when he matched a season high with 12 strikeouts and gave up three runs on six hits over 6 1/3 innings against the Los Angeles Angels. He did not get a decision in the 6-4 win in Anaheim.
The Reds have come away with victories in both of Greene's starts since a lengthy rehab from a groin injury that forced him to miss two months.
The Reds won two of three games against the Dodgers when the teams played at Cincinnati in late July. The Reds' Gavin Lux, who helped the Dodgers to last year's World Series title, will receive his championship ring this week.
The Reds are 1 1/2 games behind the Mets for the final wild card in the NL.
