The Los Angeles Dodgers (91-37) reinstated right-handed pitcher Yu Darvish from the 10-day disabled list Sunday and placed right-handed pitcher Josh Fields on the 10-day DL (retroactive to Aug. 25) with a lower back strain.

Darvish is the starting pitcher in Sunday’s matinee against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers (67-63) at Dodger Stadium.

Darvish, who missed eight games due to lower back tightness, makes his 26th start of the season Sunday afternoon and fourth as a Dodger.

He last pitched on Aug. 16 against the White Sox, allowing three runs on eight hits in 6.0 innings with two strikeouts and did not factor in the decision in the Dodgers’ 5-4 victory.

Since being acquired on July 31 from the Rangers, Darvish has gone 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA (5 ER/18.0 IP) and has struck out 22 batters against just four walks in three starts.

On the season, he is 8-9 with a 3.83 ERA (66 ER/155.0 IP) and has held hitters to a .227 average while striking out 170 against 49 walks in 26 combined starts with the Rangers and the Dodgers.

Fields is 5-1 with one save and has posted a 2.68 ERA (14 ER/47.0 IP) in 47 games this season. He last pitched on Aug. 24, going 0.1 innings at Pittsburgh.

Today’s game against the Brewers wraps up the Dodgers’ quick three-game homestand with the Brewers.

The Dodgers last lost a series from June 5-7 vs. Washington at Dodger Stadium and since then have gone 19-0-3 in their subsequent 22 series, before this one.

The Dodgers are 30-10 in the final game of a series and 4-2 in their six rubber matches this season. On Monday, the club will fly to Phoenix and start a seven-game road trip against the second-place Diamondbacks (three games) and San Diego Padres (four games) on Tuesday at Chase Field.

The Dodgers have won 31 of their last 36 games at Dodger Stadium since June 7, including winning 13 of their last 15 games at home, and hold the best home record in the Majors with a .776 winning percentage.

Los Angeles currently ranks second among the NL’s all-time best home records since 1913, trailing only the 1975 Reds (64-17, .790).

The Dodgers have taken three of five from Milwaukee this year and one more victory clinches the season series against the Brewers for the third consecutive season. Los Angeles has also won six of its last nine vs. Milwaukee at home.

Los Angeles was shut out last night for the seventh time this season, which is tied with the Braves and Rockies for the fourth most in the NL, behind the Phillies (9), Cubs (8) and Giants (8).

LORDS OF LIGHT: This afternoon, the Dodgers play their 36th day game of the season and currently own a Major League best .743 winning percentage in those contests (26-9). The club is 14-5 (.737) on Sundays and a big league best 17-6 (.739) in the month of August, 1.5 games better than the Miami Marlins (16-8) this month.

SILVER FOXES AND WILD HORSES: Today concludes the first-annual “Players Weekend,” a joint effort between MLB and the MLB Players Association that featured new uniforms and nicknames on the back of the players’ jerseys.

The uniforms are inspired by youth leagues with bright colors and pull-over jerseys. In addition, each player will wear a “Thank You” patch in order to recognize someone who was important in their development.

The game-worn, “Players Weekend” jerseys will be auctioned at MLB.com/auctions with all proceeds donated to the MLB-MLBPA Youth Development Foundation, a joint effort by MLB and the MLBPA to improve amateur baseball and softball programs across the U.S. and Canada.
