From Kevin Baxter<\/a>: Brock Stewart<\/a> slumped in front of a mostly empty locker in the middle of the Dodgers clubhouse Monday afternoon, a stall that used to belong to pitcher Dustin May<\/a>, as clubhouse attendants rushed over with boxes of brand new size 13 cleats.<\/p>\n

A week ago Stewart was pitching for the Minnesota Twins, who wear red cleats. The Dodgers don\u2019t, so Stewart needed a makeover.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got blue gloves coming too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Getting dressed properly isn\u2019t the only thing players have to worry about when they change teams in the middle of the season. Stewart had a home and family in Minnesota to pack up and move when he learned Thursday that he had been traded from a team with a losing record to one chasing a second straight World Series title<\/a>.<\/p>\n

By late Monday evening, Stewart found himself in the middle of that pennant race when he took the mound in the ninth inning of a tie game. It didn\u2019t end well, with Stewart (2-2) surrendering a run on three hits while getting just two outs in a 3-2 loss<\/a> to the St. Louis Cardinals.<\/p>\n

It was a rude homecoming for the right-hander, who was drafted by the Dodgers in 2014 but waived five years later after pitching 36 times over parts of four seasons. After he remade himself during a six-year sojourn<\/a> in which dropped down to independent ball, Stewart was brought back to Los Angeles to stabilize an overworked, injury-plagued bullpen that has struggled.<\/p>\n

In his first appearance at Dodger Stadium in the home uniform since 2019, he added to those struggles, giving up hits to the first two batters he faced, then falling behind 2-0 to pinch-hitter Yohel Pozo, who flared a single over the infield to drive in the go-ahead run.<\/p>\n

For manager Dave Roberts<\/a>, one bad outing won\u2019t change Stewart\u2019s role.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s baseball,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

CHARGERS<\/p>\n

From Anthony De Leon<\/a>: The Los Angeles County District Attorney\u2019s office will not pursue charges against Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman<\/a>, who was arrested on suspicion of felony weapons possession Friday night, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff Dept. records.<\/p>\n

Perryman was arrested after deputies allegedly discovered five firearms \u2014 including two assault-style weapons \u2014 in his vehicle during a traffic stop Friday night, the agency said in a statement. He was released from jail Monday afternoon and his arrest will be listed as a detention on his record.<\/p>\n

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh<\/a> publicly addressed the situation Monday, saying he visited with the veteran linebacker in jail over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s working through the legalities along with his representation,\u201d said Harbaugh before Perryman\u2019s release from jail. \u201cHad a chance to see him yesterday, whenever I visited, and he was in good spirits. And love Denzel. He\u2019s always done right. He\u2019s never been in trouble. They\u2019ve got a beautiful family.\u201d<\/p>\n

LA OLYMPICS<\/p>\n

From Michael Wilner<\/a>: President Trump will order the establishment of a White House task force on Tuesday focused on security for the Olympics Games<\/a> in Los Angeles in 2028.<\/p>\n

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said the president plans on creating the task force by executive order on Tuesday, telling The Times that Trump \u201cconsiders it a great honor to oversee this global sporting spectacle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring his first term, President Trump was instrumental in securing America\u2019s bid to host the 2028 Summer Olympics<\/a> in Los Angeles,\u201d Leavitt said. \u201cSports is one of President Trump\u2019s greatest passions, and his athletic expertise, combined with his unmatched hospitality experience will make these Olympic events the most exciting and memorable in history.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is unclear whether the executive order will provide relief as city leaders and the Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the privately funded nonprofit organization known as LA28 that is planning the Games, negotiate key issues including security costs.<\/p>\n
