After being announced as the three hitter in the Los Angeles Dodgers series finale against the Colorado Rockies, Will Smith was a late scratch, with Dave Roberts instead turning to Ben Rortvedt under the mask. Revealing the move shortly before the opening pitch, the Dodgers broadcast noted that the bone bruise on the top of […]

For seemingly the first time in months, the Los Angeles Dodgers have more outfielders than they have playing time.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ starting rotation has been the main story all season for the team. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had to watch as Clayton Kershaw came back from injury. Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, and Blake Snell spent significant time on the injured list as well. However, Roki Sasaki’s return is on the horizon. The […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers reactivated Tommy Edman after a five-week absence and immediately inserted him into the heart of their defense. He returned from a right ankle sprain to start in center field for Wednesday’s series finale vs. the Colorado Rockies. The comeback of the 2024 NLCS MVP gives the Dodgers lineup a timely boost […]

Tyler Glasnow picked up his first win since March when the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 3-1 on Monday. Despite giving up a run in the second inning after a leadoff walk came around to score, Glasnow had a no-hitter going after seven innings. But with his pitch count reaching triple digits, manager […]

Before signing Shohei Ohtani and becoming a full-on juggernaut, the Los Angeles Dodgers had established a knack for finding players who could make a surprising impact down the stretch. The front office might have accomplished this again with their decision to sign left-hander Andrew Heaney to a Minor League deal earlier this month. Heaney performed […]

After flailing versus the Arizona Diamondbacks, Pittsburgh Pirates and Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers fans were cautiously optimistic that a home series versus MLB’s worst team would help the defending World Series champions get back on their feet.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow got a big monkey off his back on Monday, when he got his first victory since March. Glasnow led the Dodgers to a 3-1 win over the lowly Colorado Rockies. Glasnow was thrilled to pick up the win. He finished the contest with 11 strikeouts for Los Angeles. […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t been playing like a playoff-caliber team as of late, especially against teams with a record below .500. But at the very least, they did take a 3-1 win at home on Monday against the hapless Colorado Rockies, the team with the worst record in MLB. This was their second win […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have not been playing very good baseball lately to say the least. They’ve lost all three of their past series (dating back to August 29) — a stretch that includes a sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates. It’s only due to a similar slump from the San Diego Padres […]

There’s a saying that has been increasing common in Los Angeles: as goes Max Muncy, so goes the Dodgers. In games where Muncy saw action, the Dodgers have a 54-35 record, taking care of business against some of the best teams MLB has to offer. But when Muncy isn’t available for one reason or another? […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers looked lifeless against the Orioles, but Shohei Ohtani stepped up and changed everything. The Dodgers superstar reminded everyone why he’s in a class of his own. He crushed a leadoff homer that reignited the team’s heartbeat and brought energy back into the dugout. Manager Dave Roberts saw it right away, the […]

For a split second on Saturday night at Camden Yards, it looked like Andy Pages might have had a shot at preserving history. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was two outs away from etching his name into the record books, and Jackson Holliday lofted a cutter high into the Baltimore night. As the ball drifted toward the right-center […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers finally ended their five-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday at Camden Yards, thanks to Shohei Ohtani’s record-tying performance. By homering in his first two at-bats, Ohtani matched Mookie Betts’ Dodgers record of 12 leadoff blasts in a single season, a standard Betts set in […]

Chicago Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker has not had the high-powered contract year that he hoped for, and one MLB insider recently suggested that the four-time All-Star could choose to join the Los Angeles Dodgers. According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, rival executives think that the Dodgers might be willing to offer the 28-year-old a […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers were cruising in Saturday’s matchup against the Baltimore Orioles. After four straight losses, LA was riding Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s arm to a victory. The Dodgers ace was nearly flawless through 8.2 innings. Then everything fell apart. Yamamoto became the first pitcher in over 100 years to lose a no-hitter with two outs […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a devastating defeat in Saturday’s wild 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Yoshinobu Yamamoto became the first pitcher since 1923 to lose a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth inning. Then the Dodgers’ bullpen collapsed for the second straight game. Neither Blake Treinen or Tanner Scott could record the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers just suffered one of the most brutal losses you’ll ever witness. It was painful enough for Dodgers fans to see Yoshinobu Yamamoto lose his no-hitter bid with two outs in the ninth inning. But the pain became excruciating when Los Angeles blew a three-run lead, losing to the Baltimore Orioles 4-3. […]

When Yoshinobu Yamamoto faced off against Jackson Holliday for the fourth time in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ second game in as many days against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camden Yards, he was three strikes away from history.

After Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts offered an encouraging update on Tyler Glasnow, he addressed the starting pitcher’s progress after an injury scare due to his lower back. With the delay, as Roberts had hoped, expected to be just a few days, Shohei Ohtani started against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Roberts addressed the […]

When Dalton Rushing fouled a ball hard off his shin in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2-1 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, it left the team in a brutal position. One game removed from Will Smith suffering an injury of his own after taking a foul ball to the back of his hand, Rushing had to […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have to be kicking themselves for this terrible stretch of play. That is certainly what reliever Tanner Scott is doing after he blew a save opportunity against the Baltimore Orioles when he allowed a walk-off home run to rookie Samuel Basallo to send the Dodgers reeling towards their fourth straight defeat. […]

Another foul ball claimed another Los Angeles Dodgers catcher as Dalton Rushing left with an injury in the series opener against the Baltimore Orioles.

After being pulled from his pitching spot for the Los Angeles Dodgers in their series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the thrice-MVP-winning unicorn was thrust into action against the Baltimore Orioles, replacing Tyler Glasnow, who was supposed to pitch but experienced back tightness on the flight from one AFC North stalwart to the other. Now, […]

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith offered some hope that he could put an awful August behind him after going 3-for-5 with one RBI in Tuesday’s game versus the Pittsburgh Pirates. Unfortunately, however, the three-time All-Star did not get the chance to build on his big outing. He took a foul ball off the hand […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have scratched right-hander Tyler Glasnow from his scheduled start on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles, with Shohei Ohtani stepping in as the unexpected replacement. Manager Dave Roberts confirmed that Glasnow reported back tightness during pregame warmups, leading the team to delay his next start by “a few days” with the hope […]

Following a series sweep at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates and an overall rough week in Chavez Ravine,  the Los Angeles Dodgers (78-62) could at least take satisfaction in knowing that their starting pitching rotation is healthy-ish. That may not be the case, though, based on the latest update for Friday’s game against the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have struggled with injuries all season. The pitching staff has been particularly banged up but position players have missed time as well.

The Los Angeles Dodgers entered September with one of the easier schedules in the Majors, but their recent performance against weaker opponents has raised concerns.

The Los Angeles Dodgers kick off a weekend series against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. However, Dave Roberts’ infield might be even thinner than it was before.
