Instead, the defending World Series champions dropped two […]

All things considered, the Los Angeles Dodgers are in a pretty good spot heading into the 2025 MLB postseason. Sure, they continue to play down to their competition, have games where they can’t get anything on the scoreboard, and others where no amount of runs is enough to overcome their pitching woes. But with 138 […]

When the Los Angeles Dodgers took the field against the Pittsburgh Pirates for their first of three games in the Steel City, starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw was getting hammered.

The Los Angeles Dodgers witnessed another historic moment from two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, who launched his 46th home run of the season in the third inning Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Dodger Stadium. The 450-foot shot not only tied the game but also matched Ohtani’s own MLB record for the most home runs […]

The phrase “that one got out of here in a hurry” was created for home runs like the one Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani swatted on Tuesday night. Ohtani hit his 46th long ball of the season — the 100th of his Dodgers career — in the third inning of LA’s game against the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have activated Hyeseong Kim and Michael Kopech from the injured list ahead of their game Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates. For Kim, however, getting to Pittsburgh was a rough journey. As Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register tells it, a missed connection combined with flight delays caused Kim and […]

It’s been a tough year for Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman and outfielder Tommy Edman, but he is about to take a major step toward returning to the field for the season’s stretch run. Edman will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. The plan is for him to DH and bat […]

As the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, helped by a clutch home run from catcher Will Smith, the team has made a move to further improve itself.

Needing a win on Sunday to avoid an embarrassing three-game sweep at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium, the Los Angeles Dodgers relied on the heroics of catcher Will Smith to score a dramatic 5-4 win in the series finale against their visiting National League West rivals.

This latest Shohei Ohtani milestone […]

With the Los Angeles Dodgers facing the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night, it would be highlighted by the performance from starting pitcher Blake Snell.

The Los Angeles Dodgers opened their weekend series with a frustrating 3-0 shutout loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chavez Ravine, and the reaction afterward was as honest as it gets. Manager Dave Roberts didn’t offer excuses—just a nod to how effective Zac Gallen’s shutout outing truly was. In six scoreless innings, Gallen struck out […]

A redemption arc is exactly what Jason Heyward had for the Los Angeles Dodgers when he signed with the team in 2023. It seemed as though his decline was progressing in linear fashion, but he had a bounce-back year left in him. He certainly earned his roster spot for the Dodgers in 2024 when they […]

At 37 years old, Clayton Kershaw has heard every accolade a pitcher can receive, but Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman may have summed it up best this week. “He is the ultimate competitor,” Friedman said of the franchise icon, who has battled back from injuries to deliver a 9-2 record with a 3.06 […]

Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, was recently reported to federal prison after stealing $17 million of Ohtani’s money.

Mathew Bowyer, the […]

Shohei Ohtani can do a lot of things in baseball, but up until Wednesday night, one thing he had not achieved since signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers was pick up a pitching victory. He finally got one when he tamed the Cincinnati Reds in a 5-1 victory at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. Making his […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are on a three-game winning streak, finally breaking out of a slump. Dave Roberts’ team finishes off a series against the Cincinnati Reds tonight, looking to complete a sweep. However, the biggest news that comes from Wednesday night might be on the status of Max Muncy. Alex Freeland might not have […]

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki last appeared for the team on May 9, spending the last three and a half months sidelined by a shoulder injury.

However, one of the more concerning absences came from hitting coach Aaron Bates. Luckily for Los Angeles, his blood clots are behind him […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are riding high in the Reds series thanks to Clayton Kershaw. The Dodgers superstar has been untouchable in August. He posted a perfect 5-0 record with a 1.88 ERA this month. Those numbers are nothing short of unbelievable. The Dodgers needed that steady arm, and Kershaw has delivered. He has successfully […]

Clayton Kershaw, without a doubt, has been slowing down with age. But every now and then, Kershaw shows why he’s one of the greatest pitchers to ever suit up in MLB and why he’s bound for Cooperstown in first-ballot fashion once he’s eligible. On Tuesday night, Kershaw’s agelessness shone through as he continued to dominate […]

After missing almost two months of action, Kike Hernandez was activated from the injured list this past Monday, with the Los Angeles Dodgers welcoming back their usual October hero ahead of their three-game series over the Cincinnati Reds to begin the year. While Hernandez wasn’t called upon on Monday during the Dodgers’ series-opening 7-0 win, […]

At 37-years-old and 18 seasons in, Clayton Kershaw just reminded everyone why he’s a key piece of the Los Angeles Dodgers rotation. The left-hander went 5-0 with a 1.88 ERA this August, solidifying his role as a postseason asset during a tight NL West divisional race. Kershaw’s August was more than just solid—it was surgical. […]

With Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani, and Blake Snell, again, returning to the rotation, the Los Angeles Dodgers are finally settling into a sense of normalcy in the pitching department, with Kirby Yates, Tanner Scott, and Blake Treinin all working their way back to full strength in the bullpen. Could Roki Sasaki soon add […]

Things haven’t gone completely smoothly this season for the Los Angeles Dodgers as they continue their World Series title defense, but everything is starting to come together down the stretch of the season.

After being one of the hottest members of the Los Angeles Dodgers last fall and earlier this spring, Tommy Edman has had to watch his team struggle over the summer largely from the bench, with an ankle injury costing him dozens of games in 2025. And yet, as has been the case with the Dodgers […]

With Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts succeeding at playing shortstop, there has been some discussion about putting him back in the outfield.
