Yoshinobu Yamamoto is […]

As the 2025 MLB season approaches its midpoint, the St. Louis Cardinals find themselves in a familiar but precarious position: competitive, but with clear roster questions looming over their long-term outlook. With a 26-20 record and sitting just one game behind the division-leading Chicago Cubs, the Cardinals are outperforming preseason expectations, thanks in large part […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have not defended a title since they beat the Tampa Bay Rays in 2020. This season, the team has faced big obstacles when it comes to injuries across the Dodgers roster. However, Dave Roberts has navigated through the first two months of the season well, thanks to role players stepping up. […]

Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani continues to do his thing offensively, and sooner rather than later, it appears he will be back on the mound as well. The reigning NL MVP winner has been throwing bullpens as he recovers from Tommy John, and Tuesday marked a huge milestone in his eventual return. Ohtani threw […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers put an end to a four-game losing streak on Tuesday night, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks behind a dominant outing from starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The right-hander was back to his dominant self after a pair of sub-par outings to his standards, tossing seven innings of no-run baseball. In fact, he carried a […]

After winning the World Series last fall, the Los Angeles Dodgers entered the offseason with three question marks in the outfield. After winning Game 5 with Mookie Betts, Teoscar Hernandez, and Kike Hernandez playing in the outfield, the Dodgers made it clear they wanted to move Betts to shortstop and keep 2024 revelation Tommy Edmans […]

The Arizona Diamondbacks are making a loud statement in Los Angeles, jumping out to an early seven run lead over the Dodgers before the fourth inning.

There’s the seventh inning stretch, then there’s the 30 inning one attached to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The latter is proving to be brutal for the defending World Series champs. Los Angeles returned to Chavez Ravine on Vin Scully bobblehead night Monday. The Arizona Diamondbacks swung with no mercy, though. L.A.’s National League West rival […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t looked like their dominant selves of late. The team uncharacteristically got swept by the Los Angeles Angels in a three-game series at Dodger Stadium. In fact, the Dodgers haven’t looked right since losing Teoscar Hernandez to a Grade 1 adductor strain in early May. LA is just 5-7 since Hernandez […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been dealing with a few injuries this season, and one of them has been to left-hander Blake Snell, who was recently placed on the 60-day injured list.

When Chris Taylor committed to play baseball at the University of Virginia, he probably did not know what to expect for his long-term future in the sport.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are off to a hot start as they try to defend their World Series crown, and they made another move that shows their embarrassment of riches on Sunday.

It wasn’t Clayton Kershaw’s sharpest night, but it didn’t take long for the Dodgers to erase his early deficit thanks to a familiar power surge — this time from rising centerfielder Andy Pages.

When baseball fans witnessed the Los Angeles Dodgers’ wild spending spree this offseason many became irate assuming the team would easily repeat as World Champions based on their ultra-talented roster.

Clayton Kershaw felt the energy of Chavez Ravine for the first time in 2025. He heard the reverberating gesture, too, after delivering his first Los Angeles Dodgers strikeout of the year.

Shohei Ohtani is a leading candidate for the National League MVP. Ohtani’s prowess at the plate makes every at-bat must-see TV. However, he is still working on getting back to the second half of his game. His recovery from Tommy John surgery has kept him off the mound for almost two years. After today’s bullpen, […]

In the heart of Los Angeles, where the freeway rivalry between the Dodgers and Angels splits the city’s loyalties, a new name is beginning to unite the Dodger faithful, Hyeseong Kim.
