Mookie Betts has been so good for so long that it can be disturbing to see him struggle the way he has for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025. Heading into their Tuesday night contest against the St. Louis Cardinals, Betts was slashing .231/.302/.355 on the season — career-worsts in every category if they hold. […]

There has been much talk about if the Los Angeles Dodgers did enough at the MLB trade deadline to combat the flurry of moves the San Diego Padres made, as the National League West race intensifies. They seemingly have enough talent, though. The defending World Series champions are counting on their big offseason acquisitions to […]

When Max Muncy went down with a scary leg injury at the beginning of July, it felt to many fans like he took the entire Los Angeles Dodgers offense with him. An underrated hitter who always gives opposing pitchers tough at-bats, Muncy did a little bit of everything for the Dodgers in the middle of […]

It has been exactly one month since Kiké Hernandez played his most recent game for the Los Angeles Dodgers, as he’s been missing ever since he sustained an elbow injury in the aftermath of a 6-4 loss to the Houston Astros. Hernandez sustained inflammation on his left elbow, although it seems as though this knock […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the middle of another dominant season. Dave Roberts’ team is well on their way to back-to-back championships, the first since the New York Yankees pulled it off in the late 1990s. Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman lead the way at the plate, but their supporting cast has been a […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff has been a major story throughout the season. After months of injuries, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has a full rotation. With Shohei Ohtani working his pitch count up and Yoshinobu Yamamoto continuing to lead the way, Los Angeles is fearsome on the mound. If Roki Sasaki comes back at […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are always aggressive when it comes to adding talent to their big-league roster. They were relatively modest at the 2025 trade deadline, though. Just last year, the team added Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernandez, Tyler Glasnow, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, all of whom helped Los Angeles win the World Series. After winning the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have not been playing crisp baseball lately. Following a 3-2 home loss against the St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles starter Tyler Glasnow was candid about the club’s struggles, and his ultimate goal. “At the end of the day, I just want to win… we’re better now, we’re in a little rut.” […]

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts thinks highly of rookie infielder Alex Freeland. So much so that Roberts is looking to expand Freeland’s horizon beyond the confines of being a shortstop. On Tuesday, Roberts unveiled his intentions to transition Freeland into a potential second baseman, per Sarah Wexler of MLB.com. This comes after the return […]

For much of the 2025 season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been as dominant as ever, boasting depth up and down the roster on both sides of the ball. But a team can only be as good as their worst side of the ball, and at the moment, the Dodgers cannot hit a lick. On […]

2025 hasn’t exactly been the easiest season for Tyler Glasnow. He missed over two months of baseball after suffering a shoulder injury, and since returning to the mound in July for the Los Angeles Dodgers, he hasn’t exactly been at his best either. But on Monday, Glasnow managed to turn things around after a rough […]

The St. Louis Cardinals dealt a crushing blow to the Los Angeles Dodgers comeback hopes on Monday night, thanks to one of the most jaw-dropping defensive plays of the season. With the game on the line in the ninth inning, Lars Nootbaar laid out for a full-extension diving catch that stopped the tying run from […]

How can the Los Angeles Dodgers get Mookie Betts out of his slump? Could they move him out of the first or second spot in the order, deploying instead some combination of Shohei Ohtani, Will Smith, and Freddie Freeman at the top of the order? Nope, Dave Roberts has already shot that idea down. How […]

There’s no two ways about it: Mookie Betts is in the middle of the worst season of his Los Angeles Dodgers career. A former MVP who was a pivotal part of two World Series championships in LA, Betts still doesn’t look comfortable playing shortstop, has lost his power at the plate, and isn’t getting on […]

It’s no secret that the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers have had injured pitchers. This season has been a test of their patience to repeat as champions with a hobbled rotation and bullpen.  On Monday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts provided a glimpse into what comes next for three injured relievers, per Dodgers Tailgate. Those relief […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off new roster changes ahead of their next series. And one week following the MLB Trade Deadline.

The Los Angeles Dodgers got a much-needed boost Monday night as veteran slugger Max Muncy returned to the lineup after a month-long stint on the injured list. His comeback comes at a critical time, with versatile infielder/outfielder Tommy Edman expected to be sidelined once again due to a recurring ankle injury. “He’s back!” the Dodgers […]

While the Los Angeles Dodgers are having a stellar season, Mookie Betts has had to deal with struggles. From losing over 20 pounds due to illness to battling injuries, it has been a rough go for the ubiquitous Betts.  Recently, Betts was absent for the start of the series against the Boston Red Sox due […]

The San Diego Padres were once again buyers at the trade deadline, bolstering the roster for a playoff run in 2025. The team added a big arm to the bullpen, landing Mason Miller in a deal with the Athletics. And the All-Star reliever is already up to speed on the Padres’ intense rivalry with the […]

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts changed up his lineup again Sunday as Mookie Betts continues to struggle. Roberts moved Betts to leadoff on July 20 in an attempt to spark him, but it took just 12 games for the manager to make another change. Betts moved down to second in the order for Sunday’s […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers made some moves at the recent MLB trade deadline but perhaps not as many as fans had hoped considering the team’s depth of injuries so far this year. Arguably Los Angeles’ most notable trade was sending pitcher Dustin May to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for a package of talent. […]

It wasn’t as busy of a trade deadline for the Los Angeles Dodgers as some had hoped. The team added Brock Stewart from the Minnesota Twins to their bullpen in addition to some other moves, but the team didn’t take any drastic swings to improve their roster for the home stretch of this MLB season. […]

The Boston Red Sox acquired right-handed pitcher Dustin May from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a trade before the deadline on Thursday.

Now heading into Saturday’s game, the team announced on X (formerly Twitter) that Snell would be […]

Despite working with a “diminished” arsenal in his 18th MLB season, Clayton Kershaw continues to give the Los Angeles Dodgers everything he’s got. And in the series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, Kershaw had more than enough. The veteran lefty stymied the Rays, allowing five hits and no walks in six scoreless […]

With one single phone call, veteran outfielder Alex Call went from putting up solid averages for a Washington Nationals team going nowhere fast to contending for a World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. A big change? You bet, but for Call, who spoke to reporters before his first game with the team, it’s a […]

After years of walking away as big winners at the Major League Baseball trade deadline, Brandon Gomes was quiet.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are taking on the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday in the first contest of a three-game series.

After a very active but somewhat controversial trade deadline period, shipping away Dustin May, James Outman, Hunter Feduccia, Eriq Swan, and Sean Paul Liñan for Alex Call, Brock Stewart, Adam Serinowski, Paul Gervase, and Ben Rortvedt, the Los Angeles Dodgers have officially begun to re-jigger their roster to make room for some new faces. With […]

The consensus is that he […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers dealt starting pitcher Dustin May to the Boston Red Sox ahead of the trade deadline Thursday.

The Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off a stunner on MLB Trade Deadline day. They joined in on altering their own roster — by dealing away Dustin May.

The Boston Red Sox made a last-minute push before the MLB trade deadline, acquiring right-handed pitcher Dustin May from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

When pitcher Shohei Ohtani exited the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Wednesday night game against the Cincinnati Reds after throwing six straight balls, it stopped the world for fans of the Blue and White.
