LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Wednesday finalized their opening day roster, setting the 13 pitchers, 12 position players and one unicorn for the start of the season. It’s the first time on an opening day roster for Will Klein, and Edgardo Henriquez, and the second time for Justin Wrobleski, who was active for the […]
The Dodgers on Tuesday signed relief pitcher Jake Cousins to a major league contract. He was non-tendered by the New York Yankees in November. Cousins did not pitch in the majors in 2025, and was limited to only two games in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before undergoing Tommy John surgery in June. Given that timing, it’s unlikely […]
LOS ANGELES — In finalizing their 2026 opening day roster on Thursday, seven Dodgers were placed on the injured list, bringing the total to eight such players sidelined to begin the season. Pitchers Blake Snell, Gavin Stone, Brusdar Graterol, Brock Stewart, Landon Knack, and Jake Cousins were all placed on the 15-day injured list. Infielder/outfielder […]
While the Dodgers are striving to be the last team standing for the third season in a row, they aren’t alone in their quest to be the best for a long stretch of time. Shohei Ohtani won National League MVP in each of his first two years with the Dodgers, the only player in franchise […]
The National League West sent two teams to the postseason in each of the previous six years. The San Diego Padres accounted for four of those, with the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks making it once each since 2020. This year, the Dodgers are in excellent shape to make the postseason for a 14th […]
Over a career spanning 12 seasons, Miguel Rojas has gone from an overlooked bench player in 2014 to hitting one of, if not, the most important home runs in Dodgers history. Rojas’ legacy as a Dodger icon is now cemented, his ninth inning home run against Jeff Hoffman in Game 7 will be remembered for […]
The Dodgers failed to score a run in the final game of the Freeway Series against the Angels on Tuesday night, but Ohtani’s 11-strikeout performance provided reassurance that he is ready for regular season work out of the Dodgers rotation. On the eve of MLB opening day, the Dodgers started the first frame strong with […]

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers opening day roster has been finalized, if not yet officially announced, since Sunday when Alex Freeland beat out Hyeseong Kim for a platoon role at second base. Antoine Kelly and Chris Campos were the last two non-roster pitchers remaining in camp, and made the trip to Southern California for the […]
And just like that, Spring Training is over. Just one game stands between the Dodgers and the start of the 2026 season. In the Freeway series so far, the Dodgers have scored 20 runs, and the high-powered offense looks ready to go. On the pitching side, Shohei Ohtani also makes his last start before the […]
LOS ANGELES — Spring training was a disaster for Roki Sasaki, but the Dodgers are showing incredible faith in the phenom to find some semblance of command once the games count for real. In three of his four Cactus League starts, Sasaki was removed in the middle of an inning that got away from him, […]
Zach Root was the Dodgers’ first draft pick last year, with the left-handed pitcher from Arkansas going 40th overall, right before his college teammate Charles Davalan was selected by the Dodgers at No. 41. Root did not pitch in the minors last season, and did not appear in a major league spring game, so his […]
1962 White Sox third baseman Andy Carey, traded to Philadelphia on December 15, is instead dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers after refusing to report to the Phillies. (The White Sox ended up sending pitcher Cal McLish to Philadelphia for minor league second baseman Lou Vassie to offset the Phillies not getting Carey.) Carey, just […]
The Dodgers were down early against the Angels on Monday, having to fight their way back from the first inning. A pair of home runs cut a six-run deficit in half, and the Dodgers tied the game late in the eighth inning, but the contest ultimately ended in a 7-7 tie . Roki Sasaki was […]

LOS ANGELES — Freddie Freeman is batting fifth for the Dodgers on Monday night in the Freeway Series against the Angels, with left-hander Reid Detmers starting on the mound.

The Dodgers close out their exhibition schedule with one more Freeway Series game against the Angels at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Shohei Ohtani starts the final game of spring training, his second game on the mound this spring. He struck out four in 4 1/3 scoreless innings last Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants […]
Among the Dodgers non-roster players invited to big league camp in spring training is a mix of veterans on minor league deals plus top prospects Josue De Paula, Zyhir Hope, Jackson Ferris, and others. Last season, nine of the 27 non-roster invitees in big league camp eventually played for the Dodgers during the regular season, […]
The active Dodgers for the Freeway Series included just three non-roster invitees, not counting Santiago Espinal who already made the team. Pitchers Chris Campos and Antoine Kelly had strong camps and are still around, as is Eliézer Alfonzo, who started eight games in Arizona while Will Smith was at the World Baseball Classic. None of […]
In the third inning on Sunday night in Anaheim, the Dodgers plated 10 runs against the Angels thanks to seven walks (five in a row at one point) and four hits (Teoscar Hernández had the first two hits in the frame, including a home run). The last time the Dodgers scored double-digit runs in an […]
There is no clock in baseball, and any half-inning could, in theory, last forever—the Dodgers decided to test the boundaries of that by scoring a ridiculous 10 runs in the third inning on their way to a blowout win. If you ask me, it was a bit overkill given how dominant Tyler Glasnow was, but […]
Tyler Glasnow makes his final start before the regular season as the Dodgers visit the Angels.
After one game in Anaheim, the Freeway Series shifts to Dodger Stadium with the Dodgers hosting the Angels for the first of two games in Los Angeles. Roki Sasaki makes his final exhibition start, trying to land the plane after a very turbulent spring training. Sasaki starting this middle game of the Freeway Series lines […]
