World Series is here, but let’s talk MLB lockout first
The 2026 World Series begins on Friday, with the Milwaukee Brewers hosting the Tampa Bay Rays. But before we get back to baseball on the field, let’s take the temperature of the room regarding the looming labor fight. The collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1 at 8:59 p.m. PT, after which MLB owners will […]
Will Klein has right elbow surgery to remove bone chips
Dodgers pitcher Will Klein had surgery on Wednesday to remove bone chips and clean up a bone spur in his right elbow, the team announced. The right-hander is expected to be ready for spring training. Klein was acquired by the Dodgers from the Seattle Mariners in June 2025 and pitched his way onto the World […]
Dalton Rushing has elbow surgery, not expected to catch until 2nd half of 2027
The elbow injury that wiped out Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing’s final two months of the regular season and left him watching in October proved even costlier than previously expected. Rushing had surgery to repair the partially torn UCL in his right elbow. Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times was first to report Rushing’s surgery: […]
Charles Davalan singles, plus Brent Honeywell Jr. in Dominican Winter League
Wednesday was light in Dodgers action in the Arizona Fall League, as the Glendale Desert Dogs were shut out in a game shortened by rain to only six innings. Against the Peoria Javelinas, Glendale managed only four hits, all singles, one of them by second baseman Charles Davalan. So let’s expand our offseason minor league […]
Dodger notes: Shohei Ohtani’s arm, aging roster and more
On Wednesday, President of Baseball Operations Andrew Freidman that surgery “is not on the table’ for Shohei Ohtani. Eric Stephen covers that development here. Bill Plaschke of the L.A. Times in his opinion piece thinks that the Dodgers should stop letting Ohtani pitch. He even floats the idea that if Ohtani continues to insist on […]
Surgery ‘not on the table’ for Shohei Ohtani this offseason, Andrew Friedman says
Shohei Ohtani was a diminished version of himself over the final two months of the Dodgers season and postseason, dealing with injuries to his left knee and right biceps. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Wednesday that surgery won’t be necessary for Ohtani this offseason for either injury. “[Surgery] is not on the table. […]
Dodgers position player outlook heading into offseason
The Dodgers head into the offseason with their planned 2026 lineup all signed for 2027 as well. Then again they had those nine players all start in the same game only three times this season — September 23 vs. the Padres, NLDS Game 1 against the Braves, and NLCS Game 2 against the Brewers. Timing […]
Arizona Fall League: Chase Harlan drives in pair in blowout win
After beginning their week with a six-run defeat, the Greendale Desert Dogs got right back on the saddle, battering the Surprise Saguaros by a score of 10-3. Despite surrendering the game’s first run, the Desert Dogs quickly took control of it with an eight-run fifth. The number of Dodger prospects on the field for this […]
Dodgers notes: Alex Vesia, Teruaki Sato, Hyeseong Kim
Among the 2026 Dodgers set to hit free agency following the conclusion of the World Series, Tarik Skubal ranks among the top available options this offseason. The Dodgers will certainly be in the hunt for a reunion for the still-reigning two-time American League Cy Young award winner. One of the more under-the-radar impending free agents […]
Who are you rooting for in the World Series?
Four days after the Milwaukee Brewers finished off their sweep of the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series, the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night won their American League Championship Series by dispatching the Cleveland Guardians in Game 6 at Tropicana Field. The Brewers last played in the Fall Classic in 1982, when they […]
Arizona Fall League: Charles Davalan reaches base twice, Brooks Auger has rough 1st inning
Monday afternoon’s Arizona Fall League game at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale was decided in the first inning, with the Glendale Desert Dogs falling 7-1 to the Salt River Rafters.

Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani and what might’ve been
As the baseball world prepares itself for a low-cost World Series, Dodgers fans might still be looking backwards at what might’ve been. Sonja Chen on MLB.com focuses on how the team managed Shohei Ohtani’s injuries, and what perhaps they might’ve done differently. “I haven’t been able to really come to grip in terms of what […]
Will Smith won’t win the World Series, for the first time since 2019
Will Smith won each of the last six World Series, but that streak will end this year, because nobody named Will Smith plays for the Milwaukee Brewers nor Tampa Bay Rays. The Dodgers catcher and the since-retired left-handed relief pitcher of the same name played for teams that won championships every season from 2020-25. Those […]
What was your favorite moment from the Dodgers’ 2026 season?
The Dodgers 2026 season ended last week, a few weeks shorter than they hoped. This was a shorter season than the last two championship runs because of not only playing in the World Series, but also starting spring training early and starting the regular season early with trips to Asia in both 2024 and 2025. […]
Dodgers catcher Ben Rortvedt elects free agency
Intermittent Dodgers catcher Ben Rortvedt is a free agent again, opting for free agency on Saturday after getting sent outright to the minors and off the 40-man roster in September. Rortvedt was acquired by the Dodgers while off the 40-man roster at each of the last two trade deadlines, and filled in while both Will […]
Dodgers in Arizona Fall League: Charles Davalan homers, Sam Horn makes baseball debut
Some news and notes from the Arizona Fall League, in which Dodgers prospects play for the Glendale Desert Dogs. Charles Davalan, the outfielder who was named 2026 Midwest League MVP for his work this season with High-A Great Lakes, had been playing second base in the AFL. He has just five hits in 30 at-bats […]

Dodgers notes: Tarik Skubal, Shohei Ohtani, Miguel Rojas
The Dodgers are on the outside looking in to see how the fates of three remaining teams in the postseason play out. While the 2026 World Series gets underway, the Dodgers will now be focusing on how they will operate either before or after the impending lockout. Nine players that were on the 2026 team […]
Shohei Ohtani plans to pitch again in 2027
LOS ANGELES — There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding Shohei Ohtani for the last two-plus months of the 2026 season, and now that the offseason is here there isn’t yet much clarity. The Dodgers superstar dealt with left knee issues dating back to June, which initially shut his pitching down after his July 3 […]
The power of the 3-inning save
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers did not have a save of at least three innings in 2026, their first full season without one since 2016. They also did not win or reach the World Series this year. Coincidence? Yes, of course. Let’s not be daft. But three-inning saves are still cool as hell, as I’ve […]
Even a four-run lead wasn’t good enough against the Brewers
The quest for a three peat is over. The Commissioner’s Trophy will find a new home. A year after the Dodgers swept the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2025 NLCS, Milwaukee returned the favor with a four-game sweep over the defending two-time champions, marking their first World Series appearance since 1982. The best team in the […]

Switching roles; starter lets down the offense in Game 4
When a team as talented as the Dodgers gets swept in a four-game series, there are so many things that have to go wrong for that to happen—even in Game 4 alone, you could probably point to several mistakes, letdowns, and a bit of bad luck as to why the result went the way it […]
