Dodgers notes: Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto

The Dodgers’ starting rotation has been one of the best in all of baseball this year in spite of the numerous injuries they’ve dealt with. Young right-handers Gavin Stone and River Ryan have yet to make their season debuts at the big-league level, while guys like Landon Knack are just now making their season debuts […]

Dodgers drop second straight clunker to Diamondbacks

The All-Star break all of a sudden looks more and more like something the Dodgers need, as they suffered a second blowout loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in as many nights, 9-2 on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Simply losing consecutive games has been rare for the Dodgers, as this marked just their second two-game […]

Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks game chat

After seeing the error of their ways on Friday night — three errors in the series-opening loss to the Diamondbacks, six errors over the last three games — the Dodgers try to get back on track on Saturday night, with All-Star Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound. Saturday game info

Dodgers on Deck: Sunday, July 12 vs. Diamondbacks

The final game before the All-Star break, the Dodgers taking on the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday in Los Angeles, was going to feature a pitcher looking to turn things around after a rough stretch. Emmet Sheehan certainly fits this description, though it really applies to Zac Gallen, who ranks dead last among 61 qualified pitchers […]

Dodgers draft pitcher Russell Sandefer in 4th round, 132nd overall

With their second and final pick on the first day of the 2026 MLB Draft, the Dodgers selected Florida Gators pitcher Russell Sandefer in the fourth round, with the 132nd overall pick in the draft. The 6’1 junior right-hander had a 4.42 ERA in 19 games for Florida this season, including 12 starts, with 60 […]

Dodgers draft Bo Lowrance with 1st pick, 40th overall

The Dodgers began their 2026 MLB Draft on Saturday by selecting Bo Lowrance, a high school third baseman and shortstop from South Carolina with their first-round pick, and 40th overall in the draft. By virtue of winning the World Series last year, the Dodgers owned the 30th pick in the first round this year. But […]

Multitasking on draft day

By the time the Dodgers take the field on Saturday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the first day of the 2026 MLB Draft will have already been completed. Saturday features the first four rounds of the 20-round draft, with the Dodgers making their first two selections. Here’s how the Dodgers have done on the field […]

Justin Wrobleski added to National League All-Star team

Dodgers left-hander Justin Wrobleski turns 26 years on on Tuesday, and he’ll have even more reason to celebrate since he’s headed to Philadelphia as part of the National League All-Star team. Wrobleski was added to the team on Saturday as a replacement for Reds pitcher Chase Burns, who won’t be available to pitch on Tuesday. […]

Dodgers Day 1 MLB Draft chat

The 2026 MLB Draft is upon is. Dodgers have two selections on Saturday, with their first-round pick (No. 40 overall) probably up at around 1:30 p.m. PT, and their fourth-rounder (No. 132) a little bit after 4 p.m. Use this thread for discussion for all draft things through the first four rounds. MLB Draft Day […]

Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Kiké Hernández, Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Shohei Ohtani homered for the third time in four games on Friday, but he didn’t make his scheduled pitching start against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers star will have his left knee drained on Sunday and will miss the All-Star Game, but the plan is to use the week to rest and be able to […]

Dodgers MLB Draft Day 1 picks, info, TV & streaming, and more

The 2026 MLB Draft starts on Saturday, with the first 135 picks and four rounds of the 20-round, two-day affair. The Dodgers have two picks on Saturday, their selections thinned by free agent spending in the winter. The Dodgers forfeited their second-round pick because they signed closer Edwin Díaz, and gave up their third-rounder when […]

Bullpen game marred by sloppy defense

The D-backs (47-47) pulled away late, securing a 9-3 victory over the Dodgers (61-34) Friday night at Dodger Stadium. After Arizona’s early advantage was erased by back-to-back home runs from Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages in the first, Tim Tawa’s fourth-inning home run put the D-backs ahead for good. Sloppy play and three costly errors […]

Dodgers vs. D-backs game chat

The Dodgers (61-33) take on the D-backs (46-47) at Dodger Stadium Friday night for a NL West clash. Shohei Ohtani was scratched from his start due to continued left knee irritation. Kyle Hurt will open a bullpen game for the Dodgers in the series opener. Eduardo Rodriguez (7-3, 2.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) goes for the […]

Dodgers on Deck: Saturday, July 11 vs. Diamondbacks

Dodgers star right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto made his second straight All-Star team this year, and on Saturday he’ll make his final start before the break, on the mound in the middle game against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium. Yamamoto has allowed nine runs in his last eight starts, and on the season sports a 2.49 […]

Dodgers start last series of the first half

The Dodgers are playing their last series of the first half of the 2026 season as the only team currently having 60 wins or more, and a 14.5 game lead over their opponents, the Arizona Diamondbacks. Shohei Ohtani will make his last start before the All-Star break, and as such will not pitch in the […]

Dodgers 2026 MLB Draft preview

The 2026 MLB Draft has a different feel to it for many reasons, including the Dodgers having their smallest bonus pool ever and the timing of the festivities themselves. Rather than starting on Sunday or Monday as has been the norm ever since Major League Baseball moved the draft to align with the All-Star break, […]

Dodgers minors: Emil Morales puts on a show in High-A

Thursday was a day of consistent performance, with each offense scoring at least six runs across the four highest levels of the Dodgers minor league system. Player of the day Who needs a cycle if you can swap that triple for another home run? Emil Morales had, without a shred of a doubt, the best […]

Dodgers notes: White House visit, Roki Sasaki, Edgardo Henriquez

There is a precedent among North American professional sports for the reigning champions to visit the White House. It is believed to have taken precedence when the Washington Senators visited President Calvin Coolidge in 1925, and it has become commonplace among the four major sports. The Dodgers are certainly no stranger to visiting the White […]

Things to overreact to after 94 games in the 2026 season

We have arrived at the final off day before the All-Star Break. Just in the past week, the Dodgers have completed a four-game set with the San Diego Padres, whose season looks as cooked as a well-done steak made for a timid geriatric, and a sloppy three-game set against the Colorado Rockies. It’s worth repeating […]

Dodgers minors: Home runs and Hope go together

Could you imagine scoring 22 runs and coming within one hit of losing a game? That’s what happened to the Ontario Tower Buzzers, but all is well that ends well in a day of no defeats in the Dodgers minor league system. Player of the day While the hitting candidates were plentiful as the Tower […]

Dodgers notes – Justin Wrobleski deserves an All-Star selection

On a team with, when healthy, an entire rotation of All-Star worthy pitchers, one name might not have come to mind at the beginning of the season – Justin Wrobleski. Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto were both selected this season. Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell have been selected in years previously. Wrobleski, while making an […]

Mookie Betts caps late Dodgers rally to take another series from Rockies

Every game of this series between the Dodgers and Colorado Rockies was decided in the late innings. Mookie Betts delivered an RBI single in the eighth inning to give the Dodgers their second final-at-bat win of the series, 4-3 on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium. The winning rally came against Antonio Senzatela, the longtime Rockies […]
