Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Teoscar Hernández, Shohei Ohtani

The Dodgers’ winning ways in September were briefly interrupted for two games against the Miami Marlins, but they have picked back up against the Cincinnati Reds, taking the first two games of a four-game set.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto adds another gem to his collection to beat Reds

Yoshinobu Yamamoto continued his excellent season and beat the Cincinnati Reds for the second time in a week, this time with seven scoreless innings in the Dodgers’ 4-0 win at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.

Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, September 16 at Reds

The Dodgers are in the postseason for a 14th consecutive year, and they can potentially clinch the National League West on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the rock of the Dodgers rotation

Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound on Tuesday night against the Reds in what figures to be his penultimate start of the regular season. It’s been another fantastic year, once again the anchor of the Dodgers rotation, the only member to stay healthy and make every start this season. Yamamoto enters Tuesday with 172 innings, only […]

Cole Irvin wins Pacific Coast League pitcher of week

Veteran left-hander Cole Irvin has been a stabilizing force in the Triple-A Oklahoma City Comets rotation this year, and on Monday he was named pitcher of the week in the Pacific Coast League.

Dodger notes: Edwin Diaz and the state of the pitching staff

The Los Angeles Dodgers made Edwin Diaz the highest paid closer over the offseason. Now, he might not even make the postseason roster. Diaz had a rehab outing Sunday in which he faced eight batters, retiring only two while walking three and hitting a batter. He threw 30 pitches to get those two outs, with […]

Dead-red hitters can’t handle Tarik Skubal’s fastball

Hits were at a premium with both sides combining for seven, and the Dodgers made the most of theirs, out-homering the Reds two-to-one and relying on Tarik Skubal’s best performance as a Dodger to secure a 4-1 win. While Reds starter Nick Lodolo was responsible for all four runs in his seven innings, it doesn’t […]

Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, September 15 at Reds

The Dodgers and Reds continue their series on Tuesday in Cincinnati, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound.

He’s at 172 innings, needing only two innings to surpass his MLB regular season high of 173 […]

Dodgers option Emmet Sheehan, recall Paul Gervase

The fresh arm express continues to run in September, with Emmet Sheehan optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Monday night’s series opener against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park, one day after he pitched six scoreless innings on Sunday in Miami. Paul Gervase was called up from Triple-A to give the Dodgers […]

Defending a sequence of one-run wins in Tarik Skubal’s starts

Multiple series against the same club in such a short time span create a scenario in which specific pitching matchups can be repeated—the case for this battle of southpaws between Tarik Skubal and Nick Lodolo. The prevailing sentiment in cases such as these is that the repeat game can favor the hitter who starts to […]

Dodgers Week 25: Shohei Ohtani to injured list, Josue De Paula debuts

It was a real week of ups and downs for the Dodgers, who ran their season-best win streak to eight games before dropping two games in Miami, with a brutal Sunday loss that prevented what would have been a stellar week. The Dodgers finally pulled the plug on Shohei Ohtani, placing the superstar on the […]

Edwin Díaz struggles again in rehab assignment, Kris Bubic keeps adding zeroes

Edwin Díaz signed a record-setting contract for a relief pitcher last offseason, but his first season with the Dodgers has been a lost cause, sidelined by a pair of injuries, currently on the sidelines with neck inflammation. Díaz had another bad rehab outing on Sunday with Oklahoma City. Díaz faced eight batters and retired two […]

Dodgers on Deck: Monday, September 14 at Reds

The Dodgers road trip moves on to Cincinnati, where the Dodgers will face a reeling Reds team they just swept last week in Los Angeles. Since the Reds were swept, they lost their first two road games against another division leader, falling to the Milwaukee Brewers 20-0 on Friday and 13-9 on Saturday. Tarik Skubal […]

Tulsa Drillers set home run record in backing Patrick Copen

Saturday in the Dodgers minor leagues saw Oklahoma City get even closer to a postseason berth, and Tulsa power their way to another win in a record-setting evening in Springdale, Arkansas. Player of the day Patrick Copen’s final start of the regular season was very good, with six scoreless innings and six strikeouts for Double-A […]

Dodgers notes: Tyler Glasnow, Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy

The Dodgers’ season-high eight game win streak came to a crashing halt on Saturday, as they fell to the Miami Marlins 4-3. Saturday turned out to be a rough outing for right-hander Tyler Glasnow, who completed just four full innings of work through 91 pitches while getting charged for four earned runs, resulting in his […]
