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 […]
Wrong bait: Marlins unfazed by Tyler Glasnow’s luring stuff
First-inning runs alone won’t get you over the line most of the time. Stopping at a pair of early solo shots—at least until the ninth inning—the Dodgers’ offense left a lot to be desired in a 4-3 loss to the Marlins, as Tyler Glasnow went through plenty of issues in his shortest regular start of […]
Mookie Betts hits 10,000th home run in LA Dodgers history
The Lakers moved to Los Angeles in 1960, coming from Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, which led to the team’s name. The Dodgers, who arrived in town two years earlier, have made Los Angeles the land of 10,000 home runs. That’s how many homers the Dodgers have hit since moving from Brooklyn to Los […]

Dodgers on Deck: Sunday, September 13 at Marlins
The Dodgers and Marlins conclude their 2026 business on Sunday afternoon at loanDepot Park in Miami. The Dodgers haven’t listed a starter, but Emmet Sheehan is in line to pitch bulk innings after his stellar Monday start at home. Justin Wrobleski was previously listed as the Sunday starter, perhaps as an opener, as the left-hander […]
Dodgers are first MLB team with 90 wins in 13 full seasons in a row
Friday’s victory over the Miami Marlins was the Dodgers’ 90th win of the season, a mark that has long been seen as a sign of success in baseball and has amazingly become the floor for the Dodgers for 14 years running. The Dodgers have won at least 90 games in each of the last 13 […]
Great Lakes eliminated, Oklahoma City wins 13th straight
The Great Lakes Loons were eliminated from the Midwest League playoffs on Friday, as the Dodgers’ High-A affiliate lost 5-0 to the Dayton Dragons (Reds) in Game 3 of the East Division playoffs. Cam Leiter was two outs into the fourth inning with five strikeouts and only a hit and a walk allowed, but then […]
Eric Lauer placed on 60-day injured list, ending his season
The Dodgers on Friday called up phenom Josue De Paula, their top prospect, and placed Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list. Those were the expected moves, and took care of the active-roster component. But to make room on the 40-man roster for De Paula, the Dodgers transferred left-hander Eric Lauer to the 60-day injured […]
Notes: MLB expansion, position players pitching, 2028 Olympics
One aspect of the upcoming labor battle this offseason, after the collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1, is Major League Baseballs desire to expand from 30 to 32 teams. MLB’s last expansion was in 1998, and Jeff Passan at ESPN in his outline of potential new cities notes that commissioner Rob Manfred wants the […]
Kyle Tucker’s grand slam powers Dodgers to 8 straight wins
Kyle Tucker hit a crucial seventh-inning grand slam to power the Dodgers (90-57) to a 6-2 win over the Marlins (72-76) Friday night in Miami. It was an exciting night in Miami with pregame buzz surrounding the MLB debut of Dodgers top prospect Josue De Paula. De Paula went 0-for-3 on the night. He flied […]
Dodgers on Deck: Saturday, September 12 at Marlins
The Dodgers and Miami Marlins continue their weekend series with an afternoon game on Saturday at loanDepot Park, a 4:10 p.m. start time locally and 1:10 p.m. back in Los Angeles. Tyler Glasnow takes the ball for Los Angeles, making his fourth start since returning from the injured list. Right-hander Tyler Phillips starts for the […]
Dodgers vs. Marlins game chat
The Dodgers (89-57) take on the Marlins (72-75) in Miami Friday evening when they open a seven-game road trip. Top prospect Josue De Paula makes his MLB debut at DH. Blake Snell (3-1, 1.97 ERA, 1.09 WHIP) starts for the Dodgers in the series opener. Ryan Gusto (1-4, 4.23 ERA, 1.41 WHIP) toes the rubber […]
Josue De Paula, youngest Dodger in 9 years, bats 7th in MLB debut
Josue De Paula makes his major league debut on Friday night for the Dodgers against the Marlins at loanDepot Park in Miami. De Paula is the designated hitter, as expected, and bats seventh in his first game in the big leagues. Right-hander Ryan Gusto starts on the mound for the Marlins. The lefty-hitting De Paula […]
Tale of two outfielders
When our Social Media Manager, Lindsay Adams, asked after the Trade Deadline how we thought the team did, I could only say the following: The team didn’t do enough. Hold onto your butts! Granted, the team traded for Tarik Skubal, which would not have been my choice, even though he’s been fine since arriving in […]
Josue De Paula’s highly anticipated debut against the Marlins
Blake Snell may be in the middle of a dominant run of form—quickly settling in after his return—but all eyes will be on Josue De Paula as the Dodgers’ top prospect makes his MLB debut this Friday against the Marlins. Chosen as the primary option to temporarily replace Shohei Ohtani as this team’s starting designated […]
Pick your poison: Do you want the Dodgers No. 1 or No. 2?
The Dodgers are on the cusp of qualifying for the postseason tournament, where they will attempt to successfully defend their championship for the second year in a row. Shocking, I know. It would have been a far more unexpected story had the Dodgers somehow bungled their way to an early trip to Cancun. But imagine […]
What Josue De Paula brings to the Dodgers
Josue De Paula is one of the most-heralded call ups of the 2026 season, with the outfielder in updated prospect ratings ranked third by Baseball Prospectus in July, fourth by Baseball America in August, sixth by MLB Pipeline in August, 10th by ESPN in August, and 18th by The Athletic in July. De Paula has […]
Dodgers minors: Jake Gelof makes Tulsa Drillers history
Regular-season wins for the Comets and Drillers. Playoff losses for the Loons and Tower Buzzers. That’s how a full slate of games on Thursday went down in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Player of the Day Jake Gelof wrote his name in the history books of the Tulsa Drillers when he left the yard for […]
Dodgers notes: Edwin Díaz, Shohei Ohtani, Josue De Paula
The Dodgers bullpen contains pitchers who’ve bounced back after a rough first season in Los Angeles— i.e. Tanner Scott— and those who have struggled since first donning the Dodger blue— i.e. Edwin Díaz. For a closer signed to a three-year, $69 million over the offseason, Díaz has come nowhere near close to meeting expectations, as […]
Dodgers are hurting, but found their footing at home
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani has not played in six of the last seven games, and is being placed on the injured list. Freddie Freeman missed two games in the last week and was the designated hitter for another game as he nurses a right knee issue. The Dodgers began their homestand with two frustrating […]
Edgardo Henríquez is turning heads and getting outs
LOS ANGELES — When Tarik Skubal walked off the mound with one out in the eighth inning with a slim lead on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, the top of the Cincinnati Reds batting order was due up, and in came Edgardo Henríquez out of the Dodgers bullpen. The hard-throwing right-hander allowed a double to […]
With or without Edwin Díaz, Dodgers bullpen should be fine
Remember when the Dodgers went to the market and spent a lot of money to sign Edwin Díaz, baseball’s number one available relief pitcher simply because they could? Well, that hasn’t worked out the way everybody hoped. Intentionally overlooking the possibility — small, although very real — that something clicks and Díaz can perform up […]
Dodgers minors: Logan Wagner’s first two-homer game in Double-A
Two games and two wins, as the Comets and Drillers were the only teams in action on Wednesday. Player of the Day Logan Wagner hasn’t had the easiest of transitions to Double-A, which is to be expected given he began the year in rookie ball. However, in this particular game against the Naturals, he was […]
Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani on injured list, Freddie Freeman sits
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the final stretch of their push to get to the end of the season, and while they are winning much more as of late, they have to do their best to stay ahead of the Atlanta Braves for the second seed in the NL as they are still dealing […]
Dodgers see Red to complete sweep, extend win streak to 7
The Dodgers offense reawakened in a big way on Wednesday, as they completed a three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds with a 14-1 victory, extending their winning streak to a season-high seven games. Both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Rhett Lowder were able to work around a single baserunner in the first inning, with Yamamoto in particular […]
