Dodgers to call up top prospect Josue De Paula, per reports

Though the Dodgers did not call up an outfielder when active roster limits expanded on September 1, they have decided to call up Josue De Paula, their top prospect, directly from Double-A, per Alden González of ESPN, Fabian Ardaya and Katie Woo of The Athletic, Jack Harris of the California Post, and Maddie Lee of […]

Dodgers on Deck: Friday, September 11 at Marlins

The Dodgers hit the road for a seven-game trip that could conceivably see them clinch a postseason berth, a division title, or perhaps both. The trip starts with a three-game series against the Miami Marlins beginning Friday night at loanDepot Park in Miami. Neither team has named any starting pitchers for the weekend series, but […]

Jackson Ferris continues finishing kick with 6-inning save

The Oklahoma City Comets outlasted the Sugar Land Space Cowboys 8-6 on Wednesday, going two games up on Sugar Land in the second half of Pacific Coast League standings, with 10 games left to play. Jackson Ferris continued his strong recent run by pitching the final six innings in relief, with seven strikeouts. More importantly, […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets strikeout-happy Reds lineup

Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts as the Dodgers host the Reds for a final time, going for a second straight home sweep and potentially extending their current win streak to seven games. It’s a curious time in Yamamoto’s regular-season campaign, as he could feasibly tie last season’s innings total with four fewer regular-season starts, although that would […]

Dodgers minors: Zach Ehrhard’s perfect day at the plate

The playoffs started for the Loons and Tower Buzzers with very different results, while some usual suspects led the way for wins by the Comets and Drillers. Player of the Day Other players might have had more impactful games, but efficiently producing at a high level, Zach Ehrhard gets our vote as Player of the […]

Dodgers notes: Teoscar Hernández, Tarik Skubal, Will Smith

The Dodgers started off the month of September losing two straight against the St. Louis Cardinals, but they’ve turned things around over their current homestand with a six-game winning streak. Teoscar Hernández has been a key component to the Dodgers’ recent winning recipe, as the outfielder is now slashing .542/.633/.875 with a home run and […]

Tarik Skubal, Teoscar Hernández extend Dodgers win streak to 6 games

LOS ANGELES — Tarik Skubal pitched his longest start since joining the Dodgers, and Teoscar Hernández continued his excellent homestand in a 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. The Dodgers’ six-game win streak matches their longest of the season, matching May 23-29 and August 17-23. Skubal, who was flipped with Yoshinobu Yamamoto to pitch Tuesday […]

Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, September 9 vs. Reds

The Dodgers close out their nine-game homestand on Wednesday night, with one more game against the Cincinnati Reds. Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts Wednesday, and like Tuesday starter Tarik Skubal is set up to face the Reds twice in a row, as these two teams meet up again next week for four games at Great American Ball […]

Shohei Ohtani out of lineup as Dodgers ease him back into play

LOS ANGELES — After only one game back, Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is out of the lineup on Tuesday, the fifth time in six days he isn’t starting. “He came out of yesterday well, but talking with the training staff, it’s more the thought of let’s build him up slowly,” manager Dave Roberts said prior […]

Dodgers flip top of starting rotation, with an eye toward October

The Dodgers flipped their rotation order slightly for the last two games of the homestand, with Tarik Skubal pitching Tuesday on four days rest, followed by Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Wednesday before the Thursday off day. “I know Mark [Prior, pitching coach] talked it out with both guys, but I don’t know exactly what the details […]

Alek Thomas sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City

Alek Thomas was the odd man out in the Dodgers outfield last week, when he was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on September 1, then was designated for assignment on Saturday to make room for Bobby Miller’s return to the 40-man roster. Now both are back with Oklahoma City, as Miller was optioned to Triple-A […]

Dodgers scoring 6 runs on only 3 hits is quite rare

The Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds 6-3 on Monday which seems like a totally normal score, though perhaps with a little more offense than the Dodgers put forth during their July-August malaise. They’ve now scored at least six runs in three straight games, a streak they’ve now achieved twice within their last eight contests. But […]

Emmet Sheehan made the most of his return

Emmet Sheehan had such a successful first start back with the Dodgers that he earned at least another, after striking out 10 Cincinnati Reds in Monday night’s win at Dodger Stadium, his first start in the majors in five weeks. “There was a lot of stuff going down, and try to figure stuff out in […]

Ontario IF Oswaldo Osorio wins California League player of week

Dodgers minor league infielder Oswaldo Osorio hit .500 last week for the playoff-bound Class-A Ontario Tower Buzzers, and for his efforts captured the final California League player of the week award of the 2026 season. Osorio started at first base, third base, and designated hitter last week for Ontario, and in his five contests had […]

Dodgers notes – Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Andy Pages

Shohei Ohtani returned to the Dodgers lineup on Monday night against the Cincinnati Reds after missing four games dealing with lingering issues. He looked much more like himself that he has in a while. He very likely will not return as a pitcher this season, however. The Dodgers are hoping that being able to just […]

Red light turned green; all systems go for Emmet Sheehan

Based on tonight’s game alone, you could’ve fooled someone into believing Emmet Sheehan was the starting pitcher in this outing, putting up an All-Star season, as he led the way for a 6-3 win in his return to the bigs. With a scarcity of hits, particularly on the home side, the Dodgers saved their only […]

Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, September 8 vs. Reds

The Dodgers and Reds continue their series, and Tarik Skubal makes his second start of the homestand. Because these two teams play again next week in Cincinnati, Skubal will likely start twice against the Reds. Left-hander Nick Lodolo starts Tuesday for Cincinnati. Tuesday game info

Shohei Ohtani’s return against one of the NL’s top starters

Never has a four-game streak felt so flat as one with the heavy cloud of Shohei Ohtani’s absence looming over the Dodgers, but those scary days seem to be over, and not a moment too soon. According to Dave Roberts, his star player is ready to return tonight against the Reds as the Dodgers get […]

Dodgers Week 24: Comeback kings

September started out roughly with two losses in a row to the St. Louis Cardinals, one a blowout and another a blown lead. Things could have gone very badly in the first week of the month, but the Dodgers won their final four games of the week, including a sweep of the Washington Nationals for […]

Edwin Díaz starts rehab assignment, Zach Ehrhard leads Oklahoma City to sweep

Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz started a rehab assignment on Sunday with Oklahoma City, and pitched a scoreless inning, though it wasn’t clean. He walked a batter and threw only seven strikes among his 16 pitches, and did not induce a swinging strike, though did get a called strikeout. “I’m sure Edwin is going to want […]

Dodgers notes: Teoscar Hernández, Josue De Paula, Mark Walter

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers didn’t call up an outfielder when active roster limits expanded on September 1, and in fact subtracted an outfielder with Alek Thomas sent back down to the minors. That meant no platooning of either struggling corner outfielder. “We didn’t bring up an outfielder. That’s part of the bet on Teo, […]

Dodgers storm their way back to sweep Nationals

On a stormy Sunday night in September, the Dodgers completed a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals, winning the finale 7-5. Both Justin Wrobleski and Nationals southpaw Andrew Alvarez kept the ice frozen until the bottom of the third inning, as a Max Muncy double and Tommy Edman infield single allowed Mookie Betts to bring […]
