Where The Dodger Dogs Are Always Grilled
Another Monday, another post wondering when the Dodgers offense will find itself. After grinding out three runs in a win against Chris Sale, he who had only allowed that many in his last four starts combined, they only mustered exactly two runs in the last two games of the series with the Braves. Both runs […]
The good news is that, unlike last week the Dodgers did hit a home run this week, eight of them in fact. But outside of two solid hitting games in Houston, the offense was mostly shut down in the other four games, leading to a split of six games against the Houston Astros and Atlanta […]
Dodgers affiliates fought multiple opponents on Sunday — opposing offenses, and rain. Player of the day Great Lakes right fielder Jose Meza was in the middle of all three scoring innings for the Loons in Sunday’s win. He walked with the bases loaded in the third inning, hit a two-run double in the fourth, then […]
With Mookie Betts set to be activated off the injured list on Monday after missing over five weeks with a strained oblique, the Dodgers have a decision to make — either option one of Alex Freeland or Hyeseong Kim, or designate veteran Santiago Espinal for assignment. Bill Plunkett at the Orange County Register looked at […]
A busy week in the National League West was marked by a few All-Star starting pitchers getting sidelined, and a few roster shakeups among the under-.500 teams in the division. San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb, who led the National League in innings pitched in each of the last three seasons, including leading the majors […]
Mookie Betts is coming back from the injured list on Monday, after missing over five weeks with a strained oblique. He returns to a Dodgers lineup that is struggling, averaging just 3.89 runs per game over the last 18 games (eighth-worst in MLB) with a lowly 89 wRC+. The Dodgers plan to ease Betts back […]
The Dodgers (24-16) dropped their second straight game with a score of 7-2 to the Braves (28-13) on Sunday afternoon at Dodger Stadium.

LOS ANGELES — The bill for heavy bullpen usage for three straight games has come due for the Dodgers.

The Dodgers host the longtime rival San Francisco Giants for four games beginning Monday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Roki Sasaki starts the series opener, this time on eight days rest after the slight rotation shuffle with Blake Snell returning from his rehab assignment to start on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves. This […]
Mookie Betts singled and walked in his second and likely final rehab game for Triple-A Oklahoma City, and played six innings at shortstop. He advanced from first to third base twice after reaching base on Saturday. In two games with Oklahoma City, Betts had two singles and a walk in his six trips to the […]
While the Atlanta Braves split the series against the Dodgers on Saturday with a 7-2 victory, the team and fanbase were saddened with the news that their former longtime manager, Bobby Cox, passed away at the age of 84. Cox had managed the Atlanta Braves for parts of 25 years between 1978-2010, earning five National […]
The Dodgers got the best of Chris Sale on Friday, but against the flamethrower Spencer Strider and crew, they were nearly left silent as the Braves defeated the Dodgers by a final of 7-2. Blake Snell made his 2026 season debut after missing the first month of the regular season, marking his first appearance since […]
Not everything has gone as planned this week in the Dodgers rotation, with Tyler Glasnow landing on the injured list and Blake Snell cutting short his rehab assignment to start in Los Angeles on Saturday. But in Sunday’s series finale, the Dodgers can turn to one of their steadiest hands going at the moment in […]
Blake Snell makes his season debut against Spencer Strider. SATURDAY GAME INFO
LOS ANGELES — Blake Snell was activated off the injured list on Saturday to start against the Atlanta Braves, after missing the first six-plus weeks of the season with left shoulder fatigue.

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers claimed pitcher Charlie Barnes off waivers from the Chicago Cubs on Saturday, adding to their potential starting pitcher depth. Barnes pitched once for the Cubs this season, allowing four runs (three earned) in three innings of bulk relief on April 13. Most of the left-hander’s work this season has been […]
As discourse in baseball touches on how the Tigers will fare in the absence of Tarik Skubal, the reigning back-to-back champs take the field with Blake Snell on the mound for the first time in 2026—they do so, having managed his absence about as well as anyone could’ve hoped for, particularly given the outstanding efforts […]
LOS ANGELES — Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas left Friday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves after seven innings, feeling something in his hip earlier in the game. Rojas said he first felt it coming out of the batters box in the second inning, then again in the fifth inning while trying to turn a double […]
Friday in the Dodgers minors featured two rehabbing major leaguers, a doubleheader split, and a wild comeback for naught. Player of the day Tyler Fitzgerald hit his first two home runs since joining the Dodgers organization, including a game-tying grand slam with one out in the ninth inning for Oklahoma City. Fitzgerald, acquired from the […]
Ian Cundall at Baseball America recently watched Dodgers prospect Emil Morales with Ontario as well as San Francisco Giants prospect Jhonny Level, then compared and contrasted the two 19-year-old California League shortstops ranked in the top 100. “Morales has the makings of a power-over-hit player and is likely a corner infielder. There’s considerable variance in […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers clawed and scrapped their way to some offense against Chris Sale to get the better of the Atlanta Braves 3-1 in Friday night’s series opener between perennial National League powerhouses at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers had only five hits in seven innings against Sale, but made them count. Teoscar Hernández […]

The Dodgers and Atlanta Braves continue their weekend series on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium, with a start time an hour earlier than Friday night.
