Dodgers on a National League winning streak
The last time the Dodgers lost to a National League team was 192 days ago. That was Game 3 of the Division Series, a 3-2 game entering the eighth that turned into a blowout with Clayton Kershaw wearing it during a second inning of work when Tanner Scott wasn’t available. After that came a thrilling […]
Dodgers 2026 opening day payroll is $410.8 million
The Dodgers payroll will likely set another MLB record this year, as they started on opening day with a payroll for competitive balance tax purposes just shy of $411 million. What they are actually paying this year is a bit different. I’ve been tracking Dodgers payroll since 2010, and as I wrote during the offseason […]

The Jumbo Jack and Panda Express Plate promotions have returned
Almost two seasons ago, I was watching a Dodgers telecast where announcer Joe Davis and play-by-play analyst Orel Hershiser commented about one of the two main food promotions associated with the Dodgers: the “free” Jumbo Jack with the purchase of a large drink at participating Jack in the Box restaurants, the day after the Dodgers […]
Tyler Glasnow in Coors for the first time ever
Going on his third season as a Dodger in 2026, Tyler Glasnow still has a lot of firsts left to accomplish, and one of them will be done this weekend—would you believe that this will be the first time Glasnow starts a game in Coors Field in his career? Scheduling and injuries have prevented the […]

Dodgers notes: Kyle Tucker, Shohei Ohtani, Edwin Díaz
Last season, a corner outfielder wearing the jersey no. 23 got off to a rough start in his first year as a Dodgers. This season, a shiny new corner outfielder wearing no. 23 has gotten off to an equally frustrating start. Kyle Tucker was signed to be that impact corner outfielder at the top of […]

Since 2005, every April 15th has been designated as Jackie Robinson Day across all of MLB. It of course has special meaning to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team for which he debuted in 1947.

The Dodgers honored the life and legacy of Jackie Robinson on Wednesday, and then proceeded to back Shohei Ohtani’s gem with four home runs as they swept the New York Mets with a dominant 8-2 victory.

So far this homestand, the Los Angeles Dodgers have quietly handled the New York Mets, with the pitching staff allowing only one run in 18 innings.

In the best pitching duel the Dodgers have seen so far this season, Yoshinobu Yamamoto went toe-to-toe with New York Mets right-hander Nolan McLean and continued the trend of starting pitching giving Mets hitters headaches.

LOS ANGELES — Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Nolan McLean engaged in a wonderful pitching duel on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, pitchers with different styles but equally vast repertoires, and both exceedingly difficult to score against.
