Dodgers find more offense, hold on to beat Rockies again

The Dodgers scored in four different innings, including a three-run fourth inning and held on to beat the Colorado Rockies 7-6 on Tuesday night at Coors Field in Denver. Before this series, the Dodgers hadn’t scored at least six runs in consecutive games since June 29-30. That was back when the Dodgers led the majors […]

After two weeks with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Emmet Sheehan is back with the Dodgers on his first day eligible to return after 15 days on optional assignment to the minors.

Edwin Díaz back on injured list with neck inflammation

The Dodgers on Tuesday placed closer Edwin Díaz back on the injured list with neck inflammation after a disastrous three weeks back on the active roster.

Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, August 19 at Rockies

The Dodgers’ shortest road trip of the season ends on Wednesday night, with the third and final game against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on this one-city trip. Roki Sasaki has allowed two or fewer runs in each of his last five starts, and over his last six outings had a 2.50 ERA with […]

The Dodgers enter Tuesday with an eight-game lead over the San Diego Padres and nine-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West.

Dodger notes – Max Muncy, Tarik Skubal

By this point, every Dodger fan knows the story of Max Muncy, how he had lost the love of the game and considered never playing again. Now, Muncy has a nine-year career with the Dodgers, which includes three All-Star appearances and three World Series rings. And most recently, the most home runs at Dodgers Stadium. […]

Dodgers bats come alive in blowout win at Coors Field

Dominant from the get-go, the Dodgers cruised through an 11-5 win over the Rockies. And fair or not, too many times this season, particularly as of late, it has felt as though this team didn’t live up to the expectations of dominating a starting pitcher in a matchup they should handle. While the end product […]

Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, August 18 at Rockies

The Dodgers and Rockies continue their series on Tuesday night at Coors Field in Denver. Eric Lauer is coming off his longest start as a Dodger, throwing 112 pitches in 6 1/3 innings last Wednesday in a win over the Kansas City Royals. The veteran left-hander has struggled in his career at Coors Field, 1-6 […]

Blake Snell makes first start in Coors since 2023

In a meeting of two pitchers who began their careers in the AL East, Blake Snell leads the Dodgers against Tomoyuki Sugano and the Rockies. This visit to Coors Field comes at an opportune time for a struggling offense, having just lost three out of four against the Brewers at home. The Dodgers averaged a […]

Chase Complete

By the time this missive goes live, Mom, Adric, and I will be in Denver, Colorado, on our annual trip. She is over the moon on the eve of going, and I look forward to adding to our growing travelogue of annual adventures while updating the Colorado portion of The Guide. The Dodgers ran a […]

Dodgers Week 21: Not good enough

The Dodgers technically had a winning week, but did so in such underwhelming fashion thanks to an offense that hasn’t pulled its weight for nearly two months. Los Angeles scored six and five runs in the first two games of their sweep of the last-place Kansas City Royals, needing a 10th inning on Tuesday to […]

Jackson Ferris has best start of season for Oklahoma City

Sunday in the Dodgers minor leagues featured two standout pitching performances, a Josue De Paula home run, and a huge ninth inning for Ontario.

Dodgers notes: Tommy John, Mookie Betts, Kyle Tucker

Tommy John died on Saturday at age 83, remembered for his astonishing 26 years of pitching in the big leagues and for being the first to undergo the elbow construction surgery that bears his name. Tyler Kepner quoted Dr. Frank Jobe, who performed the surgery on John in 1974, in his obituary of John for […]

Tarik Skubal out-dueled, Dodgers fall to Brewers 6-2

The Dodgers struggled to get anything going offensively on Sunday, as they only mustered two runs while falling to the Milwaukee Brewers by a four-run margin. After a 15-pitch first inning where he abandoned two baserunners, Tarik Skubal was the victim of the Brewers’ tenacity with two outs. Jonathan Ornelas lined a single to left […]

Tommy John, 26-year pitcher & everlasting baseball icon, dies at 83

Tommy John’s name will live on in baseball forever, long after his excellent 26-year major league pitching career ended. John died on Saturday at age 83, and will be long remembered for being the first to undergo the surgery that bears his name. John’s baseball accolades on their own are mind-boggling. He played in 26 […]

Dodgers on Deck: Monday, August 17 at Rockies

The Dodgers and their weary bullpen are 10 days into a stretch of 13 game days in a row, with the only thing standing between them and a rest day are the Colorado Rockies at the pitching slaughterhouse known as Coors Field in Denver. Blake Snell was terrific last Tuesday in his return from three […]

Cole Irvin rolls in Pacific Coast League, Blake Treinen starts rehab assignment

One veteran pitcher excelling in Triple-A, and another rehabbing in Class-A were among the highlights of the Dodgers minor leagues on Saturday night. Player of the day Veteran left-hander Cole Irvin continues his solid season with another win for Oklahoma City, his Pacific Coast League-leading 11th of the season, and Irvin’s 6 2/3 innings lowered […]

Dodgers notes: Justin Wrobleski, Tyler Glasnow, Tarik Skubal

During the first half of the season, Justin Wrobleski was one of the most reliable pitchers in the Dodgers rotation, earning him the first All-Star selection of his career. Since the beginning of the second half of the regular season, Wrobleski has not been able to carry over the same success he had in the […]

Jacob Misiorowski shuts down Dodgers, Brewers homer twice of Justin Wrobleski

LOS ANGELES — Jacob Misiorowski proved every bit the tough customer the Dodgers thought he’d be, striking out six over six innings in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 4-1 win on Saturday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. “He’s probably the best pitcher in baseball, throwing the baseball the best this year. He’s going to get his strikeouts, he’s […]
