Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Justin Wrobleski, Edwin Díaz
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.

After Yamamoto & McLean duel, Dodgers squeak by Mets
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.

Dodgers being cautious with Mookie Betts’ return from oblique injury
LOS ANGELES — Technically, Wednesday’s series finale against the New York Mets is the first day Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts is eligible to return from the injured list.

Dodgers starters right in the middle of things

Justin Wrobleski did the maximum by facing nearly the minimum
Justin Wrobleski had the best start of the Dodgers season to date and the best outing of his career in Monday night’s win over the New York Mets. Wrobleski was so efficient in his eight scoreless innings that some of the talk afterwards was about why he didn’t get a chance to finish the game. […]

Ben Casparius on injured list, Dodgers recall Kyle Hurt
The first two and a half weeks of the season were uncommonly stable for the Dodgers pitching staff, but on Monday they made their first pitching roster move since opening day. Ben Casparius was placed on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation before the Dodgers’ series opener against the New York Mets, and Kyle […]
Dodgers offense gets favorable matchup against the Mets
The Mets versus the Dodgers is about as star-studded a matchup as the National League can offer these days.

Dodgers Week 3: Shohei Ohtani, Max Muncy, strong starting pitching
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are going through some things in the early going, including both of their premium free agent acquisitions this winter.
