Joendry Vargas wins California League player of week

Dodgers minor league infielder Joendry Vargas had a productive series for Class-A Ontario on the road last week in Lake Elsinore, and for his efforts on Monday was named California League player of the week. Vargas had 11 hits in 25 at-bats in his six games for the Tower Buzzers with four doubles, a home […]

Dodgers getting ‘bullied’ by fastballs

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers won the first game of their seven-game homestand on Monday, but thoughts still turned to not only their recent eight losses in nine games but also their general malaise as a team for the past six weeks. Earlier Monday, Fabian Ardaya at The Athletic wrote about how inept the Dodgers […]

Dodgers grind out a win over the Royals in a one-run game

The wins are rare and not so easily attained for the Dodgers at this specific moment in the season. And hosting the Royals, it took all that this team had to outlast the opposition in a 6-5 victory in a back-and-forth matchup with multiple lead changes, ultimately decided on a Freddie Freeman RBI single. Allowing […]

Dodgers vs. Royals: game chat

The first of hopefully many outstanding starts for Tarik Skubal at Dodger Stadium in 2026. Monday’s game info

Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, August 11 vs. Royals

Blake Snell will make his first start for the Dodgers in three months on Tuesday, activated off the 60-day injured list after rehabbing from left elbow surgery in May. Michael Wacha starts on the mound for Kansas City. Tuesday game info

Dodgers add Seth Halvorsen, Charlie Barnes to bullpen

LOS ANGELES — After two straight days of heavy bullpen usage, the Dodgers called up a few fresh arms ahead of their homestand opener on Monday night against the Kansas City Royals at Dodger Stadium. Seth Halvorsen and Charlie Barnes were called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Barnes was not on the 40-man roster so […]

Tarik Skubal’s home debut against last-place Royals

When Tarik Skubal last took the mound at Dodger Stadium, he did so for the first time as a Cy Young winner for the Tigers in the Dodgers’ home opener back in 2025. That wasn’t one of Skubal’s finest moments, allowing four runs in just five innings in what turned out to be a one-run […]

Week 20: Did the Dodgers’ play ruin baseball?

For all the talk of the Dodgers ruining competitive balance in baseball, they’ve been neither competitive nor balanced of late. Their losing ways continued on the road last week, getting swept by the Chicago Cubs then losing two of three to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The only win in six games last week came after somehow […]

MLB sets 2026 postseason schedule

Regardless of how badly the Dodgers have played of late, they are going to make the postseason this year. That much is a given, but when said playoffs might start for Los Angeles remains to be seen. However, we now have the schedule that will define when the Dodgers might play this October. Major League […]

Eduardo Quintero, Josue De Paula, Charles Davalan shine Sunday

A recap of Sunday in the Dodgers minor leagues, outside of Tyler Glasnow’s rehab start for Oklahoma City on Sunday night. Player of the day Eduardo Quintero, who was ranked the No. 16 prospect in the sport last week in an update by Baseball America, hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning to […]

Miguel Rojas is Dodgers Heart & Hustle Award winner

The Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association on Friday announced the 30 Heart and Hustle Award winners, a player from each team who “exemplify a true passion for the game and who best embody the values, spirit and traditions of the game.” Voted on exclusively by former MLB players, the Dodgers Heart and Hustle Award […]

Tyler Glasnow strikes out 2 second rehab start

Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow made his second minor league rehab start this week, throwing 47 pitches in 2 2/3 innings on Sunday night for Triple-A Oklahoma City on the road against the Salt Lake Bees, an Angels affiliate. Glasnow struck out two and allowed a run on one hit and one walk. The run came […]

Justin Wrobleski, Dodgers offense continue struggles in another loss

Unfortunately for the Dodgers there isn’t much you can do when good players don’t play well. Justin Wrobleski was an All-Star this season but of late has been nowhere close to that. The left-hander couldn’t finish the fourth inning in a 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday at Chase Field in Phoenix. Wrobleski […]

Dodgers on Deck: Monday, August 10 vs. Royals

After a dreadful road trip the Dodgers return home for seven games at Dodger Stadium. First up are the Kansas City Royals, beginning Monday night in Los Angeles. Tarik Skubal makes his first Dodger Stadium start since joining the Dodgers, after allowing two runs in six innings last Tuesday in a tough-luck loss at Wrigley […]

Rarity of surviving two triples

Saturday night’s game at Chase Field looked eerily similar to the night before. Tasked with a lead in the ninth inning after a low-scoring game, an ineffective Edwin Díaz surrendered the advantage. Geraldo Perdomo tripled, then Corbin Carroll did the same. A precarious 1-0 lead was gone, and the Diamondbacks had the winning run on […]

Alek Thomas has 4-hit, 4-RBI game for Oklahoma City

All four Dodgers affiliates lost on Saturday. Player of the day Alek Thomas drove in four runs on Friday, then plated another four runs on Saturday for Oklahoma City. He tripled, doubled, and had two singles against Salt Lake. Triple-A Oklahoma City The Comets were on the wrong end of an offensive battle, falling 14-13 […]

Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki

The Dodgers are back in the win column for the first time since July 30, as they took an extra-inning thriller against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday to end a seven-game skid. Shohei Ohtani provided the deciding run, grounding an infield single to bring home Kyle Tucker to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead with […]

Dodgers on Deck: Sunday, August 9 at Diamondbacks

Justin Wrobleski was an All-Star this season but heads into Sunday with plenty of room for improvement after two forgettable starts in a row. Wrobleski allowed four home runs in each of his last two outings, matching his total from his first 17 games and 106 2/3 innings this season. Fellow left-hander Eduardo Rodríguez is […]

Dodgers search for elusive first win in August

The Dodgers will turn to Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Saturday in hopes to end their seven-game losing streak, a stretch in which nothing really seems to match up properly. Yamamoto pitched quite well last Saturday at home, allowing three runs in eight innings to the Boston Red Sox, but that was a game in which the […]

Christian Zazueta has best Double-A start yet

Three of four Dodgers minor league affiliates won on Friday. Player of the day Right-hander Christian Zazueta, the Dodgers’ top pitching prospect, had his best start since getting promoted to Double-A, with eight strikeouts in six scoreless innings for Tulsa on Friday night in Corpus Christi. Zazueta in seven starts in Double-A has a 3.30 […]

Dodgers notes: Edwin Díaz, Tarik Skubal, Blake Snell

The Dodgers came tantalizingly close to a win on Friday night, but Edwin Díaz saw a slider deposited over the wall for a two-run home run, turning a one-run lead into a stunning walk-off loss to the Diamondbacks. After the Dodgers’ seventh straight loss, manager Dave Roberts talked about Díaz, who since returning from the […]
