Yoshinobu Yamamoto has lasted at least six innings in each of his last eight starts. This will be his first career start against the Red Sox. […]

Dodgers welcome Red Sox for three game set

After taking two of three from the Seattle Mariners, the Los Angeles Dodgers now welcome the surging Boston Red Sox. Boston now sits in third place in the AL East, seven games behind the Tampa Bay Rays. Their record in 57-51, which oddly has been their record after 108 games each of the last four […]

Dodgers draft picks signing their first contracts

Monday was the deadline for major league teams to sign their 2026 MLB Draft picks, and the Dodgers signed 15 of their 16 selections, in their most pared-down draft in recent memory. The signings of Kyle Tucker and Edwin Díaz stripped the Dodgers of draft picks in the second, third, fifth, and sixth rounds, which […]

Dodgers notes: Tarik Skubal, Shohei Ohtani, Orel Hersheiser

The trade deadline is only one series away for the Dodgers, and they have found themselves entrenched on acquiring the biggest fish. The Detroit Tigers have been on a free fall to begin the second half of the regular season, leaving the future of Tarik Skubal with Detroit up in the air. The Dodgers are […]

Roki Sasaki keeps impressing as Dodgers defeat Mariners 6-2

Dodgers on Deck: Friday, July 31 vs. Red Sox

The Dodgers all-American League homestand continues this weekend facing the Boston Red Sox at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. The Dodgers haven’t yet named a starting pitcher for Friday, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto starting on Saturday. Presumably that means a bullpen game. Ranger Suárez starts for Boston, the first of three consecutive left-handed starting pitchers for […]

Aiming to capitalize on opportunities against the Mariners

Perhaps no starting pitcher on the Mariners’ staff better represents the drop-off from last season than Bryan Woo, the starter the Dodgers will be facing in this series finale. Despite similar underlying numbers, including a lower FIP than he had a year ago, Woo hasn’t delivered as the ace he established himself as, posting back-to-back […]

Tuesday night’s win over the Seattle Mariners was the Dodgers’ 108th game of the season. That means the 2026 campaign is officially two-thirds complete.

Dodgers minors: Jake Gelof’s first professional three-homer game

Three different teams went over double digits in a day of great offensive performances in the Dodgers minor league system. Player of the day If there was a case to be made for a couple of other names to be the Player of the Day on Tuesday, Jake Gelof this time made it a no-contest. […]

Dodger notes: Shohei Ohtani, Edwin Diaz

T-minus four days until the trade deadline, and of course all of the conversation is revolving around who Tarik Skubal would be traded to, if he is, and will it be the Dodgers. The conversation has ramped up with Shohei Ohtani revealing that he is dealing with a biceps issue. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic […]

Eric Lauer, Andy Pages lead Dodgers over Mariners

Eric Lauer pitched six scoreless innings, and Andy Pages homered in a three-hit game to lift the Dodgers over the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium.

Edwin Díaz back with Dodgers 3 months after elbow surgery

The Dodgers activated Edwin Díaz from the 60-day injured list on Wednesday as expected, getting their closer back in a bullpen suddenly in need of stability from its right-handed relievers. Díaz last pitched for the Dodgers on April 19, and missed the last 100 days after arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his right […]

Shohei Ohtani biceps injury adds new wrinkle to Dodgers plans

It’s been almost four weeks since Shohei Ohtani last pitched in a game, still managing the left knee inflammation that still isn’t 100 percent. But that’s not the only injury the Dodgers superstar is dealing with. After Tuesday night’s game, Ohtani revealed that his right bicep has also been bothering him. That was part of […]

Dodgers minors: Jake Gelof sets the tone as Drillers score eleven

Two wins and two losses kick off a week in which all four of the Dodgers minor league affiliates are playing at home. Player of the day Enjoying the benefits of hitting in front of Mike Sirota, Jake Gelof got the party started on what was a tremendous offensive performance for the Drillers, scoring 11 […]

MLB

Dodgers notes: Kyle Tucker, Edwin Díaz, Will Smith

The Dodgers thought they had won the offseason with the massive contract they dished out to Kyle Tucker. The four-time All-Star saw plenty of success with both Houston and Chicago, but, just like Tanner Scott last year, year 1 as a Dodger has not been kind for the outfielder. Tucker ended the first half with […]

Mariners’ five homers too much to overcome for the Dodgers

In the definition of a back-and-forth battle, the Mariners outslugged the Dodgers with a season-high five home runs in a 7-6 loss for the reigning champs. Neither team seemed capable of holding onto a lead for any meaningful period until the Mariners jumped in front in the eighth thanks to a two-run shot from Dominic […]
