Dodgers in need of a sweep

The Dodgers arrived back home on fumes, having lost eight of their previous nine games. They’ve eked out two one-run wins over a last-place Kansas City Royals team, and on Wednesday have a chance to do something that’s been a long time coming: sweep a team. Last time the Dodgers swept a team was June […]

Dodgers minors: Nico Perez’s second two-homer game of the season

Bobby Miller encountered some problems in his second appearance back from injury in Triple-A, and the Drillers overcame a blown save to beat the Travelers in walk-off fashion. Player of the day When the most impressive game is also the one with the biggest impact, the choice is easy, and such was the case for […]

Dodgers notes: Blake Snell, Mookie Betts, Max Muncy

The Dodgers are now on a two-game winning streak after securing a walk-off victory against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. Although the bullpen nearly cost the Dodgers with a three-run implosion in the top of the eighth inning, the highlight early on was the return of two-time Cy Young award winner Blake Snell. Snell […]

Blake Snell is back, Dodgers hoping for another strong finish

LOS ANGELES — For the third consecutive season, Blake Snell is returning from an injury in the second half of the season. He’ll be activated off the 60-day injured list on Tuesday to start against the Kansas City Royals, and the Dodgers are looking for another strong finishing kick, which has become the norm for […]

Dodgers back to a 6-man starting rotation, for now

LOS ANGELES — When Blake Snell returns from the injured list to start Tuesday night, the Dodgers will have a full six-man starting rotation again, for the first time since Shohei Ohtani last pitched, on July 3. In the 30 games since Ohtani’s last start, the Dodgers have used five regular starters, with Tarik Skubal […]

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 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.

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 […]
