Freddie Freeman’s slow-played spring training plan

Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching preparation takes different forms
Before the Dodgers played the Padres on Sunday in Peoria, morning work at Camelback Ranch included both Shohei Ohtani and Edwin Díaz pitching to hitters.

Big innings have defined the first weekend of Dodgers spring training games so far. Sunday included a four-run third inning that fueled a 5-1 win over the San Diego Padres in Peoria.

Dodgers & spring training playing time
After two years of early overseas trips and truncated Cactus League schedules, the Dodgers are back to a full-fledged relatively normal spring training this season, with four and a half weeks of games in preparation for the regular season. The one small wrench into the plans is the World Baseball Classic, with over a handful […]

Dodger baseball is officially back in session, and it began on Saturday with a thunderous 15-2 victory over the Angels at Tempe Diablo Stadium.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start again for Dodgers before World Baseball Classic
Yoshinobu Yamamoto had one very good inning and one bumpy frame in his 2026 spring training debut on Saturday against the Angels in Tempe. But the news from the Dodgers’ Cactus League opener is that Yamamoto will make one more start in Arizona before leaving to join Team Japan in preparation for the World Baseball […]

The never-ending quest for depth continues, and on Saturday the Dodgers claimed outfielder Jack Suwinski off waivers from the Pirates.

Dodgers notes: Josue De Paula, Andrew Friedman, Kyle Tucker
Josue De Paula is the highest-ranked Dodgers prospect on average and a consensus top-25 prospect in the sport heading into 2026. After playing the last week of last season with Double-A Tulsa, De Paula is one step closer to the majors and won’t turn 21 until May. Dylan Hernández for The California Post talked with […]

Longest-tenured Dodgers list enters a new era
Last season was a year of roster transition for the Dodgers, who cut ties with longtime mainstays Chris Taylor and Austin Barnes in May, then Clayton Kershaw retired after 18 seasons. Those were the three longest-tenured players on the team. So let’s look at the current roster and find the new deans. If we go […]
Dalton Rushing’s role heading into 2026
Dalton Rushing got his first taste of the major leagues last season, and all of its ups and downs. Now, he heads into potentially his first full season in the majors. As the backup to Will Smith, it’d be tough for anyone to find a rhythm at the plate playing once or twice per week […]
Every Dodgers prospect on or near top-100 lists
With actual (spring training) games about to start, all the major prospect lists entering 2026 are in, which allows us to form a consensus of sorts.

Brusdar Graterol will open season on injured list
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Brusdar Graterol pitch in an actual game.

What to expect from Teoscar Hernández in 2026?
Teoscar Hernández was a driving force in the Dodgers lineup in his first year in Los Angeles, in 2024, but last year struggled mightily.
