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. After starting the All-Star Game, winning a Silver Slugger Award, and leading all National League outfielders in home runs (33) and RBI (99) with a 132 wRC+ in his first year […]
Yency Almonte back with Dodgers on minor league contract
Veteran reliever Yency Almonte is back with the Dodgers on a minor league contract, rejoining a team he pitched for in both 2022 and 2023. Fabian Ardaya at The Athletic reported the signing, and earlier Thursday morning Almonte himself posted a picture on Instagram of him holding a Dodgers cap in front of his locker […]
Dodgers notes: Dave Roberts, Christian Zazueta, Paul DePodesta
Ahead of the Dodgers’ first official workout on Tuesday, manager Dave Roberts delivered his annual opening address to the team. Included during the presentation was asking newcomers Kyle Tucker and Edwin Díaz why they chose the Dodgers. Well, besides the record-setting contracts both signed. From Alden González at ESPN: Their message, Roberts said, centered on […]
Shohei Ohtani will DH Dodgers first 2 spring games, Yoshinobu Yamamoto starts this weekend
The Dodgers open their Cactus League schedule this weekend with a pair of road games — Saturday against the Angels in Tempe, and Sunday vs. the Padres in Peoria. Shohei Ohtani will be in the lineup for each of the first two games, manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Wednesday at Camelback Ranch. Additionally, Yoshinobu […]
Are the Dodgers done adding players?
We are nearly at the point where we get to watch the Dodgers play actual games, with the exhibition slate starting this Saturday. Timelines over the last week-plus have been inundated with the sights and sounds from spring training, from backfield workouts to clubhouse speeches. The Dodgers already brought back two of the players most […]
Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Teoscar Hernández, Hyeseong Kim
The Galactic Empire of baseball has assembled at Camelback Ranch. Their first spring game is in just three days. The anticipation and excitement surrounding the start of the 2026 season is brewing. On Tuesday, both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani faced live hitters, and the latter’s arm will be preserved during the World Baseball Classic […]
Dodgers ring ceremony is March 27, Dontrelle Willis returns to SportsNet LA booth
In addition to announcing its spring training broadcast schedule, SportsNet LA on Tuesday announced the bulk of its broadcast plans for the regular season in 2026. With the Dodgers’ opening day battle against the Arizona Diamondbacks exclusively televised by NBC and streamed on Peacock, the first regular season game for SportsNet LA will be Friday, […]
Here Today, Gon-dola 2026: The Project limps on
Perhaps unsurprisingly, L.A. Metro voted to approve the L.A. Aerial Rapid Transit project, also known as the Dodgers Gondola project, after a rowdy meeting reminiscent of Parks and Recreation on December 3. Declarations from the uninformed aside, it was a bit of an ask for the agency working with Zero Emissions Transit, the non-profit running the Dodgers Gondola […]
What to expect from Andy Pages in 2026
The Dodgers lineup is formidable and deep, but is also aging. Kyle Tucker was the final piece of the puzzle added this offseason, notable both for his production (and contract, of course) and that he gives Los Angeles another hitter in his 20s, at least for 2026. The only other Dodgers regular on the right […]
Dodgers notes: Hyeseong Kim, Alex Freeland, Walker Buehler
With confirmation on Monday from manager Dave Roberts that Tommy Edman will begin the season on the injured list, naturally conversation turned to what is now an open competition in Dodgers camp for playing time at second base. Miguel Rojas will be in the mix, as will veteran Santiago Espinal, who signed a minor league […]
Dodgers have 5 prospects ranked in FanGraphs top 110
FanGraphs on Monday put out its top prospects in baseball, with five Dodgers ranked in the top 110 entering the 2026. Eric Longenhagen, Brendan Gawlowski, and James Fegan wrote up the prospects, a list that was expanded from 100 to 110 to account for the prospects with a Future Value rating of 50 (on the […]
Tommy Edman will start season on injured list, Dave Roberts says
We knew Tommy Edman was behind in spring training after undergoing right ankle surgery in November, and on Monday morning at Camelback Ranch, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts ruled out the utility man for opening day. Edman will begin the regular season on the injured list, per the many beat reporters on site in Arizona. From […]
Dodgers sign Santiago Espinal to minor league deal
The locker room at Camelback Ranch is quite spacious, but the Dodgers are testing its capacity this spring training. The latest addition is infielder Santiago Espinal, who was signed to a minor league contract with a non-roster invitation to spring training, per the various beat reporters on site in Arizona. Espinal makes 34 Dodgers non-roster […]
Dodgers spring training battles
After a busy Dodgers offseason, we have a pretty idea of what their roster will eventually look like. But the active roster over the 186 days of a major league regular season is an ever-changing organism. The Dodgers last year used 62 players, for instance, including 40 pitchers, both the most in franchise history. If […]
The many Dodgers contracts of Max Muncy
Since getting called up to the Dodgers in April 2018, Max Muncy has been a fixture in the Dodgers infield at three different positions, and has yet to reach free agency. The contract he signed Thursday — his fourth extension — keeps Muncy under contract through 2027 with another club option for 2028. Muncy has […]
Dodgers notes: Roki Sasaki, Evan Phillips, Manny Machado
After digesting that Ben Rortvedt will now join fellow former Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes, a non-roster invitee, in New York Mets spring training camp, here are more baseball stories to begin your week. Roki Sasaki faced hitters, including Hyeseong Kim, on Sunday at Camelback Ranch, as he begins building toward his second year in the […]
Mets claim Ben Rortvedt off waivers from Dodgers
The itinerant offseason of Ben Rortvedt continued on Sunday, as the catcher was claimed off waivers by the Mets, and a case of unfortunate timing for the Dodgers. After September injuries to both Will Smith and Dalton Rushing, the Dodgers liked trade deadline acquisition Rortvedt enough to start him 19 times in 25 games down […]
Dodgers & MLB history of going for 3 in a row
The Dodgers are in rarefied air in their long franchise history going into 2026, having won consecutive championships for the first time. What’s next on the checklist is trying to become the fifth MLB team to win at least three World Series in a row. MLB teams winning 3+ championships in a row The Yankees […]
Dodgers notes: Edwin Díaz, Brusdar Graterol, Yoshinobu Yamamoto
It’s here! It’s finally here! The Dodgers will be playing baseball in less than a week’s time. As the team begins to regroup at Camelback Ranch, old faces and new alike make their way into the clubhouse, and among the new faces to the Dodgers is Edwin Díaz. Díaz was the first major signing this […]
A Dodgers Valentine’s Day
It’s Valentine’s Day today, so I hope you will all spend your Saturday thinking about Bobby Valentine, who played for the Dodgers from 1969-72, or maybe 2005 third baseman and shortstop José Valentín, or perhaps Tom Lovett, a pitcher for Brooklyn in the 19th century. Or maybe Sandy Amorós can get you in the mood […]
Dodgers notes: Alex Vesia, Max Muncy, Anthony Banda
Alex Vesia threw a bullpen session as did many other Dodgers pitchers on the first official day of workouts at Camelback Ranch in Arizona. Then the veteran left-hander spoke to reporters en masse for the first time since the death of his newborn daughter Sterling in October. Vesia read a prepared statement for six minutes […]
Max Muncy climbing the Dodgers home run list
Max Muncy is one of the great success stories in Dodgers history. Signed to a minor league contract at age 26 after a pair of underwhelming seasons with the Oakland A’s, Muncy has been a productive member of a team that has won four pennants and three championships during his first eight years in Los […]
Clayton Kershaw overcoming the Woodruff ghost in 2018 NLCS Game 5
Clayton Kershaw, like the Dodgers team as a whole, took a step back in 2018, although they were both still good enough to accomplish similar goals. Kershaw delivered another sub-3.00 ERA, and the Dodgers saw their most difficult division title of this whole Andrew Friedman era come to pass, needing a Game 163 at home […]
Dodgers to open 2026 season with six-man rotation
The Dodgers didn’t do much at all to add to their starting rotation this offseason, and they didn’t need to. Boasting one of the most dominant pitching staffs in not just their own division, but all of baseball, the Dodgers enter the 2026 season with a plethora of rotational options. The quartet of All-Stars is […]
Dodgers sign Keston Hiura to minor league deal, per reports
On a busy transactional day that saw the Dodgers bring back utility man Kiké Hernández and extend third baseman Max Muncy, they also have signed infielder Keston Hiura to a minor league contract, per multiple reports. Hiura will receive a non-roster invitation to big league camp, per both Jon Heyman of the New York Post […]
