Dodgers promote Mike Sirota to Double-A Tulsa
The Tulsa Drillers outfield now has three top-100 prospects, with the Dodgers promoting Mike Sirota to Double-A after he romped through the Midwest League with High-A Great Lakes. Sirota hit .325/.478/.602 with seven home runs, 11 doubles, and a triple, with 37 runs scored, 22 RBI, and eight steals in 35 games for the Loons. […]
Dodgers promote Emil Morales to High-A Great Lakes
The Great Lakes Loons made official on Tuesday what was first reported on Sunday, that infielder Emil Morales was promoted to High-A. He’s batting cleanup and playing shortstop in his Loons debut on Tuesday. Morales, who turns 20 in September, joins fellow top-100 prospects Josue De Paula (start of 2025) and Eduardo Quintero (last July) […]
Dodgers’ Alex Freeland, Isaac Ayon win minor league weekly honors
Last Monday, Alex Freeland was the odd man out in the Dodgers infield when Mookie Betts was activated off the injured list. Freeland was optioned to Triple-A, but made the most of things with Oklahoma City, winning Pacific Coast League player of the week in his first week back in the minors. The switch-hitting Freeland […]
Dodgers notes: Blake Snell surgery timetable, Eric Lauer’s role
Blake Snell will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his left elbow on Tuesday in Los Angeles. Whether his return is expected to be about three months, like closer Edwin Díaz, or perhaps a shorter timetable depends on what Dr. Neal ElAttrache finds during the procedure. A potential example of the shorter timeline […]
King beats Yamamoto in an old-fashioned pitchers’ duel
Who would have thought that when Miguel Andujar scored a run in the first on a solo homer, he’d be scoring the only one in this game as the Padres won it 1-0? Seldom throughout the course of the 2026 season did Yoshinobu Yamamoto find an opponent capable and effective in going toe-to-toe with him […]

Dodgers sign Jonathan Hernández for bullpen depth
The Dodgers pitching turnover the last two weeks has been quite heavy, continuing Monday with the signing of right-hander Jonathan Hernández to a major league deal ahead of their series against the San Diego Padres.

Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, May 19 at Padres
Emmet Sheehan will do something no Dodgers pitcher has done yet in 2026 on Tuesday night against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Sheehan will start on four days rest.

Orioles claim Michael Siani off waivers from Dodgers
The many travels of Michael Siani continued on Monday, with the outfielder claimed by the Baltimore Orioles off waivers from the Dodgers. He’ll start off with his new organization in Triple-A Norfolk. Siani was designated for assignment last Tuesday when the Dodgers traded for another defense-forward outfielder in Alek Thomas. In 29 games for Triple-A […]
Dodgers, Padres start NL West showdown
For the first time this season, the Dodgers and the Padres will meet in their fight for NL West supremacy.

Dodgers pitcher count continues to rise
In the last eight days, three different pitchers made their Dodgers debut. On May 10, Wyatt Mills appeared in his first major league game since 2022, and pitched thrice more since. Charlie Barnes was called up Friday, pitched in two games in his two days, then was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday. Chayce McDermott closed […]
Dodgers Week 8: Shohei Ohtani rests, then shines in winning streak
The Dodgers last week lost Blake Snell to the injured list, with the left-hander set for surgery this Tuesday to remove loose bodies in his left elbow. This came after Tyler Glasnow was sidelined the week before with back spasms. Losses on the field mounted too, including Monday and Tuesday to the San Francisco Giants, […]
Zyhir Hope homers twice for Tulsa, OKC romps in Albuquerque
All four Dodgers minor league affiliates won on Saturday, with offense driving the show. Player of the day Zyhir Hope hit a pair of two-run home runs in Tulsa’s win, giving him three home runs over the last two days. It’s the third career two-homer game for Hope, who this week in MLB Pipeline’s updated […]
Dodgers notes: Roki Sasaki, Eric Lauer, Ross Stripling
Roki Sasaki had his best MLB start to date on Sunday, issuing no walks and striking out eight in seven innings to beat the Angels in Anaheim, allowing just one run along the way. Sasaki has tinkered with his pitch mix this season, adding a faster version of his split-fingered fastball while also throwing a […]
National League West report: Feasting on American League
Last week saw to divisional matchups in the National League West, and NL West teams lost the two series against other NL teams outside the division. The San Diego Padres dropped two of three against the Milwaukee Brewers, and the Colorado Rockies lost two out of three against the Pittsburgh Pirates. But the division mostly […]

The Dodgers once again took the first lead, as after […]
Dodgers on Deck: Monday, May 18 at Padres

Dodgers trade for Eric Lauer
With Blake Snell having elbow surgery on Tuesday, Tyler Glasnow on the injured list with back spasms, and River Ryan only one start back from a minor league injured list stint, the Dodgers had five starting pitchers for their six-man rotation. So it makes perfect sense that they acquired left-hander Eric Lauer from the Toronto […]
Jack Dreyer on injured list, Dodgers call up Chayce McDermott & Paul Gervase
A bullpen refresh was inevitable heading into the Dodgers series finale against the Angels in Anaheim, after using eight pitchers to cover all nine innings on Friday. But there’s also another injury afoot, with Jack Dreyer placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder discomfort. The Dodgers called up both Chayce McDermott, who was […]
Alex Freeland homers twice, Ryder Ryan returns for Oklahoma City
All four Dodgers minor league affiliates won on Saturday. Player of the day Alex Freeland homered for a second straight day, and liked it so much he did it twice on Saturday. After Friday’s homer was hit from the right side, Freeland on Saturday homered twice while batting left-handed, and also singled. Freeland scored three […]
Blake Snell to undergo elbow surgery on Tuesday
Blake Snell’s return from injury lasted just six days as the left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start on Friday. It was revealed that Snell had loose bodies in his left elbow— the same issue with Edwin Díaz— and was placed on the 15-day IL. He will undergo elbow surgery on Tuesday, with Dr. Neal […]
Dodgers walk all over Angels for 4th straight win
The sixth inning was the key to the Dodgers’ 15-2 win over the Angels on Saturday night.
