Dodgers & Braves are good at the same time again
The Dodgers and Braves had a nice little October tradition going recently, having met in three playoff series in a four-year span. But the last four seasons they haven’t been able to recreate the matchup. This year, Atlanta owns the best record in baseball heading into this weekend’s matchup at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers beat […]
It’s Not My Money(ball) 2026: Gambling in All But Name
In 2022, the “It’s Not My Money(ball)” series was created in response to the owners’ lockout, which disrupted that year’s Spring Training and arguably cost Clayton Kershaw a perfect game in Minneapolis (I had fun). As the season completes its first month, the World Baseball Classic now a memory, we must conclude the revival of […]
Dodgers minors: James Tibbs III leads Comets to a dozen runs
Three wins and a postponement. Not bad for a day’s work in the Dodgers’ minor league system, with the Comets now moving to a record above .500, earning their 18th win of the year in 35 games. Player of the day Right at the core of a terrific team performance on the offensive side of […]
Dodgers have happy flight home after offensive explosion and good news about Tyler Glasnow
The Los Angeles Dodgers finished their road trip at .500, and are exhaling in a multitude of ways. The most immediate concern was for their starting pitcher, Tyler Glasnow, who exited Wednesday’s matinee game against the Houston Astros just after taking the mound to warm up for the second inning. Initial news was that it […]
Andy Pages homers 3 times, Dodgers bullpen wraps up rout of Astros
Tyler Glasnow left his start after only one inning, but the Dodgers’ struggling offense picked up the slack in a cathartic 12-2 bludgeoning of the Houston Astros on Wednesday afternoon getaway day at Daikin Park in Houston. Held to only one run in Tuesday night’s loss, the Dodgers were just 2-3 on the road trip, […]
Tyler Glasnow exits start with lower back pain
Tyler Glasnow left his start on Wednesday afternoon against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park after only one inning, with the Dodgers right-hander suffering lower back pain per an announcement from the team.

Dodgers on Deck: Friday, May 8 vs. Braves
The Dodgers haven’t had a good road trip since the first week of April. But after their malaise through St. Louis and Houston, the Dodgers will return home to Los Angeles with a tall task at hand — facing the Atlanta Braves, owners of the best record in baseball, at 26-11 through Tuesday. Emmet Sheehan […]
Dodgers activate Brock Stewart, option Jake Eder
The first of the 10 Dodgers to open the season on the injured list has been activated, with reliever Brock Stewart joining the team in Houston on Wednesday ahead of the series finale against the Astros at Daikin Park.

Dodgers minors: Tillero and Tower Buzzers shut out Quakes
In the first of two straight days with only three games across the Dodgers’ four minor league affiliates due to postponements, only the Ontario Tower Buzzers came out on the winning end of their matchup. Player of the day It’s only natural that the choice for player of the day would come from the Ontario […]
Shohei Ohtani is dazzling on the mound, but not so much at the plate
We are now over a month into the first season of what Shohei Ohtani can do on both sides of the field throughout the whole year as a Dodger. Ohtani is seemingly back to his pre-injury, Cy Young award contending form on the mound, as he’s coming off a dominant month of April where he […]
Shohei Ohtani’s longest Dodgers pitching start wasted in loss to Astros
Shohei Ohtani pitched his deepest into a game in three seasons, but got very little offensive support in the Dodgers’ 2-1 loss to the Houston Astros on Tuesday night at Daikin Park. Ohtani was efficient on the mound with eight strikeouts and no walks. Not only did he record an out in the seventh inning […]
Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, May 6 at Astros
The Dodgers conclude their road trip with a daytime start against the Houston Astros on Wednesday at Daikin Park. This will be the third consecutive daytime getaway day start for Tyler Glasnow, who led the Dodgers in strikeouts (47) and innings (38 2/3) through the end of April. He has a 1.83 ERA and 37-percent […]
Kiké Hernández starts rehab with Triple-A Oklahoma City
Triple-A Oklahoma City has been a busy place for Dodgers on the mend for the past few weeks, with rehab assignments piling up over the last few days. Utility man Kiké Hernández is the latest to work his way back with the Comets, starting a rehab assignment on Tuesday night. Hernández on Tuesday started and […]

Patrick Copen wins Texas League pitcher of month for April
Dodgers minor league right-hander Patrick Copen had a strong 2025 season, and started his 2026 season on a heater. On Tuesday, Copen was named Texas League pitcher of the month for April after a strong start for Double-A Tulsa. Copen had a 0.96 ERA, 2.72 FIP, and 3.69 xFIP in five starts for the Drillers, […]
Dodgers starting pitchers providing length
The National League pitcher of the month for March/April, who walked twice, drove in a run and scored a pair of runs as a hitter in Monday’s series opener at Daikin Park, makes his first pitching start of May on Tuesday night against the Houston Astros. Shohei Ohtani has allowed only four runs to date […]
Which Dodgers reliever is headed back to Triple-A?
Brock Stewart rejoined the Dodgers in Houston after his three weeks on a minor league rehab assignment. He did not get activated Monday, after pitching on Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but will likely end his injured-list stint at some point during this series against the Astros. That means one pitcher will be optioned to […]
Mike Sirota wins Midwest League player of the week
Exactly one Dodgers minor leaguer won a player or pitcher of the week award in each week of the 2026 season to date. For the week of April 27-May 3, High-A Great Lakes outfielder Mike Sirota was named Midwest League player of the week after running roughshod over Peoria. Sirota had a three-homer doubleheader last […]
Homer drought no more—Dodgers thump Astros
The home run drought is over, and it only took facing one of the shakiest pitching staffs in baseball for it to happen, as the Dodgers thoroughly outhit Houston in an 8-3 win. It was a win with the particularly sweet taste of seeing Kyle Tucker leave the yard in his old stomping grounds, hitting […]

Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, May 5 at Astros
Shohei Ohtani was thought to be back pulling double duty on Tuesday night against the Houston Astros, both starting on the mound at Daikin Park and serving as the designated hitter. He didn’t bat in two of his first five pitching starts, including last Tuesday, as the Dodgers try to find avenues of rest whenever […]
Dodgers offense faces a vulnerable Astros bullpen
The Dodgers managed to avoid a sweep against the Cardinals with a win on Sunday, facing a familiar face in Dustin May, but overall, the offense won’t have fond memories of their time in St. Louis, averaging 2.33 runs a game. For the second week in a row, Yoshinobu Yamamoto will face a favorable matchup […]
Who will hit the Dodgers’ next home run?
The Dodgers’ last home run came on April 26 against the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium, a seventh-inning blast by Shohei Ohtani that snapped his own string of 59 plate appearances without a long ball. The Dodgers have batted 232 times since then without another home run. Their last six full games with no home […]
Shohei Ohtani wins NL pitcher of month for April
Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani has six player of the month honors in his career, but on Monday he won his first career pitcher of the month award, taking home top National League honors for his excellent mound work in March and April.
