Blake Snell labors through fourth rehab start

Blake Snell took another step toward rejoining the Dodgers starting rotation on Tuesday night, pitching 3 2/3 innings in his fourth and potentially final minor league rehab start, this time for Triple-A Oklahoma City on the road to face the Salt Lake Bees, and Angels affiliate. This was a labored effort for Snell, who allowed […]

Dodgers at Cubs game chat

Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, August 5 at Cubs

The Dodgers conclude their series a Wrigley Field with a day game on Wednesday afternoon against the Cubs in Chicago.

Every Dodgers pitcher used in 2026

The Los Angeles Dodgers set a franchise record by using 40 different pitchers in 2024, then did it again in 2025. This was after using 39 pitchers in both 2021 and 2023. Here are all the pitchers who appeared in a game for the Dodgers in 2026, starting with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on opening day through […]

Dodgers activate Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia

Both Will Smith and Dalton Rushing are on the injured list, and Ben Rortvedt has come to the Dodgers rescue yet again, this time from not only off the 40-man roster but also from a different team. One day after the Dodgers’ acquired Rortvedt from the New York Mets, they selected him to the major […]

Dodgers try to wake up from Wrigley Field nightmares

The Dodgers turn to Tarik Skubal on Tuesday night, looking for something they haven’t gotten a Wrigley Field in a long time — actual run prevention. The Dodgers have lost five of their last six games at the unfriendly confines in Chicago, dating back to the start of 2024. Monday night’s 10-5 drubbing was more […]

Tyler Glasnow throws 2 scoreless innings in first rehab start

Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow pitched in a game for the first time in 80 days on Tuesday, starting a minor league rehab assignment with the Class-A Ontario Tower Buzzers. Glasnow struck out one in two scoreless innings to open what figures to be a lengthy rehab assignment and a hopeful September return to Los Angeles. […]

Tarik Skubal & other Dodgers number 29s

Jonathan Hernández pitched the final two innings of the Dodgers’ loss on Monday night at Wrigley Field, the eighth time in 13 appearances this year he’s finished off a game, most of them lopsided scores. What was notable was Hernández wearing number 26 on Monday, after getting called back up from Triple-A Oklahoma City. That […]

Dodgers trade deadline strengthened October starting rotation

The Dodgers entered the 2026 season with ambitions of becoming team to three-peat in 26 years. Following Monday’s trade deadline, they echoed that sentiment with a summer blockbuster and an encore. Their string of deals began late Saturday night, as after suffering a 3-2 loss to the Boston Red Sox, they struck a deal that […]

Hyun-Seok Jang wins Midwest League pitcher of week after High-A debut

Dodgers minor league pitcher Hyun-Seok Jang was dominant in his High-A debut last Thursday for the Great Lakes Loons, and for his efforts the 22-year-old right-hander was named Midwest League pitcher of the week after his very first game at the level. Jang last Thursday allowed only a double and two singles in his six […]

Tarik Skubal on his new team: ‘The Dodgers do all the right things’

New Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal met with reporters on Monday at Wrigley Field in Chicago, one day after he was acquired as the showcase piece of this year’s trade deadline, and one day before the left-hander makes his pitching debut with his new team. From Fabian Ardaya at The Athletic: “Every team could trade for […]

Déjà vu for Justin Wrobleski in homer-filled loss to the Cubs

You may never know in Wrigley, but that doesn’t mean you don’t know early on. And here that was the case with the ball flying out of the yard right from the get-go in a 10 to 5 defeat against the Cubs, with the Dodgers outmatched offensively. The first inning alone saw five runs cross […]

Dalton Rushing to injured list, Emmet Sheehan optioned to Triple-A

The superteam Dodgers continue to draw ire for their largesse, including adding Tarik Skubal to their already deep rotation. But perhaps as an olive branch, they sometimes show their frailty as well. Dalton Rushing’s arm irritation that got him scratched from Sunday’s start is now right elbow inflammation that landed the catcher on the injured […]

Dodgers trade deadline is marked by optimizing resources

Better positioned to attack the market than any other club, the Dodgers were aggressive at this year’s deadline. Contextualizing for the position they were in, what they set out to accomplish, and what it took to get there, it’s inevitable to conclude it was a successful deadline for the reigning back-to-back champs, worthy of an […]

Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, August 4 at Cubs

Tarik Skubal will make his Dodgers debut on Tuesday night against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. It will be the first career start for the two-time Cy Young Award winner at the friendly confines in Chicago. The Dodgers on Sunday acquired Skubal from the Detroit Tigers for River Ryan, Zyhir Hope, and Brady Smith. […]

Dodgers re-acquire Hunter Feduccia from Rays

The Dodgers catcher reunion tour added a new feature on Monday. Hours after getting Ben Rortvedt from the New York Mets, the Dodgers also acquired Hunter Feduccia from the Tampa Bay Rays for minor league outfielder Jack Suwinski. Also in the trade are the Dodgers getting minor league right-hander Jacob Kmatz, a fifth-rounder from 2024 […]

Dodgers acquire Kris Bubic from Royals for Carlos Durán

The Dodgers already acquired one left-handed starting pitcher before the trade deadline in Tarik Skubal. On Monday they added another, though in a different state of readiness. Kris Bubic was acquired from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for right-hander Carlos Durán. Bubic had a 4.11 ERA and 4.53 xERA in nine starts this season […]

Facing a fourth straight lefty starter visiting the Cubs

It’s a brand new day, and yet another left-hander stands in the way of the Dodgers’ offense, landing in Chicago to face the contending Cubs in what could easily be a playoff preview. On the subject of left-handed pitchers, both teams better be prepared for them, with five of the projected six starters in this […]

A memorable Max Muncy home run at Dodger Stadium

LOS ANGELES — Max Muncy homered once during the Dodgers’ homestand last week, and his home run last Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners tied Eric Karros for most regular season home runs in Dodger Stadium history. Muncy and Karros each hit 130 regular season homers at Chavez Ravine, but if you factor in postseason home […]

Dodgers acquire catcher Ben Rortvedt yet again

For the third time in about one year, the Dodgers have acquired catcher Ben Rortvedt. This time the security blanket comes home courtesy of the New York Mets, per multiple reports, with pitcher Chayce McDermott headed to New York three days after getting designated for assignment. Rortvedt is hitting .235/.319/.414 with eight doubles, six home […]

Dodgers Week 19: At least Tarik Skubal is here

The Dodgers last week beat the Mariners in two out of three games, securing a fourth consecutive series win out of the All-Star break. But then they got swept and outplayed at home by the Red Sox. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the poor weekend on Sunday, but through the lens of someone who just welcomed […]

Easton Shelton continues home run barrage for Ontario

A busy Sunday in the Dodgers minor leagues. Player of the day Ontario first baseman Easton Shelton continued to run roughshod through the California League, with another three-run home run on Sunday, to go along with two walks and a single. Shelton leads the Cal League with 32 home runs, tied for second-most among all […]

Andrew Friedman on Tarik Skubal trade: ‘There’s nothing that we did that no one else couldn’t have done’

Once this offseason comes and the collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1, there will be a lockout in Major League Baseball. Owners will use the Dodgers’ spending and winning as a cudgel to try to advance their proposals. Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman pushed back against criticism of the team’s latest move, […]

Red Sox blast four home runs to complete sweep of Dodgers

The hottest team in baseball stays sizzling, as the Boston Red Sox crushed four home runs against the Dodgers on Sunday, winning 8-4 and completing the sweep. It was another rough first inning for Emmet Sheehan, as he allowed a leadoff walk to Nick Sogard to begin the game. After getting Ceddanne Rafeala to ground […]
