When the Dodgers landed lefty Tanner Scott, they assumed that he would take over in full force as the team’s closer. Instead, the former All-Star blew 10 saves, put up an ERA of 4.74 and produced negative value in terms of both rWAR and fWAR. There’s still $40.25 million that Scott will receive over the […]

Landon Knack’s second major league season saw rougher terrain as he slid further down the Dodgers depth chart, and regression on the mound.

The series against the Dodgers ended in defeat, Orion Kerkering literally throwing away any chance the Phillies had at bringing the series back to Philadelphia for a fifth and deciding game.

Kiké Hernández nearly had his second half of the season wiped out due to an elbow injury, but he managed to stick around until the very end, adding another incredible postseason highlight to his already impressive resume. Hernández was coming off of another subpar offensive season in 2024, but took over as the primary third […]

Earlier in the season it looked like the Dodgers would smash their own franchise record of 40 pitchers used, set one year prior in 2024.

Jack Little’s long road finally reached the majors this season, though his time with the Dodgers was brief, at least in Los Angeles. The Dodgers drafted Little out of Stanford in the fifth round in 2019, and like many prospects had nowhere to play in 2020 with no minor league season that year. Then came […]

The Dodgers acquired quite a few speedy outfielders who saw time in Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2025. Esteury Ruiz and Justin Dean saw time in the majors, with Dean carving out a highly-specialized nearly daily role in the postseason. Hyeseong Kim technically counts, though most of his time came in the infield in addition to […]

Man, why do injuries have to happen? It’s hard to say whether or not Wheeler’s injury and whether or not it would have happened would have affected the series against the Dodgers, but boy. It really did not help them. 2025 stats 24 G (24 GS), 149 1/3 IP, 2.71 ERA (3.00 FIP), 1.14 HR/9, […]
