Latest news and updates about the Dodgers
The Dodgers finish off their stretch of 13 game days in a row with a rare weekday daytime start at Dodger Stadium, hosting the Miami Marlins on getaway day Wednesday in Los Angeles. Tyler Glasnow takes the ball for the Dodgers in the homestand finale, coming off nine strikeouts in eight scoreless innings, the latter […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are collecting as many Fitzgeralds as possible for their Triple-A Oklahoma City roster. On Tuesday they acquired infielder Tyler Fitzgerald from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations. The Dodgers also have Ryan Fitzgerald, who was acquired via waivers in January 9 and later sent outright off the 40-man roster. […]
Shohei Ohtani snapped the longest home run drought of his Dodgers tenure in a three-hit game on Sunday, and collected three more hits, including an RBI double in the ninth on Monday to help set up Kyle Tucker’s walk-off winner. Ohtani has reached base nine times in his last 14 plate plate appearances over the […]
Monday night against the Miami Marlins came awfully close to a series-opening loss for the Dodgers, trailing by two runs since the fifth inning before three walks, a ground-rule double and Kyle Tucker’s walk-off two-run single delivered the 5-4 win in the ninth. Instead of losing their 10th game of the season, the Dodgers won […]
A Dodgers minor leaguer has won a weekly award in each of the first four weeks of the 2026 season. The latest honoree is Double-A Tulsa pitcher Patrick Copen, who on Monday captured Texas League pitcher of the week honors for the week of April 20-26. The 6’6 right-hander struck out nine in 6 1/3 […]
Edwin Díaz spoke with reporters on Monday, for the first time since his arthroscopic surgery last Wednesday, including optimism that there was no ligament damage in his right elbow. From Fabian Ardaya at The Athletic: Díaz said he has had loose bodies that have shown up in MRIs dating back as far as 2012, when […]
The Dodgers and the Marlins meet for the first time in 2026. Monday’s game info
The Dodgers continue their series against the Miami Marlins with the middle game on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Shohei Ohtani takes the mound on Tuesday, needing six more innings to get back on the ERA leaderboard for at least another day. The Dodgers mulled flipping Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow in the […]
The Cubs had a 5-2 week, which on its face is excellent. The way it ended, with two losses to the Dodgers after sweeping the Phillies and mounting a stirring comeback Friday in Los Angeles, wasn’t great. But this team is still showing that it can compete with anyone, even with multiple bullpen injuries. Here’s […]
It took a weekend rally, but the Dodgers continued their streaks of winning weeks to open the season. They bookended the week with blowout wins, but in between saw the offense disappear, losing a series in San Francisco. Winning the last two games against the Cubs gave the Dodgers a 4-3 week. Newly-signed closer Edwin […]
Brock Stewart pitched in his fifth minor league rehab game and third for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. He threw a perfect third inning with a popout and two strikeouts. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts over the weekend said Stewart will pitch on back-to-back days at some point this coming week, and then the Dodgers will […]
I don’t want to be too hasty, but I think this Shohei Ohtani kid is going to be pretty good and these Dodgers aren’t bad. It’s always great to catch a legendary player at the tail end of a cooler. He woke up over the weekend and had a very productive couple of games at […]
LOS ANGELES — Dodgers catcher Will Smith did not start either of the final two games of the weekend series against the Chicago Cubs, while dealing with back tightness. “He could play if he needed to, but we felt it was smart to give him an extra day, and I guess put him into the […]
Divisional battles highlighted the week in the National League West. The San Francisco Giants took two of three games against at home the Dodgers, a series in which runs were at a premium, with 10 runs total between the two teams and two shutouts, nobody scoring more than three in any contest. Dalton Rushing was […]
This series wasn’t going to be easy, we all knew that before it began. And when Shōta Imanaga had a 32-pitch first inning in which he allowed a pair of walks and three runs, that made the Cubs’ task that much more difficult. That, and the fact that the Cubs again had RISP issues, going […]
The Dodgers took the three-game series from the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, as Justin Wrobleski and the bullpen held the Cubs silent in a 6-0 shutout win. For a second straight game, Nico Hoerner led off the game with a base hit, and the Cubs put two men on with only one out against Wrobleski. […]
Go get ‘em, Shōta.
Looking to take two of three, the Dodgers host the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Justin Wrobleski faces Shota Imanaga. SUNDAY GAME INFO
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers plan to start Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, and Tyler Glasnow in that order for their three-game series against the Miami Marlins beginning Monday night at Dodger Stadium. That really isn’t news, except that they could have pushed Ohtani to Wednesday’s series finale, which would line up him to start two […]
The Dodgers continue their homestand by welcoming the Miami Marlins to town beginning Monday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has five quality starts in five tries this season, with a 2.48 ERA and 3.63 xERA, but only has two wins, thanks to getting exactly one run of support in three of […]
Roster moves (Bluesky link): Sunday notes… The Cubs lineup was not available at posting time. Please check BCB social media for the Cubs lineup. Dodgers lineup: Shōta Imanaga, LHP vs. Justin Wrobleski, LHP After a somewhat rough first start this year, Shōta Imanaga has been just magnificent over his last four outings: 1.13 ERA, 0.542 […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 28 Dodgers 6, Cubs 0: It just wasn’t Shōta Imanaga’s day Cubs vs. Dodgers, Sunday 4/26, 3:10 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Los Angeles Dodgers preview, Sunday 4/26, 3:10 CT
I find it appropriate to start out by hat tipping the Dodgers offense. They curb stomped Colin Rea and Javier Assad in this one. A further hat tip to four Dodger relievers who combined to allow just two hits and a walk over the final four innings of the game. The Dodgers offense and bullpen […]
Two Dodgers minor league outfielders had monster games to highlight Saturday action on the farm. Player of the day One day after hitting his first professional home run, Ontario outfielder AJ Soldra hit two more on Saturday in San Jose, and he tripled in a three-hit, three-RBI, three-run game. Soldra, drafted in the 16th round […]
One thing that is absolutely, undeniably true about sports is that all winning streaks must end, sometime. Thus we knew that eventually, the Cubs would lose another game after going on their longest winning streak since the World Series year of 2016. It’s not always pretty when winning streaks end and that was the case […]
