Dodgers on Deck: Friday, September 4 vs. Nationals
The Dodgers’ nine-game homestand continues with the middle series of the residency, hosting the Washington Nationals beginning Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Blake Snell starts the opener on Friday, with fellow left-hander Jackson Kent on the mound for Washington. Snell is making his fifth start since returning from the injured list, while Kent is making […]
Dodgers playing against the Cards they were dealt
Taking into account what happened in the first two games of this series against the Cardinals, carrying a certain pessimism into the final game of this series would be reasonable. Depending on the outcome of this matchup, this could qualify as the most frustrating series of the year—once being blown out and a second time […]
Dodgers minors: Emil boosts Morales with a career-high five-hit game
At one point, leading by a dozen runs in what was a blowout win over the Captains, the Loons had a magnificent day at the plate, which naturally included our Player of the Day. Player of the Day Even in the middle of an outstanding campaign, Emil Morales had an individual performance that stood out, […]
Dodgers follow clunker with an extra-frustrating loss
The Dodgers scored three runs but couldn’t cash in more in the first inning, then failed to capitalize on several scoring chances. They blew a late lead after Yoshinobu Yamamoto flirted with a no-hitter in his first start of September for the second season in a row. That helped get the game to extras, and […]

Blake Treinen activated, Eric Lauer to injured list
LOS ANGELES — One day after allowing seven runs in three innings in his worst start with the Dodgers, Eric Lauer was placed on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation. That opened an active roster spot for Blake Treinen to be activated from the 60-day injured list. Treinen pitched in seven games on […]
Dodgers on Deck: Thursday, September 3 vs. Cardinals
The Dodgers finish off their home series against the St. Louis Cardinals with Tarik Skubal on the mound on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium. Skubal in his first month with the Dodgers had a 3.00 ERA in five starts and 30 innings, with 37 strikeouts (a 30.6-percent strikeout rate) against only seven walks, and two […]
Yoshinobu Yamamoto hoping offense shows against Cardinals
The Dodgers offense showed up finally on Tuesday night, but eight runs were not enough to overcome the terrible pitching performances by Eric Lauer and those that followed him. If the Dodgers muster even half of that on Wednesday, they should be in pretty good position as Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound. In his last […]
Emil Morales & recent history of Dodgers minor league 100-RBI seasons
This is the final week of the regular season for both Class-A and High-A, and both Great Lakes and Ontario have a pair of standout players in one specific area. Shortstop Emil Morales began the season in Ontario before getting promoted to Great Lakes in May, and he hasn’t stopped hitting. Morales has rocketed up […]
Dodgers’ John Shoemaker will manage in Arizona Fall League
LOS ANGELES — John Shoemaker is in his sixth straight year managing the Dodgers’ Class-A affiliate and his first year in Ontario after the previous five campaigns with Rancho Cucamonga. He’ll be at Dodger Stadium on Friday night as part of the annual celebration of longtime employees in the organization. This is Shoemaker’s 50th year […]
Dodgers minors: Adam Serwinowski delivers his longest outing as a pro
Tightly contested games across the board, including disappointing defensive efforts from both the Loons and Tower Buzzers, stood out on the first day of September. Player of the day It’s not every day you see a pitcher covering eight innings in the minor leagues; it’s not every day you see that anywhere, and Adam Serwinowski […]
Dodgers notes: Will Smith, Shohei Ohtani, Eric Lauer
For the first time in nearly three whole months, Will Smith was back in the starting lineup for the start of the Dodgers’ nine-game homestand on Tuesday. Smith finished the game going 1-5 with a double and two RBI on Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals, but his impact could only bring so much to […]
Cardinals fly to unforeseen heights at the expense of the Dodgers
Outhomering the Dodgers five to zip, the Cardinals had no trouble controlling this game right from the jump in a 13-8 blowout win. For the first time since joining the Dodgers, Eric Lauer delivered a bad enough start at home that helps illustrate why he was available in the first place, ready to be scooped […]
Dodgers vs. Cardinals: game chat
Will Smith slots into the fifth spot in the lineup in his first game back as the Dodgers welcome the Cardinals into town. Tuesday’s game info
Blake Treinen back ‘very soon,’ Dodgers will call up 6th starter vs. Nationals
LOS ANGELES — Blake Treinen was at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, though wasn’t activated once active roster limits expanded on September 1. The veteran right-hander checked off the usual late-stage boxes for rehabbing relievers in the last week with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Treinen pitched back-to-back outings last Wednesday and Thursday, then on Sunday pitched in […]
Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, September 2 vs. Cardinals
The Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals continue their series on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for Los Angeles. Yamamoto has allowed 10 total runs over his last seven starts. The Dodgers have scored three or fewer runs in five of his last six home starts, with the Dodgers just […]
Dodgers notes: Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Teoscar Hernández
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers did not call up an outfielder among their September call ups despite their current group being among the least productive in the sport. They did however activate two catchers, one who isn’t expected to catch, and infielder Alex Freeland. Freeland plays second base on Tuesday night against the St. Louis […]
Dodgers activate Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Justin Wrobleski, call up Alex Freeland
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Tuesday activated catcher Will Smith off the 60-day injured list, ending his three-month stint with neck inflammation. They also activated catcher Dalton Rushing and pitcher Justin Wrobleski from the injured list, and called up infielder Alex Freeland on the first day active roster limits expand from 26 players and […]
The start of the homestand is marked by Will Smith’s return
As the Cardinals and their reasonably solid road record (34-32) head to Dodger Stadium, the reigning back-to-back champs are excited by the return of one of their key players, Will Smith. Out since early June with neck inflammation, Smith is finally ready to go and should slot right back into the middle of the batting […]
Dodgers trade José Rodríguez to Blue Jays for pitcher Sebastian Rodríguez
The Dodgers on Tuesday made a minor trade, sending Triple-A right-hander José Rodríguez to the Toronto Blue Jays for minor league pitcher Sebastian Rodríguez. I know what you’re thinking — maybe the various minor league affiliates the 25-year-old José Rodríguez pitched at might still have some old Rodríguez jerseys lying around. But the 20-year-old Sebastian […]
Things to overreact to after 137 games of the 2026 season
Fun fact: there are only 25 regular-season games left in 2026. Accordingly, we can finally start writing the obituary for the campaign. Note that I did not say “title defense,” as, barring a statistically improbable series of events, the Los Angeles Dodgers will make the 2026 tournament. How many? Eight or more, at bare minimum. […]
What catchers Hunter Feduccia & Ben Rortvedt provided in August
The Dodgers will get Will Smith back on Tuesday, activated off the 60-day injured list after missing almost three months with neck inflammation. That’s nearly half a season without a three-time All-Star, a middle-of-the-lineup staple of three different championship teams in Los Angeles. Getting Smith back at anywhere near his established norms will be a […]
Dodgers minor league postseason scenarios
It’s not just the final month of the regular season for the Dodgers, but September also marks the end of the minor league campaign as well. There is one week left in the seasons of both Class-A and High-A, and two weeks left in Double-A. Triple-A ends its regular season on September 20, one week […]
Should Dodgers fans expect more from the offense?
As the dog days of August turn into September, the Los Angeles Dodgers hope to turn the rough patch that they’ve gone through around and finally start scoring again. This is the third year in a row that the Dodgers have gone through a slide like this, something that Bill Plunkett of the OC Register […]
