Dodgers on Deck: Saturday, September 5 vs. Nationals
The Dodgers and Nationals continue their weekend series on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. Tyler Glasnow is on the mound for the Dodgers, making his first home start since returning from the injured list. Right-hander Cade Cavalli starts for the Nationals. Saturday game info
Alert Blake Snell against power-hitting Nats
The Dodgers were one inning away from a deflating sweep at the hands of the Cards, but ifs don’t come into play. And thanks to Teoscar Hernández, the Dodgers now host the Nats with a lighter, freer mood, even more so since the Brewers lost to the Cubs last night. Settling in nicely since getting […]
Ohtani’s time as Clark Kent
On September 1, it was announced that Stan Kroenke would buy the Anaheim Angels from Arte Moreno for more than $4 billion, eclipsing the highest sale price for an MLB team, set recently by the San Diego Padres. The Angels deal is noteworthy because the team’s lease on the city-owned land runs through 2032. While […]
Emmet Sheehan, Joendry Vargas win monthly awards for August
Emmet Sheehan’s first outing of September will be with the Dodgers this weekend against the Washington Nationals. But that comes after a stellar August in Triple-A, and for his efforts on Thursday was named Pacific Coast League pitcher of the month. Another Dodgers minor leaguer, Class-A Ontario infielder Joendry Vargas, was named California League player […]
Dodgers minors: Kole Myers and Jake Gelof combine for a four-homer night
A full slate of games wasn’t in the cards, with the weather not cooperating out in Eastlake, Ohio, but there is still plenty to go through across all Dodger minor league affiliates. Player of the Day Although Jake Gelof had more RBI, it’d be unfair to separate him from Kole Myers in an outstanding win […]
Shohei Ohtani “questionable” to return to lineup Friday vs. Nationals
For the first eight innings of Thursday’s contest against the St. Louis Cardinals, the absence of Shohei Ohtani in the starting lineup was emphatically felt. Ohtani had went 0-4 with four strikeouts during Wednesday’s 8-6 extra-inning loss to St. Louis, and the Dodgers decided to give him the night off. Although the offense floundered throughout […]
Teoscar Hernández’s walk-off double sends Cardinals flying away
The Dodgers stared in the eyes of a third straight defeat, but a walk-off double by Teoscar Hernández lifted the Dodgers to a 3-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday. The Cardinals were the first to strike against Tarik Skubal, as after St. Louis put the first two men on with a pair […]

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 […]

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 […]
