Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, June 23 at Twins

The Dodgers and Minnesota Twins continue their series on Tuesday night at Target Field in Minneapolis. Justin Wrobleski takes the ball for the Dodgers. Twins ace Joe Ryan was originally scheduled to be on the mound for the home team, but he is out sick and left-hander Kendry Rojas will start instead. Tuesday’s game will […]

Dodgers have yet to lose with Eric Lauer on the mound

Four games and four wins. That’s the track record of today’s starter for the Dodgers, Eric Lauer, as he gets ready to face the Twins in a second straight appearance against an American League team. The Dodgers knew exactly what they were getting after acquiring Lauer a little more than a month ago, and they […]

Dodgers Week 13: One-run wins, one bad loss

The Dodgers won four one-run games in a row last week against the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles, their longest such streak since 2010. Then they lost a one-run game on Saturday before turning in a clunker, a 12-1 loss on Sunday. That’s still a 4-2 week, but the two losses represented the first […]

Dodgers minors: Chris Newell, Brooks Auger shine on Sunday

Three out of four Dodgers minor league affiliates won on Sunday. Player of the day Chris Newell had two singles in his last 30 at-bats before hitting two home runs to deliver a win on Saturday. Then the Tulsa outfielder hit two more home runs on Sunday, part of a three-hit day that also included […]

Dodgers routed by Orioles, suffer first losing streak in over a month

After five consecutive one-run games, the Dodgers on Sunday closed out the homestand with a literal one-run game on offense. Unfortunately for them, the Baltimore Orioles scored a dozen runs, romping through Los Angeles in a 12-1 victory. Emmet Sheehan allowed half of those 12 runs while recording only 10 outs. The big blows were […]

Dodgers on Deck: Monday, June 22 at Twins

The Dodgers have no more home games remaining in June after Sunday, as they start a nine-game road trip on Monday against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis. This is the fourth consecutive series for Los Angeles against American League teams. Left-hander Eric Lauer gets the ball in the series opener, making his […]

Chris Newell homers twice in Tulsa win, Oklahoma City wins shutout

Two of three Dodgers affiliates that played on Saturday won their games. Player of the day Tulsa outfielder Chris Newell was designated to hit on Saturday, and that he did. He hit the game-tying home run in the ninth inning, then smashed the game-winning two-run shot in the 11th. Triple-A Oklahoma City Cole Irvin pitched […]

Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman

Yoshinobu Yamamoto was tasked with extending the Dodgers’ win streak to five on Saturday, but a complete lack of run support and a “lack of feel” on the mound sunk him in. Yamamoto was tagged for three runs against the Baltimore Orioles, the first time he had given up more than one run in any […]

Dodgers comeback attempt falls short in loss to Orioles

One game after a magical walk-off against the Baltimore Orioles, the Dodgers couldn’t get the job done again on Saturday as they fell 3-2. After both teams could muster just one walk in the first inning, Baltimore began the top of the second against Yoshinobu Yamamoto with a pair of singles from Leody Taveras and […]

Blake Treinen on injured list, Dodgers recall Chayce McDermott

Shohei Ohtani returns to Dodgers lineup after birth of second child

Shohei Ohtani missed Friday night’s series opener for the birth of his second child, but he’s back in the Dodgers lineup against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night, batting in his usual leadoff spot as the designated hitter. Ohtani on Saturday posted a statement on Instagram from him and his wife Mamiko after the birth […]

For Dodgers, 9 innings has been enough

Every Dodgers game in the 2026 season has been decided in nine innings, and the lack of extras hasn’t been for lack of trying. The Tampa Bay Rays loaded the bases in the ninth inning, coming dangerously close to bringing home the equalizer. On Friday, Dalton Rushing’s RBI single should have tied the game with […]

Alek Thomas has best game since joining Dodgers

Dodgers right-hander Brock Stewart pitched a scoreless inning for Class-A Ontario on Friday, the second straight night to complete the planned back-to-back outings that manager Dave Roberts said on Tuesday was coming this week. Stewart in four games for Ontario during this rehab assignment has allowed one run on four hits in four innings, with […]

Dalton Rushing walks it off in 3-run 9th inning rally

Dalton Rushing walked it off with a clutch ninth-inning RBI base hit for the Dodgers (49-27), securing a 6-5 comeback victory over the Orioles (35-42) Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

Dodgers welcome Orioles for weekend series

After a rare day and a half off at home, the Dodgers will begin a series with the Baltimore Orioles Friday night. The Dodgers now have the best record in all of MLB and have a chance to be the first team to 50 wins this weekend. The Orioles are at the other end of […]

Dodgers minors: James Tibbs III walks it off for the Comets

Several one-run affairs and a blowout loss for the Tower Buzzers made up a day of baseball in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Player of the day Sometimes one hit is all you need. Through nine innings, James Tibbs III hadn’t done anything, but then, with one out in the tenth and the Comets trailing […]

Dodgers notes: Brock Stewart, Evan Phillips, Mookie Betts

The Dodgers bullpen is no longer the biggest liability on the team this season, especially after they posted 38 consecutive scoreless innings in the month of May. There are still big-name pitchers in both the rotation and bullpen— Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Edwin Díaz— that are still recovering from injuries, but that hasn’t stopped […]

Sixpence none the richer

Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but last week in Chicago, Yoshinobu Yamamoto took a no-hitter into the ninth inning. And then…well…as if I needed any more reason to be annoyed by the Savannah Bananas…ex-Savannah Banana Tristan Peters spoiled my fun. That ball had a family. I had the oddest sense of deja vu. […]
