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. […]

Tuesday was as low scoring of an affair as one could as for, as the Dodgers came away with their second 1-0 win since June 5. In what has been an unbelievable offensive stretch since May 12, Shohei Ohtani kept it going as he provided the only offense for either side, blasting a solo home […]

Tommy Edman happy to be back to normal again

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers coveted Tommy Edman’s ability to play multiple positions, especially up the middle, before they traded for him in July 2024, and was a big reason they signed the utility man to a five-year contract extension that winer. Now that he’s back from surgery to repair an ankle he sprained during […]
