Dodgers notes: Roki Sasaki’s role, LA farm system accolades
The Dodgers aren’t sure how long Roki Sasaki will be on the injured list with his middle-finger blister, and while he’s expected to pitch in the bullpen during the postseason, they might also want him to start games in September to give the rest of the rotation rest days. Bill Plunkett at the Orange County […]
Dodgers snap skid behind Skubal
The Dodgers (81-54) snapped their mini losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Tigers (62-72) Friday night in Detroit. Tarik Skubal wasn’t involved in the decision, but his return to Comerica Park was a success. He allowed one run on four hits with seven strikeouts and no walks over six innings of work. The […]

Tarik Skubal battles his “replacement”
A little under a month ago, the Dodgers added the best pitcher in the sport. The 2026 regular season schedule made it so that even in a short tenure with the reigning champs, Skubal would get to return to Detroit to face his old team. Last weekend felt like an early defining moment for Skubal […]
Dodgers on Deck: Saturday, August 29 at Tigers
Blake Snell makes his fourth start back from the injured list on Saturday, taking the middle game of the weekend series between the Dodgers and Tigers at Comerica Park in Detroit. Snell has lasted exactly six innings in each of his three starts thus far while allowing only two total runs and seven hits. Third-year […]
Good news: Dodgers remaining schedule is a cakewalk
The Dodgers had a rough go of things in Atlanta, dropping all three games to the Braves, just like two weeks prior when the Milwaukee Brewers took three out of four games in Los Angeles. The rest of the schedule for the last 18 days has been the opposite, with the Dodgers collecting three sweeps […]
Dodgers minors: Charles Davalan keeps on thriving in High-A
Losses in the higher levels and blowout wins in the lower levels made up Thursday’s slate of games in the Dodgers’ minor league system.

Tarik Skubal on facing Tigers for the first time
On August 18, 2020, 23-year-old left-hander Tarik Skubal made his major league debut for a Detroit Tigers team that went on to miss the postseason for a sixth consecutive season.

No runs on Sale, Dodgers leave Atlanta with empty pockets
“Untouchable” defined the performance of Chris Sale, outdueling Yoshinobu Yamamoto in a battle of aces that lived up to expectations as the Braves won 1-0. Raising their respective games up to the occasion, Yamamoto and Sale made true on the standard assumption that great pitching beats great hitting, operating as the two best players in […]

Dodgers call up Seth Halvorsen with Roki Sasaki on injured list
The Dodgers lost Roki Sasaki to a blister on his right middle finger in the fourth inning on Wednesday night.

It’s […]
Dodgers on Deck: Friday, August 28 at Tigers
The Dodgers made the biggest move at the trade deadline in acquiring ace Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers on August 2. Now just less than four weeks later, the two-time Cy Young Award winner will face his former team for the first time, in front of fans at Comerica Park. Skubal has a 2.67 […]
Dodgers fighting too many uphill battles
The Dodgers lost the first two games of this series against the Atlanta Braves in the home team’s last at-bat, which has been a trend of late, with five of their 12 losses in August including the winning run scored in the eighth inning or later. We’ve talked a lot about how the Dodgers went […]
Dodgers face tough luck Chris Sale in Atlanta
One is the number. What number, you may ask? One win that the Dodgers look for before leaving Atlanta? One-run losses as the theme of this series against the Braves? One unequivocally poor performance in a season’s worth of games for Chris Sale, who in all but one of his 23 starts this season has […]
Dodgers minors: Gavin freezing hitters into Stone
Shutout wins, high-scoring wins—the Dodgers’ minor-league affiliates had it all in an eventful Wednesday with five games since the Comets had a doubleheader on the schedule.

Mark Walter’s company TWG Global says Dodgers are not for sale
Two companies owned by Dodgers chairman and owner Mark Walter — TWG Global and Guggeinheim Partners — are part of multiple federal investigations regarding insurance investments.

Braves get to Tanner Scott again, this time in walk-off fashion
The Dodgers saw another Atlanta Braves comeback against Tanner Scott on Wednesday, this time walking them off in the bottom of the ninth in a 6-5 final score.

Dodgers on Deck: Thursday, August 27 at Braves
The series finale between the Dodgers and Atlanta Braves features a wonderful pitching matchup, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Chris Sale on the mound on Thursday night at Truist Park.

Roki Sasaki looks to continue his second half success
The Dodgers look to even up the series in Atlanta against the Braves, a series that could be key to which team owns one of the top two spots in the NL, which would give them that ever-so-important bye in the first round. Currently, the Dodgers are one game behind the Milwaukee Brewers in wins, […]
Dodgers 40-man roster decisions are coming
Will Smith began his rehab assignment with a bang on Tuesday night, hitting a home run for Triple-A Oklahoma City while catching five innings.

Dodgers notes: Tyler Glasnow, Alek Thomas, Shohei Ohtani
