Dodgers notes: Andy Pages, Mookie Betts, Yoshinobu Yamamoto

The Dodgers are back home for their final homestand of June, so let’s look at some news and notes from over the weekend. Yoshinobu Yamamoto taking a perfect game into the eighth inning was the highlight of the road trip, and the right-hander has allowed only four runs in 35 2/3 innings over his last […]

White Sox flip script in 6-run 6th to take series win

The Dodgers (45-27) went into the sixth inning Sunday afternoon in the Windy City with a 1-0 lead and a cruising Emmet Sheehan. The White Sox (38-32) changed the trajectory of the game and series outcome with a three-home run offensive explosion against Sheehan and Jack Dreyer in the sixth inning. The Dodgers tried to […]

Dodgers on Deck: Monday, June 15 vs. Rays

The Dodgers are back home to begin a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. Eric Lauer starts for the Dodgers. Right-hander Nick Martinez goes for the Rays.

Dodgers minors: Zach Ehrhard is on an absolute roll

The success of leadoff hitters across the board and a terrible loss in Single-A marked this past Saturday in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Player of the day While cleanup hitter Ryan Fitzgerald came within a home run of a cycle, it was Zach Ehrhard leading the charge in a Comets 11-7 win with not […]

Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani

Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani stole the show on Saturday as the Dodgers bounced back with a 7-2 victory after suffering a heavy defeat to the Chicago White Sox the day prior. Ohtani hit his third home run in as many games to begin Saturday’s contest, while Yamamoto produced his magnum opus on the mound […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is near unhittable in blowout Dodgers win

Shohei Ohtani is back; he homered to open the scoring in what turned out to be a 7-1 Dodgers win, and yet he takes a backseat in the storyline of this game as Yoshinobu Yamamoto toyed with perfection—not allowing a single baserunner through the first 7.2 innings—carrying a no-hit bid into the ninth inning before […]

Dodgers on Deck: Sunday, June 14 at White Sox

The Dodgers finished off their road trip with one more game against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday afternoon at Rate Field, perhaps during time for brunch back in California. Emmet Sheehan starts the series finale for the Dodgers, with right-hander Erick Fedde on the mound for Chicago. Sunday game info

Brock Stewart begins rehab assignment with Ontario

Brock Stewart started a minor league rehab assignment on Friday night in the California League. The Dodgers right-hander struck out a pair in one inning of work for Ontario in Lake Elsinore. He allowed a run on a pair of doubles, though the latter was a bloop shot to shallow left field. Stewart threw 18 […]

Shohei Ohtani sits Friday with left knee inflammation

Shohei Ohtani did not play in Friday’s series opener in Chicago after leaving Thursday’s game in Pittsburgh with left knee inflammation. Ohtani got an MRI on his left knee with showed “normal wear and tear,” manager Dave Roberts told reporters Friday in Chicago. “With the travel, just to give him an extra day. My hope […]

Roki Sasaki implodes in 7-run 5th, Dodgers fall to White Sox

The Chicago White Sox pounced on Roki Sasaki during a seven-run fifth inning to beat the Dodgers 8-2 in Friday night’s series opener at Rate Field. The first four batters reached against Sasaki in the fifth inning, including a two-run double off the right field wall by old friend Miguel Vargas to give Chicago the […]

Dodgers on Deck: Saturday, June 13 at White Sox

The Dodgers and Chicago White Sox continue their weekend series on Saturday afternoon at Rate Field in Chicago, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound coming off his best start of the season. Yamamoto retired his final 22 batters faced in his eight innings to beat the Angels last Saturday at Dodger Stadium, and allowed just […]

Dodgers in South Side of Chicago for three game set with White Sox

After narrowly escaping Pittsburgh with their first series win there in five years, the Dodgers are now in the South Side of Chicago to take on the first-place White Sox. Yes, you read that right, the first-place White Sox. While it is currently just a half game lead over the Cleveland Indians in the AL […]

Dodgers injuries are piling up

The Dodgers escaped a turbulent series at PNC Park in Pittsburgh with a series win over the Pirates, but Thursday’s victory was dulled somewhat with Shohei Ohtani leaving with left knee inflammation and pitcher Justin Wrobleski suffering a right hamstring contusion. Wrobleski took a comebacker from Bryan Reynolds off the hamstring in the fifth inning, […]

Dodgers minors: AJ Soldra leads Tower Buzzers’ comeback

Three games were played; two ended in walk-off fashion, and all three with the winning side taking the lead in the final inning of play. Player of the day AJ Soldra made the most out of batting ninth and helped the Tower Buzzers avoid defeat by recording three hits in five at-bats, driving in four […]

Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Justin Wrobleski, Tanner Scott

Shohei Ohtani has set the baseball world on fire on the mound despite his most recent start on Wednesday, and he’s been picking up the pace with the lumber as well since May 12. Ohtani capped off the three-game set in Pittsburgh with his second home run in as many games while reaching base four […]

Dodgers two-out magic is enough to outlast the Pirates

Despite a few scares in the late innings, the Dodgers were in control of this one for the vast majority, taking the lead in the third and holding it all the way into an 8-6 win in yet another high-scoring affair, routine for this series. However, the result takes a backseat to the concerns surrounding […]

Dodgers on Deck: Friday, June 12 at White Sox

The Dodgers continue their road trip against recently terrible teams who are above .500 this season, heading to Chicago to face the first-place White Sox beginning Friday night at Rate Field. It used to be called Guaranteed Rate Field, but there are no assurances in life. Roki Sasaki makes the start, looking to continue his […]

A favorable matchup for Dodgers’ left-handed hitters

Only a few months away from turning 37, Freddie Freeman seems intent on materializing one of the smoothest “declines” in baseball, if we can even call it that. The Dodgers’ star first baseman isn’t the same hitter he was when he joined this team back in 2022, but you wouldn’t really know it from looking […]

Dodgers minors: Mike Sirota’s on-base streak reaches 49 games

The lower levels delivered underwhelming performances as both the Loons and Ontario Tower Buzzers lost, while the outlook was entirely different in Triple and Double-A. Player of the day Elevating his game since the call-up to Double-A, Mike Sirota once again was heavily involved in a Tulsa win, recording over half of the team’s RBI […]

Dodgers notes – Will Smith, Freddie Freeman

The Dodgers took a big lump Wednesday in Pittsburgh, losing a close game that was an Ohtani start in which he surrendered his first inning of multiple runs. And as always, there are always more bumps in the road. Will Smith will be hitting the injured list, after his lingering neck issue isn’t getting better […]
