Josue De Paula, Chase Harlan win May minor league player of the month
Catching up on some minor league news on a Sunday morning, earlier this week a pair of Dodgers minor leaguers won player of the month awards for May.

Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Andy Pages, Will Smith
The Dodgers starting pitching has been nearly unhittable this week, and the trend continued on Saturday with Yoshinobu Yamamoto tossing a season-high eight innings against the Angels. Although Yamamoto couldn’t compare to Roki Sasaki’s 10 strikeouts from the game before, Yamamoto retired 22 hitters in a row and had a comfortable eight-run lead to work […]
Dodgers 9-run first has Yoshinobu Yamamoto in cruise control
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers had their best scoring inning in five years in yet another lopsided defeat of the Angels, 9-2 on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium. The first six Dodgers got hits off Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz, who retired only one of his eight batters faced. By the time he departed after 38 […]

Tyler Glasnow moved to 60-day injured list, Dodgers add Nick Frasso to 40-man roster
LOS ANGELES — It’s been one month since Tyler Glasnow’s last start, and now it will be at least one month until he pitches again for the Dodgers. The right-hander was moved to the 60-day injured list on Saturday, as his back issues have proved to be a larger setback than originally thought. Glasnow left […]
Dodgers walk-off home runs to win a 1-0 game
Scoring was at a premium in Friday night’s series opener, with both Roki Sasaki and Reid Detmers permitting nothing crossing home plate on their watch. It took until the ninth inning, when Freddie Freeman took old friend Kirby Yates deep for the only run of the game, and a walk-off winner. It was Freeman’s fifth […]
Stephen Nelson on sharing views from the broadcast booth
LOS ANGELES — I interviewed Stephen Nelson last week on a variety of topics, including calling the wildness of Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, what goes into his daily routine on the job, and many more things. You can listen to this interview in audio form on the Three-Inning Save podcast. Nelson has […]

Player of the day Tulsa third baseman Jake Gelof homered twice and doubled on Friday night, part of his three-hit, three-run, three-RBI night. Gelof has driven in runs in seven straight games. […]
Roki Sasaki, Shohei Ohtani continue to impress
Roki Sasaki did not figure in the decision on Friday night, through no fault of his own as he struck out his MLB-high 10 Angels in seven scoreless frames. The right-hander has allowed five total runs (four earned) over 24 1/3 innings in his last four starts, with 29 strikeouts against only five walks. You […]
Roki Sasaki pitches gem, Freddie Freeman walks it off
Roki Sasaki delivered the best start of his MLB career Friday night against the Angels (24-40) in what became a scoreless pitcher’s duel through the first eight innings.

Roki Sasaki attempts to emulate earlier success against the Angels
Roki Sasaki’s path in the big leagues has tested the resolve of a player who, before coming to the US, had known nothing but absolute success in his career. Something has clicked during the course of the season, though, for the right-hander to turn a corner in the last month, finishing May with a 3.18 […]
Dodgers minors: Zach Ehrhard’s best game of the season
Plenty of homers but not enough wins as both the Tower Buzzers and Loons got beaten at home. Player of the day For the first time this year, Zach Ehrhard recorded at least three runs and just as many RBI, courtesy of a couple of home runs that helped the Comets earn their 34th win […]
Dodgers notes: Max Muncy, Tanner Scott, Justin Wrobleski
14 days ago against the Milwaukee Brewers, Max Muncy was forced to exit the game after taking a fastball to his wrist. Muncy found himself in another painful situation on Thursday, this time colliding head-first into Diamondbacks first baseman Ildemaro Vargas, forcing him to leave the game in the top of the fifth inning. The […]
Diamondbacks best Dodgers with dramatic late home runs
Not a pitch was thrown with the Dodgers trailing, and yet they found themselves on the losing end of a 3-2 matchup, all thanks to a walk-off solo shot from Ketel Marte off Tanner Scott. Justin Wrobleski did his part by delivering six scoreless innings, but the offense was underwhelming without Shohei Ohtani, and a […]

Dodgers on Deck: Friday, June 5 vs. Angels
The Dodgers are back home ever so briefly, with a single-series homestand this weekend against the Angels at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Back in Anaheim from May 15-17, the Dodgers had their way with the Angels in a three-game sweep, outscoring the Halos 31-3. The Angels come to Los Angeles having lost 29 of […]
Can the Ohtani-less Dodgers handle the Diamondbacks?
Not only are the days of Shohei Ohtani struggling with the bat in 2026 gone, but his overall production makes you question if that was ever an actual period of this season in the first place. Ohtani has particularly enjoyed this series against the Diamondbacks—recording multi-hit performances in each of the first three games, dominating […]
Shohei Ohtani is dominating the Diamondbacks
Not only are the days of Shohei Ohtani struggling with the bat in 2026 gone, but his overall production makes you question if that was ever an actual period of this season in the first place. Ohtani has particularly enjoyed this series against the Diamondbacks—recording multi-hit performances in each of the first three games, dominating […]
Dodgers tell the league to stop whining
Adjectives that come to mind about Dave Roberts in the media are measured, reasoned, and thoughtful. Maybe a bit verbose or circular, especially when it comes to injury updates. The point is that it’s rare when Roberts calls out a player, and it’s usually a doozy when it happens. The anger of the quiet person […]
Dodgers minors: Chase Harlan shines in Ontario win
Tulsa, Great Lakes,, and Ontario all won, with a highlight for the Drillers’ 16-hit effort in a commanding win over the Sod Poodles. Player of the day Now batting .333, Chase Harlan was at the forefront of a winning effort for the Tower Buzzers, managing to hit his eighth home run of the season, anchoring […]
Dalton Rushing & ABS, 6-man rotation bearing fruit
The Dodgers have always been at the forefront of technology and innovation. They have been using their Trajekt Arc pitching machine to help hitters prepare for opposing pitchers. The machine replicates release points and deliveries, while also showing the batter specific pitch characteristics. Dalton Rushing has been below average in challenges to called pitches so […]
Shohei Ohtani tosses six scoreless innings in shutout win over D-backs
Shohei Ohtani continued to dazzle on the mound, and the Dodgers gave him plenty of early run support as they shut out the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-0 on Wednesday. The Dodgers started the scoring with a two-run home run for a second consecutive game, this time being Kyle Tucker launching his first home run since May […]
