Dodger notes: Blake Snell rejoins rotation just in time

While it wasn’t pretty, the Dodgers did manage to get their first sweep this month, against the Kansas City Royals. All games were won by close margins, with two just being one-run games and one going to extras to earn the win. The Dodgers have shown an unusual number of missteps in their games in […]

Eric Lauer’s gem, trio of home runs help Dodgers finish sweep of Royals

The Dodgers have their first sweep of the second half, as they took care of business against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday with a 4-2 victory. The early game jitters flared up again for Eric Lauer, as he left two men on in the top of the first inning. He was one out away […]

Freddie Freeman leaves game after falling into Royals dugout

Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman fell directly into the Kansas City Royals dugout in the top of the eighth inning trying to catch a foul popup, and left the game after the defensive inning.

Dodgers on Deck: Thursday, August 13 vs. Brewers

The Dodgers continue their homestand with four games against the Milwaukee Brewers, who come to town with the best record in baseball, just like in 2025.

Dodgers call up Landon Knack amid heavy bullpen usage

Seth Halvorsen made his Dodgers debut on Tuesday night, pitching a spotless 10th inning to strand the free runner and earn the win over the Kansas City Royals.

Dodgers in need of a sweep

The Dodgers arrived back home on fumes, having lost eight of their previous nine games. They’ve eked out two one-run wins over a last-place Kansas City Royals team, and on Wednesday have a chance to do something that’s been a long time coming: sweep a team. Last time the Dodgers swept a team was June […]

Dodgers minors: Nico Perez’s second two-homer game of the season

Bobby Miller encountered some problems in his second appearance back from injury in Triple-A, and the Drillers overcame a blown save to beat the Travelers in walk-off fashion. Player of the day When the most impressive game is also the one with the biggest impact, the choice is easy, and such was the case for […]

Dodgers notes: Blake Snell, Mookie Betts, Max Muncy

The Dodgers are now on a two-game winning streak after securing a walk-off victory against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

Snell […]

Dodgers back to a 6-man starting rotation, for now

LOS ANGELES — When Blake Snell returns from the injured list to start Tuesday night, the Dodgers will have a full six-man starting rotation again, for the first time since Shohei Ohtani last pitched, on July 3.

Dodgers getting ‘bullied’ by fastballs

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers won the first game of their seven-game homestand on Monday, but thoughts still turned to not only their recent eight losses in nine games but also their general malaise as a team for the past six weeks. Earlier Monday, Fabian Ardaya at The Athletic wrote about how inept the Dodgers […]

Dodgers grind out a win over the Royals in a one-run game

The wins are rare and not so easily attained for the Dodgers at this specific moment in the season. And hosting the Royals, it took all that this team had to outlast the opposition in a 6-5 victory in a back-and-forth matchup with multiple lead changes, ultimately decided on a Freddie Freeman RBI single. Allowing […]

Tarik Skubal’s home debut against last-place Royals

When Tarik Skubal last took the mound at Dodger Stadium, he did so for the first time as a Cy Young winner for the Tigers in the Dodgers’ home opener back in 2025. That wasn’t one of Skubal’s finest moments, allowing four runs in just five innings in what turned out to be a one-run […]

Week 20: Did the Dodgers’ play ruin baseball?

For all the talk of the Dodgers ruining competitive balance in baseball, they’ve been neither competitive nor balanced of late. Their losing ways continued on the road last week, getting swept by the Chicago Cubs then losing two of three to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The only win in six games last week came after somehow […]

MLB sets 2026 postseason schedule

Regardless of how badly the Dodgers have played of late, they are going to make the postseason this year. That much is a given, but when said playoffs might start for Los Angeles remains to be seen.

Eduardo Quintero, Josue De Paula, Charles Davalan shine Sunday
