Ohtani on Saturday posted a statement on Instagram from him and his wife Mamiko after the birth […]

For Dodgers, 9 innings has been enough

Every Dodgers game in the 2026 season has been decided in nine innings, and the lack of extras hasn’t been for lack of trying. The Tampa Bay Rays loaded the bases in the ninth inning, coming dangerously close to bringing home the equalizer. On Friday, Dalton Rushing’s RBI single should have tied the game with […]

Alek Thomas has best game since joining Dodgers

Dodgers right-hander Brock Stewart pitched a scoreless inning for Class-A Ontario on Friday, the second straight night to complete the planned back-to-back outings that manager Dave Roberts said on Tuesday was coming this week. Stewart in four games for Ontario during this rehab assignment has allowed one run on four hits in four innings, with […]

Dalton Rushing walks it off in 3-run 9th inning rally

Dalton Rushing walked it off with a clutch ninth-inning RBI base hit for the Dodgers (49-27), securing a 6-5 comeback victory over the Orioles (35-42) Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

Dodgers on Deck: Saturday, June 20 vs. Orioles

The Dodgers turn to their ace on Saturday night against the Baltimore Orioles, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto coming off two gems in a row.

Dodgers welcome Orioles for weekend series

After a rare day and a half off at home, the Dodgers will begin a series with the Baltimore Orioles Friday night. The Dodgers now have the best record in all of MLB and have a chance to be the first team to 50 wins this weekend. The Orioles are at the other end of […]

Dodgers minors: James Tibbs III walks it off for the Comets

Several one-run affairs and a blowout loss for the Tower Buzzers made up a day of baseball in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Player of the day Sometimes one hit is all you need. Through nine innings, James Tibbs III hadn’t done anything, but then, with one out in the tenth and the Comets trailing […]

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. […]

The long & the short of it

LOS ANGELES — Justin Wrobleski on Tuesday night had another strong start in a season that is filling up with them, and authored the first two-thirds of a game that lasted only one hour, 52 minutes. Drew Rasmussen was also quite good, going seven innings for the Rays, and allowed the only run of the […]

Dodgers minors: Zach Ehrhard’s outstanding June ensues

Three separate starting pitchers struggled heavily in a disappointing day across the Dodgers’ minor league system, particularly in the higher levels. Player of the day While it wasn’t enough for the win, Zach Ehrhard did his part and then some, recording two home runs and four RBI in what has been an absurd month of […]

Dodgers notes – Shohei Ohtani, Ryan Ward, plus injury updates

After sweeping the Tampa Bay Rays, the Dodgers will enjoy a day and a half off before welcoming the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. The Dodgers concluded the sweep on Wednesday, despite starter Shohei Ohtani giving up four runs in the fifth, and leaving the game as a pitcher to return in the sixth as […]

Freddie Freeman’s go-ahead blast helps Dodgers complete sweep

Scoring was much more prevalent on Wednesday, but the Dodgers secured their third straight one-run win against the Tampa Bay Rays, taking the finale 5-4 to complete the sweep. Just like on Tuesday, both teams were held scoreless over the first three innings, as Shohei Ohtani and Shane McClanahan allowed just two baserunners apiece over […]

Dodgers on Deck: Friday, June 19 vs. Orioles

Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Justin Wrobleski, Kyle Tucker

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 […]

Justin Wrobleski keeps Rays grounded, Shohei Ohtani homers in Dodgers win

LOS ANGELES — Justin Wrobleski piled up more zeroes and kept Dodgers infielders busy, out-dueling Drew Rasmussen on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. Shohei Ohtani provided the game’s only run in a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Wrobleski had one of his most efficient outings of the season, needing only 67 pitches to […]

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 […]

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers play their final home weekday day game of the regular season in Wednesday’s series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays, with a 12:10 p.m. start at Dodger Stadium.

On the Dodgers pitching deep, and going streaking

Justin Wrobleski takes the mound on Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays at Dodger Stadium, just the second time this season a Dodgers pitcher has started on four days rest.
