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 […]
Max Muncy thriving at third base, Will Smith not ready to return from injured list
Max Muncy drove in a pair of runs with a first-inning single and also walked twice on Friday night.

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.

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.

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 […]

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 […]
