Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, April 28 vs. Marlins
The Dodgers continue their series against the Miami Marlins with the middle game on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Shohei Ohtani takes the mound on Tuesday, needing six more innings to get back on the ERA leaderboard for at least another day. The Dodgers mulled flipping Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow in the […]
Time to give Yoshinobu Yamamoto the support he deserves
While Tyler Glasnow, Justin Wrobleski, Emmet Sheehan, and Shohei Ohtani combine for an 11-0 record, Yoshinobu Yamamoto sits at 2-2 heading into his sixth start of the season. The trend of Yamamoto not receiving adequate run support, particularly in contrast with the regular numbers that this offense puts up, was a major theme of his […]
Dodgers Week 5: Starting pitching carrying the load, Max Muncy powers up
It took a weekend rally, but the Dodgers continued their streaks of winning weeks to open the season. They bookended the week with blowout wins, but in between saw the offense disappear, losing a series in San Francisco. Winning the last two games against the Cubs gave the Dodgers a 4-3 week. Newly-signed closer Edwin […]
Dodgers minors: Brock Stewart, Anson Aroz, James Tibbs III

Dodgers notes: Will Smith back tightness, Roki Sasaki’s splitter
LOS ANGELES — Dodgers catcher Will Smith did not start either of the final two games of the weekend series against the Chicago Cubs, while dealing with back tightness. “He could play if he needed to, but we felt it was smart to give him an extra day, and I guess put him into the […]
Ellie Rodríguez, former Dodgers catcher, dies at age 79
Ellie Rodríguez, the Puerto Rican catcher who played nine major league seasons died on Thursday at age 79.

Justin Wrobleski keeps on rolling as Dodgers shut out Cubs

Dodgers keep starting rotation in order vs. Marlins
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers plan to start Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, and Tyler Glasnow in that order for their three-game series against the Miami Marlins beginning Monday night at Dodger Stadium. That really isn’t news, except that they could have pushed Ohtani to Wednesday’s series finale, which would line up him to start two […]
Dodgers on Deck: Monday, April 27 vs. Marlins
The Dodgers continue their homestand by welcoming the Miami Marlins to town beginning Monday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

Soldra, drafted in the 16th round […]
Dodgers notes: Roki Sasaki, Rick Monday, Shohei Ohtani
Bringing a team on the verge of 11 consecutive victories to a screeching halt was the seemingly impossible task for a struggling Roki Sasaki on Saturday. On his first ever bobblehead day, Sasaki did what he could to allow the Dodgers to pounce on Chicago Cubs starter Colin Rea, and it resulted in his first […]
Dodgers offense enough to heal all wounds, beat Cubs

Dodgers lost 5 of last 7, now turn to Roki Sasaki
The Dodgers offense spent most of the last week wasting an incredible stretch by the starting rotation, coupled with a suddenly vulnerable bullpen having their worst week of the season. That fueled five losses over the last seven games, and now the Dodgers on Saturday turn to Roki Sasaki, the black sheep of the rotation […]
Brock Stewart scoreless inning for OKC, Jake Gelof homers twice for Tulsa
Brock Stewart loaded the bases but pitched a scoreless sixth inning with two strikeouts for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday night, his second game for the Comets and fourth minor league rehab appearance so far.

Dodgers host the Cubs in Kyle Tucker reunion
One year ago, the Cubs were on their way to a playoff appearance with an outstanding outfield duo of Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker as two of their biggest contributors.
