Dodgers minors: Adam Serwinowski delivers his longest outing as a pro
Tightly contested games across the board, including disappointing defensive efforts from both the Loons and Tower Buzzers, stood out on the first day of September. Player of the day It’s not every day you see a pitcher covering eight innings in the minor leagues; it’s not every day you see that anywhere, and Adam Serwinowski […]
Dodgers notes: Will Smith, Shohei Ohtani, Eric Lauer
For the first time in nearly three whole months, Will Smith was back in the starting lineup for the start of the Dodgers’ nine-game homestand on Tuesday. Smith finished the game going 1-5 with a double and two RBI on Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals, but his impact could only bring so much to […]
Cardinals fly to unforeseen heights at the expense of the Dodgers
Outhomering the Dodgers five to zip, the Cardinals had no trouble controlling this game right from the jump in a 13-8 blowout win. For the first time since joining the Dodgers, Eric Lauer delivered a bad enough start at home that helps illustrate why he was available in the first place, ready to be scooped […]
Dodgers vs. Cardinals: game chat
Will Smith slots into the fifth spot in the lineup in his first game back as the Dodgers welcome the Cardinals into town. Tuesday’s game info
Blake Treinen back ‘very soon,’ Dodgers will call up 6th starter vs. Nationals
LOS ANGELES — Blake Treinen was at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday, though wasn’t activated once active roster limits expanded on September 1. The veteran right-hander checked off the usual late-stage boxes for rehabbing relievers in the last week with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Treinen pitched back-to-back outings last Wednesday and Thursday, then on Sunday pitched in […]
Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, September 2 vs. Cardinals
The Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals continue their series on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound for Los Angeles. Yamamoto has allowed 10 total runs over his last seven starts. The Dodgers have scored three or fewer runs in five of his last six home starts, with the Dodgers just […]
Dodgers notes: Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Teoscar Hernández
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers did not call up an outfielder among their September call ups despite their current group being among the least productive in the sport. They did however activate two catchers, one who isn’t expected to catch, and infielder Alex Freeland. Freeland plays second base on Tuesday night against the St. Louis […]
Dodgers activate Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Justin Wrobleski, call up Alex Freeland
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Tuesday activated catcher Will Smith off the 60-day injured list, ending his three-month stint with neck inflammation. They also activated catcher Dalton Rushing and pitcher Justin Wrobleski from the injured list, and called up infielder Alex Freeland on the first day active roster limits expand from 26 players and […]
The start of the homestand is marked by Will Smith’s return
As the Cardinals and their reasonably solid road record (34-32) head to Dodger Stadium, the reigning back-to-back champs are excited by the return of one of their key players, Will Smith. Out since early June with neck inflammation, Smith is finally ready to go and should slot right back into the middle of the batting […]
Dodgers trade José Rodríguez to Blue Jays for pitcher Sebastian Rodríguez
The Dodgers on Tuesday made a minor trade, sending Triple-A right-hander José Rodríguez to the Toronto Blue Jays for minor league pitcher Sebastian Rodríguez. I know what you’re thinking — maybe the various minor league affiliates the 25-year-old José Rodríguez pitched at might still have some old Rodríguez jerseys lying around. But the 20-year-old Sebastian […]
Things to overreact to after 137 games of the 2026 season
Fun fact: there are only 25 regular-season games left in 2026. Accordingly, we can finally start writing the obituary for the campaign. Note that I did not say “title defense,” as, barring a statistically improbable series of events, the Los Angeles Dodgers will make the 2026 tournament. How many? Eight or more, at bare minimum. […]
What catchers Hunter Feduccia & Ben Rortvedt provided in August
The Dodgers will get Will Smith back on Tuesday, activated off the 60-day injured list after missing almost three months with neck inflammation. That’s nearly half a season without a three-time All-Star, a middle-of-the-lineup staple of three different championship teams in Los Angeles. Getting Smith back at anywhere near his established norms will be a […]
Dodgers minor league postseason scenarios
It’s not just the final month of the regular season for the Dodgers, but September also marks the end of the minor league campaign as well. There is one week left in the seasons of both Class-A and High-A, and two weeks left in Double-A. Triple-A ends its regular season on September 20, one week […]
Should Dodgers fans expect more from the offense?
As the dog days of August turn into September, the Los Angeles Dodgers hope to turn the rough patch that they’ve gone through around and finally start scoring again. This is the third year in a row that the Dodgers have gone through a slide like this, something that Bill Plunkett of the OC Register […]

Dodgers in August: Offense nonexistent, playoff rotation in place
The Dodgers ended August on a high note with a win on Sunday in Detroit, but the month itself was quite mediocre, with an offense that left a lot to be desired. The result was a losing month, going just 13-14 in August, following a ho-hum 13-11 in July. The Dodgers were outscored in July […]
Dodgers Week 23: Rough road trip
The Dodgers took their lumps on the road, dropping four of six games in Atlanta and Detroit. Most importantly they dropped all three games to the Braves, squandering the lead the Dodgers previously held over Atlanta for the race to one of the top two seeds in the National League postseason. Offense was the key […]
Will Smith finishes rehab week with Triple-A Oklahoma City
Dodgers catcher Will Smith completed his minor league rehab assignment on Sunday night, catching six innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City and collected one single in three at-bats. In all, Smith played five games for the Comets last week — four starts and 25 innings behind the plate, and once as designated hitter. He had four […]
Latest MLB labor proposal revamps free agent timelines, in-season roster rules
Major League Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement expires on 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, December 1, and the owners will almost certainly lock out the players the moment the CBA expires, just as they did in December 2021 before eventually coming to an agreement in March 2022. This time around, a salary cap and competitive balance […]
Dodgers finally find some offense, backing stingy Tyler Glasnow
The start of Sunday’s game was delayed 58 minutes by rain, and the Dodgers offense was delayed by two months of mediocre hitting. But they scratched together enough to end a dismal road trip on a relatively high note, beating the Tigers 6-1 at Comerica Park to secure a series win in Detroit. Freddie Freeman […]
Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, September 1 vs. Cardinals
The Dodgers August has been abysmal, so it’s probably a blessing they don’t play on Monday, the final day of the month. When they boys in blue resume play, they will be back home at Dodger Stadium to host the St. Louis Cardinals for three games beginning on Tuesday night. September 1 is the first […]

Emmet Sheehan on a roll in Triple-A, Will Smith doubles twice
The ins and outs of Saturday night in the Dodgers minor leagues. Player of the day Emmet Sheehan continued to roll in Triple-A, this time with seven strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Sheehan allowed a run, the only tally against him in his last three starts for Oklahoma City, with five hits and two walks […]
Shohei Ohtani still not cleared to make pitching start
Shohei Ohtani is expected to pitch again in a game for the Dodgers at some point, possibly soon. But it won’t happen on Sunday, or Tuesday, manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Saturday afternoon at Comerica Park in Detroit after a loss to the Tigers. “In total, Sho hasn’t come out of it well, the […]
Tigers pounce late on Dodgers in walk-off defeat
The Dodgers suffered their second walk-off defeat over their last four games, as the Detroit Tigers struck for a ninth-inning rally to win 2-1. Offense came at a premium for a second consecutive game against Detroit’s starting pitching, as the Dodgers were left scoreless over their first five innings against Keider Montero. The Dodgers had […]
