Latest news and updates about the Dodgers
We’re about two and a half weeks into the Dodgers’ Cactus League schedule, with another roughly two and a half weeks of exhibition games to go. It’s the first year that an automated ball-strike challenge system will be used in real, actual major league games, and thus far the Dodgers have been quite unsuccessful in […]
The Dodgers on Sunday afternoon made their second round of roster cuts in spring training, sending a dozen players to minor league camp, including top prospect Josue De Paula. Ryan Ward and pitcher Ronan Kopp, each of whom were added to the 40-man roster in November, were optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The other 10 […]
Justin Wrobleski continued his impressive spring with three scoreless innings on Sunday in the Dodgers’ 11-7 loss to the Athletics in Mesa Wrobleski struck out three, with two finished off by his slider and another by his four-seam fastball. The left-hander is in the mix for an early-season spot in the starting rotation, but there’s […]
After a pair of night games, it’s back to day games for a big for the Dodgers, who are in Mesa on Sunday to take on the Athletics. Sunday game info
Happy Sunday A’s fans! For the second straight day, the Athletics will play a split-squad double header. Yesterday, the A’s dropped both games as the squad that remained in Arizona lost to the Chicago Cubs 4-3. The other half of the team made a bad first impression at the organization’s future home Las Vegas, losing […]
The Dodgers travel to the Maryvale section of Phoenix on Monday afternoon to take on the Milwaukee Brewers.

Also this week, pool play concludes in the World Baseball Classic, which moves into elimination games next weekend. Korea, […]
Will Smith played a part in the United States’ 9-1 win over Great Britain Saturday night to improve to 2-0 in Pool B in the World Baseball Classic. But he was also on the wrong end of a couple of nice defensive plays that prevented an even bigger night for the Dodgers catcher. Smith walked […]

Introduction Last week we began a series of articles reviewing the offseason moves of each National League West team, starting with the worst team in the NL West (and possibly all of MLB), the Colorado Rockies. (Here’s a link to that article). Continuing our NL West offseason reviews, we’re going from worst to first with […]
Featuring in the last game of Saturday’s slate, the Landon Knack-led Dodgers play host to the Colorado Rockies.
After a pair of night games, the Dodgers are back under the sun on Sunday, playing the A’s at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa. Sunday is also the first day of daylight savings time, which aligns the clocks in Arizona and Los Angeles. In other words, Sunday’s 1:05 p.m. game in Mesa will also be at […]

Roki Sasaki has been a mess in his first two starts this spring, still working through some new pitches and fighting his command, having through 38 strikes and 43 balls thus far in Cactus League play, allowing seven runs and recording 10 outs. Sasaki has expressed confidence in his mechanics and the coming adjustments, and […]
The Dodgers were able to bounce back after suffering a walk-off loss on Thursday by shutting out the Kansas City Royals 6-0 on Friday.

The Dodgers play their first night game of the spring as they host the Kansas City Royals at Camelback Ranch. Ryder Ryan makes his second start against right-hander Mitch Spence. FRIDAY GAME INFO
The World Baseball Classic is in full swing; I’m watching Mexico try to finish off Great Britain as I write this. But there are still players left behind in Spring Training who are still competing for jobs and Mitch Spence is one of those. The Royals traded for the righty just as Spring Training was […]

Landon Knack makes his third start of spring, and is expected to be backed by Alex Vesia, Blake Treinen, Jack Dreyer, and Ben Casparius, all of whom pitched often in the bullpen last season.

If it is not obvious, the Dodgers and the United States are merely borrowing Shohei Ohtani, as most recently evidenced by Ohtani’s recent batting practice session at the Tokyo Dome in preparation for the upcoming World Baseball Classic. With that in mind, in November 2025, MLB announced a documentary film about the 2025 Tokyo Series, […]
Three years ago, the Dodgers took a chance on outfielder Jason Heyward after a disappointing finish to his seven-year tenure with the Chicago Cubs. Although signed to a minor-league deal, Heyward eventually broke camp, had a bounce back season in 2023 and was able to prolong his career for another two years afterwards. Now, the […]
It was a wild one in Goodyear Ballpark on Thursday afternoon as ESPN broadcast a ridiculous 14-13 victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Los Angeles Dodgers that featured a combined 10 (!) homers between the two clubs. Fortunately for the Reds, they came out victorious in this game that ultimately means nothing in the […]
Process, process, process—the results of a spring training game matter most when they validate certain processes and reinforce an idea. The Dodgers scored a boatload of runs in a 14- 13 walk-off loss against the Reds; one of their expected regulars, Max Muncy, went yard, but what mattered more than anything else was the validation […]
Looking for their 10th win this spring training, the Dodgers play the Reds with left-hander Cole Irvin taking the ball for Los Angeles.
