Dodgers trade for Eric Lauer

With Blake Snell having elbow surgery on Tuesday, Tyler Glasnow on the injured list with back spasms, and River Ryan only one start back from a minor league injured list stint, the Dodgers had five starting pitchers for their six-man rotation. So it makes perfect sense that they acquired left-hander Eric Lauer from the Toronto […]

Jack Dreyer on injured list, Dodgers call up Chayce McDermott & Paul Gervase

A bullpen refresh was inevitable heading into the Dodgers series finale against the Angels in Anaheim, after using eight pitchers to cover all nine innings on Friday. But there’s also another injury afoot, with Jack Dreyer placed on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder discomfort. The Dodgers called up both Chayce McDermott, who was […]

Alex Freeland homers twice, Ryder Ryan returns for Oklahoma City

All four Dodgers minor league affiliates won on Saturday. Player of the day Alex Freeland homered for a second straight day, and liked it so much he did it twice on Saturday. After Friday’s homer was hit from the right side, Freeland on Saturday homered twice while batting left-handed, and also singled. Freeland scored three […]

Dodgers walk all over Angels for 4th straight win

The sixth inning was the key to the Dodgers’ 15-2 win over the Angels on Saturday night. Justin Wrobleski the day after a bullpen game completed six innings for his sixth straight start, and the Dodgers broke open the game with five runs in the sixth inning against Halos ace José Soriano. After a four-game […]

Dodgers on Deck: Sunday, May 17 at Angels

Dodgers vs. Angels game II chat

After four losses in a row, the Dodgers try for their fourth win in a row on Saturday night in Orange County. The day-off carousel lands on Kyle Tucker for this one, with Alex Call starting in right field. Saturday game info

Dodgers try to keep offensive upswing against José Soriano

It’s hard to read too much into all of two games, but the Dodgers have scored 11 runs over their last two games, more than any three-game stretch of the previous six games. They’ve scored four, five, and six runs over the last three games, and you don’t need Disco Stu to see this is […]

Checking in with Dodgers relievers Will Klein, Wyatt Mills

With the Dodgers on a three-city road trip to Anaheim, San Diego, and Milwaukee, here are a few leftover tidbits from the last homestand at Dodger Stadium. Toast of the town First, I spoke with reliever Will Klein, who has kept his late-season surge and World Series heroics going in the early part of the […]

Max Muncy keeps hitting, Kiké Hernández feeling healthy

Max Muncy homered in Friday night’s Dodgers win in Anaheim, his team-leading 12th of the season. The third baseman is in his ninth season with Los Angeles and is hitting .275/.372/563 with a 162 wRC+ that ranks seventh in the National League and 2.2 fWAR that is third in the league. Ben Clemens wrote about […]

Blake Snell has loose bodies in elbow, expected to miss a while

The Dodgers starting rotation was the most stable part of their team through the first quarter of the season, but the last week and a half has put a dent in the depth and figures to create some tests over at least the next few weeks. Blake Snell was placed on the injured list on […]

Dodgers slug 3 homers, use 8 pitchers in shutout win over Angels

It was a short trip down the 5 Freeway to Anaheim to start the nine-game road trip, but the Dodgers had to battle on without Blake Snell in the series opener. The bullpen and the offense stepped up to shut down the Angels in the series opener Friday with a 6-0 win. The Dodgers used […]

Dodgers on Deck: Saturday, May 16 at Angels

The Dodgers and Angels continue their weekend series at Angel Stadium in Anaheim with a Saturday matchup with two pitchers who got off to incredible starts this season. Justin Wrobleski made one bulk relief appearance before stepping into the Dodgers rotation, then won his first five starts while allowing two total runs. Even after his […]

Dodgers vs. Angels game I chat

The Dodgers (26-18) travel to Orange County Friday evening to battle the Angels (16-28) for a three-game series at Angel Stadium.  Blake Snell was scratched before his scheduled start and is going on the injured list due to loose bodies in his left elbow. The Dodgers will go with a bullpen game in the series […]

Shohei Ohtani has terrific numbers against former team

While Shohei Ohtani was available to pinch hit on Thursday, his services weren’t required, as for the second game in a row, the Dodgers secured the win with someone other than the National League back-to-back MVP as its designated hitter. The plan was for some rare time off to potentially help the struggling Ohtani (hitter) […]

How would you re-do MLB’s “rivalries?”

It’s Rivalry Weekend or whatever — 15 matchups that I guess link two teams that are supposed to be rivals together. Sometimes, this is inherently fun, like when the teams in question are basically co-located and it’s a battle-for-the-jurisdiction of sorts (Mets-Yankees, Cubs-White Sox, and I guess even Angels-Dodgers, sorta). Sometimes, it’s a bit weirder, […]

Splitting town: Giants slink out of LA with bats between legs

Sometimes a split is healthy. Bad relationships, a thriving stock purchase, ordering a banana-based dessert at an ice cream parlor, your sides at a comedy club. Some splits are bad: Bowling, personalities, the ends of hair, infinitives. The San Francisco Giants going 2-2 on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers falls right in the […]

Dodgers rally to back Emmet Sheehan, beat Giants

The Dodgers scored three runs in the sixth inning to back a strong start by Emmet Sheehan to beat the San Francisco Giants 5-2 on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium and salvage a series split after dropping the first two games. Teoscar Hernández figured prominently on both sides of the ball in and around left […]

5/14 Gamethread: Giants @ Dodgers

The San Francisco Giants wrap up this four-game road series against the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Landen Roupp, who enters tonight’s game with a 3.09 ERA, 2.51 FIP, with 51 strikeouts to 19 walks in 43.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 13-3 […]

Dodgers on Deck: Friday, May 15 at Angels

Had things gone according to plan, Friday would be Blake Snell’s 2026 debut with the Dodgers, who open a series against the Angels on Friday night at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. But instead this will be Snell’s second start of the season. After back spasms sidelined Tyler Glasnow a week ago, the Dodgers approached Snell […]

Rest day for Shohei Ohtani in Dodgers finale vs. Giants

For the first time of 2026, the Dodgers on Thursday won’t have Shohei Ohtani starting for them in any capacity, a planned rest day during the final game against the San Francisco Giants at Dodger Stadium. The decision to have Ohtani not hit on either Wednesday or Thursday came before Tuesday’s game, when Ohtani hit […]

Dodgers minors: Isaac Ayon’s 10 K’s not enough for Ontario

Two outstanding starts and two blowups. There was no middle ground for starters in the Dodgers minor league system, with only the Loons earning a win. Player of the day Sometimes your best isn’t enough, and that was the case for Isaac Ayon, who could only cover five scoreless innings in the matchup between the […]

Dodgers notes: Andrew Friedman worries, Jason Heyward joins front office

The Dodgers offense, something still to be talked about in negative tones. After the second consecutive World Series win, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman told his wife that could alleviate some stress in April and May. His wife didn’t believe him, and his theory has not panned out so far this spring. “I should’ve […]
