Today’s Reflections I was just wrapping up Cub Tracks for you good folks, checking for mistakes and broken links, giving the news feed one last refresh— I (and probably a lot of Cub fans) feel like they are standing on the precipice of either the second World Series appearance in a decade (the Dodgers just […]
Tyler Glasnow left his start after only one inning, but the Dodgers’ struggling offense picked up the slack in a cathartic 12-2 bludgeoning of the Houston Astros on Wednesday afternoon getaway day at Daikin Park in Houston. Held to only one run in Tuesday night’s loss, the Dodgers were just 2-3 on the road trip, […]
It’s been four weeks since the Dodgers won a road series, and they’ll need a win on getaway day Wednesday in Houston to snap that skid. Wednesday game info
TODAY’S GAME: The Houston Astros (15-22) and Los Angeles Dodgers (22-14) will play the rubber game of their three-game series today in an afternoon matinee at Daikin Park. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (2-2, 6.32 ERA), who picked up the win in his last start on April 20 at BAL (3ER/6IP), will make his seventh start […]
The Dodgers haven’t had a good road trip since the first week of April. But after their malaise through St. Louis and Houston, the Dodgers will return home to Los Angeles with a tall task at hand — facing the Atlanta Braves, owners of the best record in baseball, at 26-11 through Tuesday. Emmet Sheehan […]
The first of the 10 Dodgers to open the season on the injured list has been activated, with reliever Brock Stewart joining the team in Houston on Wednesday ahead of the series finale against the Astros at Daikin Park. Stewart was slowed this spring after right shoulder debridement surgery late last September. In eight rehab […]
In the first of two straight days with only three games across the Dodgers’ four minor league affiliates due to postponements, only the Ontario Tower Buzzers came out on the winning end of their matchup. Player of the day It’s only natural that the choice for player of the day would come from the Ontario […]
We are now over a month into the first season of what Shohei Ohtani can do on both sides of the field throughout the whole year as a Dodger. Ohtani is seemingly back to his pre-injury, Cy Young award contending form on the mound, as he’s coming off a dominant month of April where he […]
Shohei Ohtani pitched his deepest into a game in three seasons, but got very little offensive support in the Dodgers’ 2-1 loss to the Houston Astros on Tuesday night at Daikin Park. Ohtani was efficient on the mound with eight strikeouts and no walks. Not only did he record an out in the seventh inning […]
The Dodgers conclude their road trip with a daytime start against the Houston Astros on Wednesday at Daikin Park. This will be the third consecutive daytime getaway day start for Tyler Glasnow, who led the Dodgers in strikeouts (47) and innings (38 2/3) through the end of April. He has a 1.83 ERA and 37-percent […]

TONIGHT’S GAME: The Houston Astros (14-22) will try to even up their three-game series with the rival Los Angeles Dodgers (22-13) tonight in a Cinco De Mayo matchup at Daikin Park. RHP Peter Lambert (1-2, 3.52 ERA) will get the start for the Astros, his fourth of the season, opposite RHP Shohei Ohtani (2-1, 0.60 […]
Dodgers minor league right-hander Patrick Copen had a strong 2025 season, and started his 2026 season on a heater. On Tuesday, Copen was named Texas League pitcher of the month for April after a strong start for Double-A Tulsa. Copen had a 0.96 ERA, 2.72 FIP, and 3.69 xFIP in five starts for the Drillers, […]
The National League pitcher of the month for March/April, who walked twice, drove in a run and scored a pair of runs as a hitter in Monday’s series opener at Daikin Park, makes his first pitching start of May on Tuesday night against the Houston Astros. Shohei Ohtani has allowed only four runs to date […]
Brock Stewart rejoined the Dodgers in Houston after his three weeks on a minor league rehab assignment. He did not get activated Monday, after pitching on Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but will likely end his injured-list stint at some point during this series against the Astros. That means one pitcher will be optioned to […]
Exactly one Dodgers minor leaguer won a player or pitcher of the week award in each week of the 2026 season to date. For the week of April 27-May 3, High-A Great Lakes outfielder Mike Sirota was named Midwest League player of the week after running roughshod over Peoria. Sirota had a three-homer doubleheader last […]
The home run drought is over, and it only took facing one of the shakiest pitching staffs in baseball for it to happen, as the Dodgers thoroughly outhit Houston in an 8-3 win. It was a win with the particularly sweet taste of seeing Kyle Tucker leave the yard in his old stomping grounds, hitting […]

TONIGHT’S GAME: The Houston Astros (14-21) will wear their City Connect uniforms tonight as they welcome in the rival Los Angeles Dodgers (21-13) for the first game of a three-game series at Daikin Park. Veteran reliever LHP Steven Okert (0-0, 4.20 ERA) will get the start for the Astros as an opener tonight opposite the […]
Shohei Ohtani was thought to be back pulling double duty on Tuesday night against the Houston Astros, both starting on the mound at Daikin Park and serving as the designated hitter. He didn’t bat in two of his first five pitching starts, including last Tuesday, as the Dodgers try to find avenues of rest whenever […]
The Dodgers managed to avoid a sweep against the Cardinals with a win on Sunday, facing a familiar face in Dustin May, but overall, the offense won’t have fond memories of their time in St. Louis, averaging 2.33 runs a game. For the second week in a row, Yoshinobu Yamamoto will face a favorable matchup […]
The Dodgers’ last home run came on April 26 against the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium, a seventh-inning blast by Shohei Ohtani that snapped his own string of 59 plate appearances without a long ball. The Dodgers have batted 232 times since then without another home run. Their last six full games with no home […]
Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani has six player of the month honors in his career, but on Monday he won his first career pitcher of the month award, taking home top National League honors for his excellent mound work in March and April. Ohtani allowed only four total runs, two of them earned in his […]
The Dodgers offense reached its nadir to date in 2026 last week, failing to hit a home run in any of their six games, losing four — two each to the Miami Marlins and St. Louis Cardinals. It’s the longest home run drought for Los Angeles in a dozen years. Batter of the week The […]
When Major League Baseball released the schedule on August 26th for this upcoming season, the “Dodgers at Daikin” became the most anticipated series for many Astros fans, myself included. The moment is finally here, and to lend the opposing perspective, we catch up with Los Angeles Dodgers Announcer Tim Neverett. Q: When you hit the […]
