Dodgers Week 8: Shohei Ohtani rests, then shines in winning streak
The Dodgers last week lost Blake Snell to the injured list, with the left-hander set for surgery this Tuesday to remove loose bodies in his left elbow. This came after Tyler Glasnow was sidelined the week before with back spasms. Losses on the field mounted too, including Monday and Tuesday to the San Francisco Giants, […]
Zyhir Hope homers twice for Tulsa, OKC romps in Albuquerque
All four Dodgers minor league affiliates won on Saturday, with offense driving the show. Player of the day Zyhir Hope hit a pair of two-run home runs in Tulsa’s win, giving him three home runs over the last two days. It’s the third career two-homer game for Hope, who this week in MLB Pipeline’s updated […]
Dodgers notes: Roki Sasaki, Eric Lauer, Ross Stripling
Roki Sasaki had his best MLB start to date on Sunday, issuing no walks and striking out eight in seven innings to beat the Angels in Anaheim, allowing just one run along the way. Sasaki has tinkered with his pitch mix this season, adding a faster version of his split-fingered fastball while also throwing a […]
National League West report: Feasting on American League

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

Blake Snell’s return from injury lasted just six days as the left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start on Friday.

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 […]

Ben Clemens wrote about […]

On May 14, Josh Peter of USA Today broke the story that Edwin Diaz was allegedly involved in cockfighting in his native Puerto Rico. Mr. Peter’s report named Diaz, along with his brother, former Dodgers reliever Alexis Diaz, and top horse racing jockeys Jose Ortiz and Irad Ortiz, Jr., as participants in cockfighting in Puerto […]
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

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) […]
