Kyle Tucker is heating up in the month of May
There are lofty expectations for anyone that gets signed to a contract with an annual average value of $60 million. In the case of Kyle Tucker, it appeared as though the expectations were too tough to reach throughout the beginning of the season. Tucker was performing at a below league-average rate over his first 33 […]

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 […]

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 […]
Shohei Ohtani’s ERA starts with a zero
While Shohei Ohtani has been struggling at the plate recently, he’s made opposing hitters look even worse. Wednesday night was arguably his best pitching start of the season with seven scoreless innings and eight strikeouts against the San Francisco Giants. Perspective is important with Ohtani, who has legitimately had a rough go of it while […]
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 […]
Shohei Ohtani’s gem helps Dodgers snap four-game losing skid
The Dodgers are back in the win column as they snapped their four-game losing streak behind another dominant performance from Shohei Ohtani on the mound. The Dodgers broke through early and kept their foot on the gas as they shut out the San Francisco Giants for the second time this year, winning on Wednesday by […]
Dodgers on Deck: Thursday, May 14 vs. Giants
LOS ANGELES — For the first time in 2026, Shohei Ohtani will not start at either designated hitter or pitcher for the Dodgers in their series finale against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night at Dodger Stadium. Ohtani has slumped for several weeks, which coupled with the need to manage his two-way workload as […]

Looking for a Ray of hope, Dodgers offense faces star lefty
For mere mortals, an off-day means an off-day, but for Shohei Ohtani, the definition of it is a bit different. For the fourth time this season, the Dodgers will take the field without Ohtani as their designated hitter. If the recent track record serves as an indicator, it’s one of those bad with him and […]
Dodgers aren’t cashing in scoring chances, and aren’t creating them either
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers swept the New York Mets four weeks ago, their second sweep in four series at Dodger Stadium at that point, running their record to 14-4. It feels like a lifetime ago now. The Dodgers also won their next game, the series opener at Coors Field for a 15-4 record. They […]
Dodgers minors: Chris Newell can’t avoid Drillers’ loss
Three one-run losses and a blowout win for the Ontario Tower Buzzers—that’s how the day went in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Player of the day While the first-place Drillers might not have gotten the result they wanted in a loss against the Cardinals, it most certainly didn’t come due to a lack of trying […]
Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki, Charlie Culberson
The Dodgers are now losers of four straight (again) after falling to the San Francisco Giants 6-2 on Tuesday, but Shohei Ohtani was able to bust out of his slump and was the only redeeming factor for the Dodgers. Ohtani went 2-4 with a single, a home run and a walk, recording his first home […]
Dodgers suffer another bad loss to Giants
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are piling up bad losses, and this time the slumping offense had company. Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed three home runs for the first time in Major League Baseball in a 6-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers have lost four consecutive games, all […]

Dodgers will honor Glenn Burke & Billy Bean on Pride Night June 5
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Tuesday announced the details of their annual LGBTQ+ Pride Night, which will be held on Friday, June 5 for the opener of a weekend series against the Angels. Among the highlights is the unveiling a permanent display in the center field plaza at Dodger Stadium for Glenn Burke and […]
Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, May 13 vs. Giants
LOS ANGELES —Game three of the four-game series between the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants comes Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, with a left-handed starting pitcher on the mound for the first (and only scheduled) time in this set. That’s Robbie Ray for San Francisco, with a 2.76 ERA and 4.15 xERA […]
Max Muncy hit another home run against the Giants
LOS ANGELES — Max Muncy hit a home run on Monday against the San Francisco Giants, which might have been expected. The Dodgers third baseman has been hitting the ball hard this season, among the best in baseball, and he already played three games this year against the Giants without hitting a home run. One […]
Curse of the Ortolan
Recently, Eric Stephen made the following observation on BlueSky, referencing the extinct dodo bird in relation to MLB physical tickets. I was going to respond, but then I realized I could channel my inner Brennan Lee Mulligan and tie together a couple of stories I had been meaning to write about, as I stumbled upon […]
Dodgers acquire outfielder Alek Thomas from Diamondbacks
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers on Tuesday acquired center fielder Alek Thomas from the Arizona Diamondbacks for 17-year-old minor league outfielder Jose Requena. The calling card for Thomas is his defense, with 13 career Outs Above Average in center field, though 12 of those came in 2022-23, his first two seasons. At the plate, conversely, […]
Dave Roberts on Dodgers slump: ‘Too much talent and too much desire to keep doing this for much longer’
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers at least had a lead on Monday, which counts as progress for the funk they are in at the moment. It was their first lead since Friday, when they scratched together three runs against Chris Sale in what felt like one of their best wins of the season so far. […]
Dodgers notes: Max Muncy, Shohei Ohtani, René Cárdenas
A busy Monday saw the Dodgers get Mookie Betts back from the injured list after missing five weeks, Alex Freeland got sent down to Triple-A Oklahoma City, and the offense continued to scuffle in a blowout loss to the San Francisco Giants. While we wait to see which day Shohei Ohtani will get a day […]
Struggling Shohei Ohtani won’t hit on one of Wednesday or Thursday
LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani won’t hit in one of the final two games against the San Francisco Giants this week, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts hasn’t yet decided if that will be on Wednesday when Ohtani pitches or on Thursday for what would amount to a mental reset day for the slumping superstar. When […]
