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 […]
Off day for the bullpen exposes Dodgers’ lineup struggles
As Roki Sasaki and Trevor McDonald took different paths to deliver extremely similar results—Sasaki navigating through far less traffic than McDonald—it was up to the bullpens to decide this game, and the Giants’ one proved superior on the evening, securing a 9-3 win to open up this four-game set at Dodger Stadium. Hanging splitters and […]

René Cárdenas, longtime Dodgers Spanish-language announcer, dies
René Cárdenas, the Dodgers first Spanish-language play-by-play broadcaster when they moved to Los Angeles, died on Sunday at age 96. Cárdenas started with the Dodgers in 1958, and helped train Jaime Jarrín, who joined him in the booth one year later. After four years in Los Angeles, Cárdenas moved to the expansion Houston Colt .45s, […]
Dodgers on Deck: Tuesday, May 12 vs. Giants
Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound on Tuesday night for the Dodgers against the Giants, looking to avenge one of his two losses this season. Yamamoto pitched seven innings on April 21 in San Francisco but took the loss after allowing three runs, all of them in the first inning. The opening frame is the worst […]
Mookie Betts hoping to return to normal after long wait
LOS ANGELES — For the first time in 37 days, Mookie Betts is back in the starting lineup, batting second for the Dodgers on Monday night against the San Francisco Giants. In between was a lot of waiting, still hampered by his strained right oblique. “I didn’t realize how long it takes to really heal. […]
Dodgers option Alex Freeland with Mookie Betts activated
LOS ANGELES — For the first time since April 4, the Dodgers have Mookie Betts back after he missed 32 games with a strained oblique. To make room on the active roster, Alex Freeland was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Betts is batting second for the Dodgers on Friday night. Betts played two rehab games […]
Things to overreact to in the first 40 games of the season
Before I left for St. Louis and Houston, Eric Stephen posed a question that we as a staff had previously asked at the beginning of the season: How many games will the Dodgers win this season? At the conclusion of play on April 28th, the day of the follow-up question, the Dodgers dropped to 20-10 […]
Mookie Betts returns to lineup as Dodgers host Giants
Another Monday, another post wondering when the Dodgers offense will find itself. After grinding out three runs in a win against Chris Sale, he who had only allowed that many in his last four starts combined, they only mustered exactly two runs in the last two games of the series with the Braves. Both runs […]
Dodgers Week 7: Hitting malaise & cracks in pitching armor
The good news is that, unlike last week the Dodgers did hit a home run this week, eight of them in fact. But outside of two solid hitting games in Houston, the offense was mostly shut down in the other four games, leading to a split of six games against the Houston Astros and Atlanta […]
Jose Meza, Brooks Auger shine in Great Lakes win
Dodgers affiliates fought multiple opponents on Sunday — opposing offenses, and rain. Player of the day Great Lakes right fielder Jose Meza was in the middle of all three scoring innings for the Loons in Sunday’s win. He walked with the bases loaded in the third inning, hit a two-run double in the fourth, then […]
Dodgers decision time coming with Mookie Betts returning
With Mookie Betts set to be activated off the injured list on Monday after missing over five weeks with a strained oblique, the Dodgers have a decision to make — either option one of Alex Freeland or Hyeseong Kim, or designate veteran Santiago Espinal for assignment. Bill Plunkett at the Orange County Register looked at […]
National League West report: Pitching injuries & roster shakeups
A busy week in the National League West was marked by a few All-Star starting pitchers getting sidelined, and a few roster shakeups among the under-.500 teams in the division. San Francisco Giants ace Logan Webb, who led the National League in innings pitched in each of the last three seasons, including leading the majors […]
Mookie Betts is back. What Dodgers lineup changes would you make?
Mookie Betts is coming back from the injured list on Monday, after missing over five weeks with a strained oblique. He returns to a Dodgers lineup that is struggling, averaging just 3.89 runs per game over the last 18 games (eighth-worst in MLB) with a lowly 89 wRC+. The Dodgers plan to ease Betts back […]
Dodgers drop series to Braves, lose 7-2 again
