Dodgers activate Dalton Rushing, option Alex Freeland

The Dodgers on Friday activated Dalton Rushing from the injured list on Friday as expected, in a last-ditch effort to get him some potential pinch-hitting opportunities to prepare for what would be his role if he’s active at all in October. Naturally, Rushing did not pinch-hit on Friday, a 2-0 Dodgers in over the San […]

Dodgers notes: Tarik Skubal, Josue De Paula, front office rankings

Wrapping up a dominant regular season against losing teams

Visiting the Giants in their final regular-season series, it should be noted that it was through beating up the lower class of the NL and AL as well that the Dodgers built their way towards a 97-win record.

End of the beginning

As the Dodgers embark on their final series of the regular season, let us revisit the last series where both the Dodgers won and Shohei Ohtani had an RBI, which happened to be with my mother in Denver. We’ve had a lot of fun this year, and the campaign flew by. Before I knew it, […]

Eric Lauer and other recent Dodgers regular-season helpers

The success of a dominant team over a lengthy period like the Dodgers’ relies on an adaptability to work your way through multiple iterations of a roster. While in the postseason you can find success in different ways, one aspect of regular-season success is how you handle injuries, particularly for a team as cautious as […]

Dodgers postseason roster decisions remaining

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are in the postseason, we know they will start their quest for a third straight championship in October 3 with the National League Division Series. So let’s figure out how their postseason roster will shake out. First, a caveat: each round has its own roster. The Dodgers will submit a […]

Dodgers minors: Comets fly over Aviators to secure PCL title

How about your already championship-caliber team receiving the boost of one of baseball’s top prospects with their backs against the wall, fighting for the title in the highest level of minor-league ball?

The Dodgers ended their final homestand on a whimper, as they managed to scratch across just two late runs against the San Diego Padres in a 4-2 loss on Thursday.

Meeting the Padres in the last home game before the playoffs

After this matchup, the next time the Dodgers play at home, it will likely be hosting the winner of the WC series between the third- and sixth-place teams, and the theme of this game against the Friars is one. Having split the first two games of this series, the Dodgers are still one win away […]

Dodgers minors: A Knack for coming up clutch

It was a win-or-go-home game for the Comets, and they live to fight another day after dominating the Aviators in Game 2 of the Championship Series in a 7-2 victory. Player of the Day While Zach Ehrhard and James Tibbs III led the way with the bat, it was Landon Knack’s outstanding work as a […]

Dodgers notes: Postseason bullpen in a good spot

Tuesday night’s game against the San Diego Padres was reminiscent of the 2024 playoffs when the Dodgers were forced to employ a bullpen in the NLDS to keep their playoff hopes alive against those same Padres. Both outcomes were the same, with the bullpen shutting down the Friars and getting a big win. That postseason […]
