Christian Zazueta has best Double-A start yet
Three of four Dodgers minor league affiliates won on Friday. Player of the day Right-hander Christian Zazueta, the Dodgers’ top pitching prospect, had his best start since getting promoted to Double-A, with eight strikeouts in six scoreless innings for Tulsa on Friday night in Corpus Christi. Zazueta in seven starts in Double-A has a 3.30 […]
Dodgers notes: Edwin Díaz, Tarik Skubal, Blake Snell
The Dodgers came tantalizingly close to a win on Friday night, but Edwin Díaz saw a slider deposited over the wall for a two-run home run, turning a one-run lead into a stunning walk-off loss to the Diamondbacks. After the Dodgers’ seventh straight loss, manager Dave Roberts talked about Díaz, who since returning from the […]
Arizona walk-off: Dodgers’ misery continues with 7th straight loss
The Dodgers (69-47) dropped their seventh straight game to the D-backs (62-55) Friday night. They still have yet to notch a win in the month of August. Despite a solid six-inning start from Roki Sasaki, a big night from Tommy Edman with the game-tying hit, and a huge Andy Pages homer, the Dodgers once again […]
Dodgers vs. D-backs game chat

Dodgers on Deck: Saturday, August 8 at Diamondbacks
The Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks continue their weekend matchup on Saturday with the middle game of this weekend series at Chase Field in Phoenix. Yoshinobu Yamamoto had his worst start of the season on July 11 against the Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium, allowing six runs in six innings. He’s allowed six runs in his three […]
Defending historical dominance against Merrill Kelly
For a brief period last season, Merrill Kelly defended a team other than the Diamondbacks for the first time in his career, and to anyone who follows the NL West closely, it felt unusual. Now back where he broke through as a big leaguer at 30 years of age in 2019, Kelly hadn’t had the […]
Dodgers minors: Mike Sirota reaches base a season-high five times
Splitting four games on the road, the two higher levels took the win while the Loons and Tower Buzzers were both beaten. Player of the day Getting better at a higher level isn’t normal, at least not unless your name is Mike Sirota, who has taken his in-season promotion to Double-A in stride, absolutely thriving […]
Dodgers notes: Gavin Stone, Shohei Ohtani, playoff roster
So far this season, Yoshinobu Yamamoto is once again leading the Dodgers in pitching wins after he led the team last year. Two years ago, right-hander Gavin Stone was tied for the team lead in wins during the regular season, but he’s still yet to take the mound for the team since. Stone had his […]
The Summer Swoon is here
Getting thumped by the jewelbox teams is never fun, but alas, on this off day, we revisit something that has been on my mind for a while. Eric Stephen has an excellent summary of the Dodgers’ skids over the past few years. I have some firsthand experience on the subject. You know what’s worse than […]
Feared as baseball’s best, Dodgers are playing their worst
For all the hemming and hawing over the Dodgers ruining baseball by accumulating many of the best players in the sport, they sure aren’t playing like it right now. They’ve gotten swept for two series in a row, looking more like a team who will have to play a wild card series rather than have […]
Dodgers minors: Charles Davalan can’t be stopped in High-A
With two teams scoring 12 or more, and the other two scoring three or fewer runs, it was a day of extremes across the Dodgers minor-league affiliates. Player of the day Setting the tone as the leadoff batter, Charles Davalan provided a three-hit performance in a 13-run effort for the Loons on the road. Outstanding […]
Christian Zazueta, Charles Davalan among Dodgers prospects on the rise
Baseball America updated its top 100 prospects now that the trade deadline has passed. The Dodgers have six prospects in the top 100, and that’s without No. 39 Zyhir Hope, now with the Detroit Tigers courtesy of the Tarik Skubal trade. Of note in the six Dodgers prospects in the BA top 100 are Christian […]

Dalton Rushing has torn UCL in right elbow
Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing went from minor arm irritation to the injured list with elbow inflammation, to now a slight tear in his ulnar collateral ligament that will sideline him for at least a month.

Dodgers minors: Josue De Paula continues terrific campaign
High-scoring games across the board in the Dodgers minor league system, with no team scoring or allowing fewer than six runs in any of the four games. Also worth noting, both Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow made rehab starts. Player of the day Although he played for the only one of the four minor league […]
Dodgers notes: Tarik Skubal, Kyle Tucker, Mookie Betts
The entire baseball world turned their collective heads towards the city of Chicago on Tuesday, as the Dodgers debuted their shiniest new addition. Tarik Skubal took the mound for the first time in Dodger blue after being dealt from the Detroit Tigers late Saturday night. While Skubal finished with a quality start— six innings, two […]
Dodgers waste Tarik Skubal’s debut, drop 5th straight
Tarik Skubal had a perfectly fine Dodgers debut with six strikeouts in six strong innings. But the Dodgers couldn’t score much at all, while the Cubs offense did just enough off Skubal then teed off on the bullpen in a 5-1 win at Wrigley Field, the season-worst fifth straight loss for the Dodgers. Skubal allowed […]
Blake Snell labors through fourth rehab start
Blake Snell took another step toward rejoining the Dodgers starting rotation on Tuesday night, pitching 3 2/3 innings in his fourth and potentially final minor league rehab start, this time for Triple-A Oklahoma City on the road to face the Salt Lake Bees, and Angels affiliate. This was a labored effort for Snell, who allowed […]

Dodgers activate Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia
Both Will Smith and Dalton Rushing are on the injured list, and Ben Rortvedt has come to the Dodgers rescue yet again, this time from not only off the 40-man roster but also from a different team. One day after the Dodgers’ acquired Rortvedt from the New York Mets, they selected him to the major […]
Dodgers try to wake up from Wrigley Field nightmares
The Dodgers turn to Tarik Skubal on Tuesday night, looking for something they haven’t gotten a Wrigley Field in a long time — actual run prevention. The Dodgers have lost five of their last six games at the unfriendly confines in Chicago, dating back to the start of 2024. Monday night’s 10-5 drubbing was more […]
Tyler Glasnow throws 2 scoreless innings in first rehab start
Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow pitched in a game for the first time in 80 days on Tuesday, starting a minor league rehab assignment with the Class-A Ontario Tower Buzzers.
