Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, June 10 at Pirates
Shohei Ohtani is back on the mound for the Dodgers in the middle game of the series against the Pirates at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Ohtani has allowed seven total runs (five earned) in his 10 starts, and in none of his 61 innings has allowed multiple runs. His 0.74 ERA is best in the […]
Dodgers face tough task vs. Paul Skenes in Pirates opener
The Dodgers haven’t lost two games in a row in four weeks, but that run of success will be put to a tough test in Tuesday night’s series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. In a week in which they scored nine runs in one inning — their biggest frame since 2021 — […]
Zach Root wins Midwest League pitcher of the week
Zach Root, the Dodgers first draft pick in 2025, has been on quite a run for the last three weeks, culminating in winning Midwest League pitcher of the week on Monday after his best start yet as a professional for High-A Great Lakes. Root last Tuesday allowed only one single in seven innings with nine […]
Dodgers notes – trade rumors and All-Star picks
As Major League Baseball heads into the heart of summer, two things are appearing on the horizon – the All-Star break and the trade deadline. The Dodgers will most likely send more than a few players to Philadelphia. Jim Bowden of The Athletic has his early picks out. Shohei Ohtani would be chosen as designated […]
Ghosts, Slides, and a dead Legend’s Chair in Cream City
The travels of the de facto Traveling Correspondent have begun, and we are now sorting through the highlights and lowlights of the experiences while providing in-person coverage for True Blue LA during the 2026 season. Admittedly, I have a bit of a nostalgic soft spot in my heart for Cream City. All those years ago, […]
A winning week bookended by losses, Shohei Ohtani does it all
The Dodgers had a winning week, taking four of seven games, by splitting with the Diamondbacks in Arizona, then winning two of three at home against the Angels. But they both started and ended the week with losses, frustrating in different ways. On Monday in Phoenix, they were burned by a lack of offense. On […]
Mike Sirota & Zyhir Hope power Tulsa doubleheader sweep
Evan Phillips pitched a scoreless inning on Sunday in his second rehab game for Triple-A Oklahoma City, as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery just over a year ago. Phillips got the ball in the eighth inning against Round Rock, then struck out his first batter, walked his second, and induced a […]
Angels storm back with dominant 13-5 win over Dodgers
Needing one win to secure the sweep, the Dodgers had to use their bullpen much earlier than expected and were outclassed offensively in a 13-5 loss to the Angels. After a 14-pitch first inning, Emmet Sheehan started the top of the second with a strikeout of Nolan Schanuel, but the Angels strung across a one-out […]

Eduardo Quintero breaks Great Lakes on-base streak record
Getting on base was the name of the game for two highly-regarded Dodgers outfield prospects on Saturday. Player of the day Great Lakes matched their season high with 16 runs, so there were plenty of candidates. But we’ll go with Eduardo Quintero, who has been simmering for quite some time. The top-100 prospect doubled twice, […]
Josue De Paula, Chase Harlan win May minor league player of the month
Catching up on some minor league news on a Sunday morning, earlier this week a pair of Dodgers minor leaguers won player of the month awards for May.

Dodgers notes: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Andy Pages, Will Smith
The Dodgers starting pitching has been nearly unhittable this week, and the trend continued on Saturday with Yoshinobu Yamamoto tossing a season-high eight innings against the Angels. Although Yamamoto couldn’t compare to Roki Sasaki’s 10 strikeouts from the game before, Yamamoto retired 22 hitters in a row and had a comfortable eight-run lead to work […]
Dodgers 9-run first has Yoshinobu Yamamoto in cruise control
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers had their best scoring inning in five years in yet another lopsided defeat of the Angels, 9-2 on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.

Tyler Glasnow moved to 60-day injured list, Dodgers add Nick Frasso to 40-man roster
LOS ANGELES — It’s been one month since Tyler Glasnow’s last start, and now it will be at least one month until he pitches again for the Dodgers. The right-hander was moved to the 60-day injured list on Saturday, as his back issues have proved to be a larger setback than originally thought. Glasnow left […]

Dodgers walk-off home runs to win a 1-0 game
Scoring was at a premium in Friday night’s series opener, with both Roki Sasaki and Reid Detmers permitting nothing crossing home plate on their watch. It took until the ninth inning, when Freddie Freeman took old friend Kirby Yates deep for the only run of the game, and a walk-off winner. It was Freeman’s fifth […]

You can listen to this interview in audio form on the Three-Inning Save podcast. Nelson has […]

Player of the day Tulsa third baseman Jake Gelof homered twice and doubled on Friday night, part of his three-hit, three-run, three-RBI night. Gelof has driven in runs in seven straight games. […]
Roki Sasaki, Shohei Ohtani continue to impress
Roki Sasaki did not figure in the decision on Friday night, through no fault of his own as he struck out his MLB-high 10 Angels in seven scoreless frames. The right-hander has allowed five total runs (four earned) over 24 1/3 innings in his last four starts, with 29 strikeouts against only five walks. You […]
