Roki Sasaki attempts to emulate earlier success against the Angels

Roki Sasaki’s path in the big leagues has tested the resolve of a player who, before coming to the US, had known nothing but absolute success in his career. Something has clicked during the course of the season, though, for the right-hander to turn a corner in the last month, finishing May with a 3.18 […]

Dodgers minors: Zach Ehrhard’s best game of the season

Plenty of homers but not enough wins as both the Tower Buzzers and Loons got beaten at home. Player of the day For the first time this year, Zach Ehrhard recorded at least three runs and just as many RBI, courtesy of a couple of home runs that helped the Comets earn their 34th win […]

Dodgers notes: Max Muncy, Tanner Scott, Justin Wrobleski

14 days ago against the Milwaukee Brewers, Max Muncy was forced to exit the game after taking a fastball to his wrist. Muncy found himself in another painful situation on Thursday, this time colliding head-first into Diamondbacks first baseman Ildemaro Vargas, forcing him to leave the game in the top of the fifth inning. The […]

Diamondbacks best Dodgers with dramatic late home runs

Not a pitch was thrown with the Dodgers trailing, and yet they found themselves on the losing end of a 3-2 matchup, all thanks to a walk-off solo shot from Ketel Marte off Tanner Scott. Justin Wrobleski did his part by delivering six scoreless innings, but the offense was underwhelming without Shohei Ohtani, and a […]

Dodgers on Deck: Friday, June 5 vs. Angels

The Dodgers are back home ever so briefly, with a single-series homestand this weekend against the Angels at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Back in Anaheim from May 15-17, the Dodgers had their way with the Angels in a three-game sweep, outscoring the Halos 31-3. The Angels come to Los Angeles having lost 29 of […]

Can the Ohtani-less Dodgers handle the Diamondbacks?

Not only are the days of Shohei Ohtani struggling with the bat in 2026 gone, but his overall production makes you question if that was ever an actual period of this season in the first place. Ohtani has particularly enjoyed this series against the Diamondbacks—recording multi-hit performances in each of the first three games, dominating […]

Shohei Ohtani is dominating the Diamondbacks

Not only are the days of Shohei Ohtani struggling with the bat in 2026 gone, but his overall production makes you question if that was ever an actual period of this season in the first place. Ohtani has particularly enjoyed this series against the Diamondbacks—recording multi-hit performances in each of the first three games, dominating […]

Dodgers tell the league to stop whining

Adjectives that come to mind about Dave Roberts in the media are measured, reasoned, and thoughtful. Maybe a bit verbose or circular, especially when it comes to injury updates. The point is that it’s rare when Roberts calls out a player, and it’s usually a doozy when it happens. The anger of the quiet person […]

Dodgers minors: Chase Harlan shines in Ontario win

Tulsa, Great Lakes,, and Ontario all won, with a highlight for the Drillers’ 16-hit effort in a commanding win over the Sod Poodles. Player of the day Now batting .333, Chase Harlan was at the forefront of a winning effort for the Tower Buzzers, managing to hit his eighth home run of the season, anchoring […]

Dalton Rushing & ABS, 6-man rotation bearing fruit

The Dodgers have always been at the forefront of technology and innovation. They have been using their Trajekt Arc pitching machine to help hitters prepare for opposing pitchers. The machine replicates release points and deliveries, while also showing the batter specific pitch characteristics. Dalton Rushing has been below average in challenges to called pitches so […]

Dodgers on Deck: Thursday, June 4 at Diamondbacks

The Dodgers conclude their four-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night at Chase Field in Phoenix. The way the current MLB schedule is formatted, teams play divisional foes 13 times each year, split into four series. That means one four-game series against each divisional opponent. This series is the Dodgers’ third four-game NL […]

Shohei Ohtani day against the Diamondbacks to take control of series

Another Wednesday, that means it must be Ohtani on the bump day. Just a few weeks ago people were wringing their hands about Shohei Ohtani being stellar on the mound, but putrid at the plate. Well, the two-way superstar has definitely turned things around with his bat. In Tuesday night’s game, his first two at […]

Which Dodgers position players will be All-Stars?

Major League Baseball started the All-Star voting process on Wednesday, beginning the campaign for the 2026 All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. The current ballot setup involves two phases, with fan voting for starting position players from June 3-25. From there, the top two players at each position, and the top six outfielders […]

Dodgers minors: Root of many wins is strong pitching

Wins and losses were somewhat overshadowed by a couple of memorable individual performances in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Player of the day It was a toss-up between Zyhir Hope’s six-RBI effort in Double-A and the fabulous start by Zach Root in High-A. Between the two, we’ll go with Root, who shattered his season-high mark […]

Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Bobby Miller, Gavin Stone

The last baseball player to win an MVP award for three consecutive seasons in the same league was Barry Bonds when he won four from 2001-04. With the way that Shohei Ohtani has been playing over the first two months of the season, his chances of winning a third consecutive NL MVP are very much […]

Dodgers find their offense, then hold on to beat Diamondbacks

The Dodgers peppered their offense throughout Tuesday’s game, then rode the high wire as the bullpen recorded the final 13 outs of a 6-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix. After a night with minimal scoring chances, the Dodgers offense wasted no time on Tuesday, with Shohei Ohtani in the middle […]

Dodgers on Deck: Wednesday, June 3 at Diamondbacks

Shohei Ohtani makes his 10th pitching start of the season for the Dodgers on Wednesday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field in Phoenix. Ohtani started once at Chase Field last year with the Dodgers, tossing six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts last September 23. Beginning with that start, Ohtani has pitched at least […]
