Episodes
Shohei Ohtani already has more home runs in any three-year period in Dodgers history, and there is still half of 2026 yet to be played. The Dodgers star on Monday in Minnesota hit his 17th home run of this season, giving him 126 home runs since the start of 2024. That’s one more than Duke Snider’s previous franchise record of 125 home runs, hit in overlapping three-year periods from 1954-56 and 1955-57.
More Dodgers injuries came this week, when Kyle Tucker left Monday’s game with back spasms and won’t return until this weekend at the earliest. Dalton Rushing took a foul tip off the mask and missed nearly two games before returning Wednesday.
Catcher Will Smith didn’t travel with the team on its 9-game road trip, which means July 2 is his earliest possible date back. On a more positive note, ou...
Shohei Ohtani is dealing with inflammation in his left knee that isn’t going away, but he’s still found a way to be productive, including hitting a game-winning home run on Tuesday.
Ohtani on Wednesday gave up a four-run inning, just the second multi-run frame against him all season. But he still completed six innings in the win, something he’s done in 11 of his 12 starts. The blister on his right hand has ...
A closer look at Max Muncy’s 2026 season, during which he has been arguably the best third baseman in the National League, and in line for a potential third All-Star Game appearance.
Muncy leads all NL third basemen in home runs (16), runs scored (46), on-base percentage (.371), slugging percentage (.532), OPS (.903), wRC+ (151), Outs Above Average (+5), and FanGraphs WAR (2.9). His 225 home runs with the D...
For the second time in 10 months, Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto lost a no-hitter in the ninth inning. This time, on Saturday in Chicago, he flirted with perfection in a win over the White Sox, retiring his first 23 batters faced.
Yamamoto is the first Dodgers pitcher to lose two no-hitters in the ninth inning. Coupled with his previous start, his 45 consecutive batters retired was one shy of Yusmeiro Petit’s major league rec...
We take a look at the Dodgers upcoming schedule, which includes their two longest road trips of the year within a 5-week span. Couple that with a June slate that has only nine home games, we are in a road-heavy pocket of the schedule.
Plus, putting the recent mound exploits of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, and Roki Sasaki into perspective, a look at the success of the Dodgers’ six-man rotation, and the...
The Dodgers moved Tyler Glasnow to the 60-day injured list over the weekend, pushing back his timeline for returning from back spasms until July 6 at the absolute earliest. Glasnow has been shut down from throwing.
With Glasnow and Blake Snell out, we compare the Dodgers rotation this year to 2025, when those two were injured midseason but returned by August, giving the team a big four starters they rode to a championship in Octobe...
We are a little more than a month from the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, so we take a look at various Dodgers who might play for Dave Roberts and the National League team at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Shohei Ohtani is a lock for the All-Star team, whether he’s voted as the starting designated hitter or not. He should make the team as both a DH and a pitcher for the first time since 2021 in Colorado.
We talk to Dodgers play-by-play announcer Stephen Nelson about his four years calling games in Los Angeles on television and radio, and much more about his process, the team, and more.
Nelson joined the Dodgers broadcast team in 2023, and has called games on both SportsNet LA television and KLAC AM 570 radio for four seasons. He shared his gameday routine, from the time he arrives at the ballpark through the end of the game.
Catching up on the first roughly third of the 2026 season for the Dodgers, who are atop the National League West as expected, despite injuries to Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell, Edwin Díaz, Mookie Betts and others.
Shohei Ohtani is excelling at both the plate and on the mound in his first full two-way season since 2023. Andy Pages is having a breakout season both at the plate and playing exceptional center field. Max Muncy is having a ...
