Shohei Ohtani (and Glasnow and Snell) could be back on Dodgers’ mound sooner than expected
The most important pitches for the Dodgers on Tuesday came long before the start of their game that night. In the second of a key three-game series against the San Diego Padres, the Dodgers found themselves in an uncomfortably familiar position: Lacking an available starting pitcher amid a wave of early-season injuries, and turning instead…
Clayton Kershaw earns his first win of 2025 as Dodgers beat Cardinals
ST. LOUIS — The Dodgers have sent Clayton Kershaw to the mound to give a slumping team a lift countless times during his 18-year career. And they’ve rarely been disappointed.

Shohei Ohtani thought he was ‘in trouble’ before prank
The last time Shohei Ohtani thought he might be in trouble was when his name was linked to a federal investigation into illegal sports gambling in March 2024.

Dodgers injury update: Mookie Betts nears return, Tyler Glasnow stalls
The Dodgers’ lineup should be back at full strength soon. When they’ll be able to say the same about their pitching staff is anyone’s guess. First, the good news for the team: After fracturing the fourth toe on his left foot (the one closest to the pinky toe) last week and missing all three games…
Missed chance to sweep Yankees leaves Dodgers in precarious spot
The desperation of a toasted Dodger Stadium made itself abundantly clear Sunday in the fourth inning of a sunburn against the New Yankees. With mighty Yankee Aaron Judge huffing and puffing at the plate, a lone insistent chant emerged from a Dodger fan lurking in the shadows. “Ko-be! Ko-be! Ko-be!” Sorry. Nice try. But on…

Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips is scheduled to get Tommy John surgery next week and will miss the rest of the season, manager Dave Roberts announced Friday.
