Gavin Stone Looks Great Again

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone had another very good outing on Sunday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball against the Tampa Bay Rays. Stone recorded seven strikeouts while allowing just three hits and two walks. After a rough stretch in July and early August, Stone has turned things around in his last three […]

Shohei Ohtani Avoids Serious Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (forearm) was taken for X-rays after getting hit by a pitch during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The good news is that the X-rays were negative, which means Ohtani has likely avoided any serious injuries. Possibly, the Dodgers decide to hold out Ohtani for a day […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto To Pitch In Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto (shoulder) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday. It was already announced that Yamamoto was going to start on Wednesday, but the location was unknown until now. The 26-year-old is only expected to work two innings during his first outing. It sounds […]

Will Smith Taking A Seat On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith will be taking a seat in Sunday's series finale as the Dodgers play the final game of a three-game set against the Tampa Bay Rays. Instead, Hunter Feduccia will get the starting nod, as the typical backup catcher Austin Barnes (toe), is currently on the 10-day injured list. Smith […]

Shohei Ohtani Hits 41st Home Run On Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani joined the 40/40 club on Friday, but did not slow down one bit the day after achieving that feat, going 2-for-4 with his 41st home run of the season in Saturday's 9-8 extra-innings loss to the Rays.

Tyler Glasnow Plays Catch Saturday, Team Confident Of Return This Season

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow (elbow) played catch from 60 feet on Saturday, a key step as he fights to return from elbow tendinitis. Originally, manager Dave Roberts said he expected the ace to miss only the minimum of 15 days, but that will not happen. The timeline now appears to be two to […]

Shohei Ohtani Joins 40/40 Club With Walk-Off Grand Slam

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani went 2-for-5 in Friday's 7-3 win over the Rays.

This past week, I did something in one of my fantasy leagues that I have never done before. I picked up a 2-start pitcher, Martin Perez, to NOT play him. I picked him up so other teams in my league could not get him, and the possibility of teams chasing me, getting two wins this […]

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (8/24/24) - Today's Top Lineups

We have a sliced and diced main slate on both sites today with only seven games out of the 15 available to us. I'm okay with that since seven games is about the sweet spot anyway. Still, it's only half of the behemoth that we had last night. This article will provide my daily fantasy […]

Yoshinobu Yamamoto To Pitch In Rehab Game Next Wednesday

If all goes well with his next bullpen session, Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (triceps) will start a minor-league rehab game next Wednesday and go two innings. Yamamoto has been out since June 15, so he's going to need at least several rehab starts before he's stretched out sufficiently and ready to rejoin the […]

Miguel Rojas Returns To The Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The veteran infielder is making his return after being scratched from Wednesday's game due to a left hamstring issue. The 35-year-old will cover shortstop and bat seventh versus left-hander Tyler Alexander on Friday. […]

Max Muncy Taking A Seat Versus Southpaw

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It's uncertain if Muncy is sitting because of a left-hander being on the mound or if this is a routine rest day. Obviously, Muncy will have limited fantasy value if he continues to […]
