Max Muncy Hits Two Homers Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Max Muncy went 3-for-4 with two homers and three RBI in the Dodgers win over the Rockies Thursday.

Cody Bellinger Dealing With Sore Knee

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger (knee) was removed from the game Wednesday after two at-bats. Manager Dave Roberts said the move was precautionary to preserve Bellinger for a four-game weekend series at Colorado. Bellinger has been dealing with a sore knee patella tendon and sat out Tuesday's game before today's early exit. The […]

Felipe Vazquez A Target in Trade Talks

It is being reported by Jon Morosi that the Los Angeles Dodgers have interest in Pittsburgh Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez. While he would be a huge help to the backend of the Dodgers bullpen, this move would come at a cost for Vazquez's fantasy value as he would be expected to be used in a […]

Digging Deeper: NL-Only Waiver Report for Week 13

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Kenley Jansen Nails Down His 23rd Save In Road Win

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen worked around a single while striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday in Arizona as he secured his 23rd save of the season.

David Freese Hasn't Resumed Baseball Activities

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman David Freese (hamstring) has yet to resume baseball activities, and he is still receiving just treatment for his left hamstring strain. Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that he is hopeful Freese will be back after the All-Star break, perhaps sooner. Fantasy owners will want to keep him reserved in all […]

Kike Hernandez Cranks His Sixth Leadoff Home Run

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman/outfielder Kike Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 road win against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Dodgers Could Look To Trade For Will Smith

The Los Angeles Dodgers aren't ruling out a potential trade to acquired San Francisco Giants closer Will Smith, according to a source. The National League West rivals haven't gotten together for a trade since 2007. Even on a bad Giants team in 2019, Smith has been excellent for fantasy owners with a 2.01 ERA, 0.77 […]

Corey Seager Doing Baseball Activities

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager (hamstring) said that he took ground balls and ran on Monday for the first time since injuring his hamstring. He was also scheduled to take flips in the cage for the first time. Seager has high-end fantasy potential at the shortstop position, but injuries have held him back the […]

Ross Stripling Starting On Tuesday Against The Diamondbacks

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Ross Stripling will start Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. With Rich Hill (forearm) sidelined, the Dodgers needed another arm to join the rotation.
