Cody Bellinger Hit By Pitch, Leaves Game Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Cody Bellinger was hit by a pitch on the right knee on Monday and had to leave the game early. He entered the game leading the National League with nine home runs and 22 runs scored, and he had an RBI double in the first inning before his injury. Bellinger tried […]

Rich Hill Hoping For Only One Rehab Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) is hoping to join the major league rotation after his rehab start with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday. It won't be up to Hill ultimately, but it's good to see that he's being optimistic. If the veteran left-hander does only make one rehab start, he'd be unlikely […]

Clayton Kershaw Activated on Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. He will make his season debut versus the Cincinnati Reds following a shoulder issue that caused him to miss the beginning of the season. Kershaw will have a pitch count of 90 on Monday, so DFS players […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 4/15/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

Monday is Boston Marathon Day, which means that the Red Sox will be playing early, hosting the Baltimore Orioles at 11:05 ET.

Russell Martin Ejected During Sunday's Game

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Russell Martin (back) was ejected from Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers for arguing balls and strikes from the dugout. Martin is currently on the 10-day injured list due to lower back inflammation, and he has yet to be cleared for baseball activities. However, his mouth still works just fine, and […]

Alex Verdugo Continues To Rake

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo collected two more hits in Sunday's 7-1 win against the Milwaukee Brewers, including his third home run of the season and three RBI. Verdugo is slashing .343/.343/.714 through 16 games with six extra-base hits and five runs scored. The only thing he isn't doing is drawing walks or stealing […]

Ross Stripling Helps Dodgers End Their Six-Game Skid

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Ross Stripling allowed one earned run, four hits and a walk with three strikeouts over a career-high eight innings to pick up his first victory of the season on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers. He threw 59 of his 88 pitches for strikes, tossing 22 first-pitch strikes to 28 of […]

Rich Hill To Make Rehab Start Wednesday

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) will make a rehab start and go four innings or 60 pitches on Wednesday at either Single-A Rancho Cucamonga or Triple-A Oklahoma City. Hill has yet to make his 2019 debut and will likely need at least two rehab outings before he […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu To Throw Aggressive Bullpen Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) will throw an "aggressive" 40-pitch bullpen session on Monday. Ryu's groin injury isn't too serious, so he should be able to rejoin the Dodgers rotation shortly, barring any setbacks. Once he does, Julio Urias is likely to be moved to the bullpen […]

Justin Turner, Kike Hernandez Resting Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner and second baseman Kike Hernandez are both out of the starting lineup on Sunday. Max Muncy is taking over at third base and is hitting fifth, while Chris Taylor gets the start at the keystone and is batting seventh against Brewers starter Jhoulys Chacin. Alex Verdugo is also […]

Hyun-Jin Ryu Slowly Making Progress

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) was scheduled to throw on flat ground on Saturday and then throw a bullpen session early next week as he works his way back from a strained left groin muscle in his last start. The left-hander was off to a great start, going 2-0 with a 3.07 […]

Rich Hill To Make Rehab Start Next Week

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (knee) is tentatively scheduled to make a four-inning rehab start next Wednesday or Thursday, according to manager Dave Roberts. The veteran southpaw threw a three-inning simulated game on Friday and felt "great." Hill will likely throw a bullpen on Sunday, and it hasn't been decided if his start […]

Week 3 Waiver Wire Watch List

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots. That's why your watch list is just as important as your waiver wire activity, and perhaps even more so. Throughout […]

Caleb Ferguson To Lead Bullpen Game Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Caleb Ferguson will get the start on Saturday against the Brewers in what will be a bullpen game. The Dodgers will attempt to get by in Hyun-Jin Ryu's rotation spot. Ferguson will essentially be the closer and will probably only go a few innings at the most. The left-hander hasn't […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 4/12/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

It’s a funny thing about early in the baseball season. Some trends might just carry on all year, and they are easy to accept, but what do you do when a star stumbles out of the gate? It may be one thing when it’s older guys like Albert Pujols and Robinson Cano because age catches […]

Corey Seager Has Hamstring Contusion

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager left the game early on Thursday with a left hamstring contusion after being hit by a pitch. It doesn't seem to be anything serious enough to keep Seager out of action for an extended period of time, and he could even be back in the […]
