Perhaps odd to say, but the Dodgers rolled into Opening Day across MLB with a 2-0 record thanks to their Japan Series mini-sweep over the Cubs, and they picked up where they left off against the Tigers. The Dodgers scored all their runs on homers from Tommy Edman, Teoscar Hernandez, and Shohei Ohtani in a 5-4 victory. The domestic Opening …

After starting the season and the Japan Series on a nice note, the Dodgers got right back to business with Roki Sasaki making his much-anticipated MLB debut. They put some runs on the board for him early, and despite control issues, he did exit with the lead. Shohei Ohtani gave the crowd what they wanted with his first homer, and …

While everything about the Japan Series seems to have been a fun experience, the baseball-related stuff started ominously, as the team is already missing Mookie Betts due to illness, and then a half-hour before the game they had to scratch Freddie Freeman. Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was scratched from today’s lineup with left rib discomfort.— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) …

(Photo: Jon SooHoo) Before the season officially begins, there’s some quality insight to read in here. ====== The Athletic: Top prospect Dalton Rushing is currently being tested, arguably more off the field than on it as a part of finishing school from the Dodgers. He must stand in front of a room of assembled All-Stars and veteran coaches and guide …

(Via @Dodgers) The Dodgers leave for Tokyo today to prepare for the Japan Series against the Cubs starting on March 18. They will have to get down to 26 active players by then, but that roster will almost certainly look a lot different from the Opening Day around the MLB on March 27. A month ago, I tried to do …

Following the celebrations and parades, and in the midst of the Dodgers continuing to upgrade their team in the off-season, the question of when manager Dave Roberts would be given a new contract continued to loom. Despite that, it also never felt like there was much threat that ownership or the front office would let him go into the 2025 …

(Via @Dodgers) The battle for roster spots on the Dodgers continue to come into focus as the initial cuts to the team are made, and though there are more injuries than you’d like to start the year, it does give others a chance to shine at least. ====== As mentioned, the Dodgers made their first cuts to the roster at …

(Via @Dodgers) The fervor over Roki Sasaki (combined with hate for the Dodgers) is such that social media had a field day with mere highlights from a live batting practice he threw last week. Well, today at least people got a chance to see him in an actual game for his Spring Training debut with the Dodgers against the Reds. …

(Via @Dodgers) A quick Spring Training update due to the amount of injury updates and notable highlights generated by the Dodgers. There are some legitimate concerns, but there’s also a lot of optimistic results as of late. ====== Speaking of optimism, while there’s valid concern about Shohei Ohtani‘s shoulder and Freddie Freeman‘s ankle, they at least look relatively normal so …

(Via @Dodgers) For the sake of my sanity, I’ve been chilling during all these Spring Training games. But just in case anybody thought otherwise, I’d like to reiterate that the results are mostly meaningless, so don’t bother getting worked up. That said, here’s a bunch of Dodgers highlights and stuff. ====== But before getting to the highlights, there’s news that …
