Dodger outfielder Yasiel Puig today was named National League Co-Player of the Week for the period May 12-18, along with Arizona outfielder A.J. Pollock. The announcement was made earlier today on MLB Network. Puig posted a .348 batting average (8-for-23) in six contests last week while collecting a league-leading 10 RBI and tying for the […]

We’ve all had them – ‘just one of those days.’ It’s one of those things in the universe that just happens and often times cannot be explained. We simply accept them and move on. But when ‘just one of those days’ becomes two of those days or three of those days (and so on), there might […]

When Dodgers manager Don Mattingly confirmed on Sunday that left-hander Hyun-jin Ryu will be activated from the 15-day disabled list and will be starting Wednesday’s game against the Mets at Citi Field, it put into motion a series of events.

It kind of came as a surprise and out of nowhere when Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said in his post-game interview after Monday night’s 6-5 win over the Miami Marlins at Dodger Stadium that he credits a little game that Dodgers star outfielder Yasiel Puig and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez play between themselves during the games […]
