Although there has been no official announcement yet, ThinkBlueLA has learned that Dodgers top right-handed pitching prospect Dennis Santana has been promoted from Double-A Tulsa to Triple-A Oklahoma City. What’s the big deal, you ask? The big deal is that if you haven’t noticed, the Dodgers bullpen is an absolute mess right now and in […]

After several days of speculation and unconfirmed reports, the Dodgers have officially reinstated infielders Justin Turner (left wrist fracture) and Logan Forsythe (right shoulder inflammation) from the 10-day disabled list and optioned infielder/catcher Kyle Farmer and outfielder Tim Locastro to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Turner will make his 2018 debut this evening after suffering a fractured […]

During Monday’s scheduled off day, the Dodgers activated veteran second baseman Logan Forsythe from the 10-day disabled list (right shoulder inflammation) and optioned infielder Tim Locastro to Triple-A Oklahoma City. However, and this is an enormous however, they have not yet officially announced the return of All-Star third baseman Justin Turner to their active roster, even though […]

Let’s be honest here. The Dodgers not only want Justin Turner back in their everyday lineup, they need Justin Turner back in their everyday lineup. So, too, with Logan Forsythe. But the cold, hard truth is that expecting the extremely popular heavily-bearded Dodgers third baseman, and the lightly-bearded veteran second baseman to return from the disabled list […]

I admit it, I am a huge fan of Dodgers ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte. I mean, let’s face it. How many switch-pitchers can you name without using Google or Baseball-Reference.com? In fact, the 32-year-old Omaha, Nebraska native and 2008 20th-round draft pick out of Creighton University (by the New York Yankees) is the only switch-pitcher to make it […]

With the Dodgers currently mired in a horrible slump that has seen them lose three straight to the National League Central last place Cincinnati Reds, there was some much needed good news coming from 46 miles east of Dodger Stadium on Saturday night that could be just what the doctor ordered. On Saturday night while […]

The Dodgers have selected the contract of ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte (#43) from Triple-A Oklahoma City and optioned right-handed pitcher Brock Stewart to the OKC Dodgers. Venditte, 32, made 15 relief appearances with the OKC Dodger this season, going 2-0 with a 1.53 ERA (3 ER/17.2 IP) and limiting the opposition to .167 average. He […]

When the Cincinnati Reds rolled into town for a four-game series with the Dodgers on Thursday night, they did so as the worst team in the National League. When they roll out of town on Sunday afternoon, the Dodgers could very well be within two losses on having that dubious honor. Much like Thursday’s series […]

For the first time since being named manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers prior to the 2016 season, a normally positive and upbeat Dave Roberts called his team out following Thursday night’s 4-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds – the team currently with the worst record in the National League and third worst in all […]

It took all of two batters to realize that Wednesday night’s game between the Dodgers and the National League West-leading Arizona Diamondbacks was going to be a weird one. After getting Dbacks leadoff hitter Chris Owings to pop out to Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger to start the game, Dodgers left-hander Alex Wood gave up […]
