The Dodgers recalled left-handed pitcher Alex Vesia from Triple-A Oklahoma City and placed right-handed pitcher Jimmy Nelson on the 10-day injured list with a left lumbar strain, retroactive July 7.  Vesia, 25, has appeared in nine games for Oklahoma City, allowing one run in 9.0 innings with 19 strikeouts.

It is a saying as old as the game of baseball itself but very much still applies today: “On any given day, any team can beat any other team in the game of baseball.” There is certainly no greater proof of this than the just-concluded four-game series in which the National League East last-place Miami […]

The Dodgers return home and will close out the season’s first half with a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium this weekend. Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game will take place next Tuesday in Denver, which is also where the Dodgers will open the second half on Friday, July 16, against the Rockies […]

It’s certainly not as rare as a no-hitter, but you definitely don’t see it very often – at least not at baseball’s highest level. We have now seen it three times in the past week and four times in the last three months – by the same guy. It is Catcher’s Interference, and all four […]

If you thought that things couldn’t get any worse for the Dodgers. you’d be wrong. This just in from the team: The Dodgers have recalled right-handed pitcher Mitch White and placed left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw on the 10-day injured list with left elbow inflammation. White, 25, was recalled for the fourth time this season and […]

On Tuesday night, 28-year-old right-hander Jake Reed, who had been called up to the Dodgers just hours before from Triple-A Oklahoma City, made his major league debut, albeit for only two-thirds of an inning. It did not end well for the Tucson, AZ native and fifth-round draft pick in 2014 […]

There isn’t much to say about Tuesday night’s 2-1 loss by the World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers – their second straight – to the National League East last-place Miami Marlins, so I won’t. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts summed it up perfectly after the game: “That play ended the game but it certainly didn’t lose the […]

The Dodgers have selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Jake Reed and designated outfielder Steven Souza Jr. for assignment. Reed, 28, will be on the active roster for the first time in his career and his next appearance will be his Major League debut. The righty from La Mesa, CA appeared in nine games for […]

It’s one of those things that pretty much remains under the radar and isn’t a problem … until it is. It is a problem for the Dodgers. A serious problem. In fact, it is why their nine-game winning streak came to a screeching halt on Monday night against one of the worst teams in Major […]
