The MLB draft is a very exciting time – for the 30 MLB teams, for the fans, and most certainly for the young men hoping to have their name called so that they can continue their lifelong journey and dream of one day playing in the major leagues. For most aspiring major leaguers it is […]

The date was September 18, 2006. It was an otherwise uneventful Monday night in the City of Angels. … until it wasn’t. On that fateful night, Messrs. Jeff Kent, J.D. Drew, Russell Martin and Marlon Anderson etched their names into Dodgers – and baseball – history when they slugged back-to-back-to-back-to-back home runs in the bottom of […]

When Philadelphia Phillies left fielder Rhys Hoskins was forced to leave last Monday night’s game against the Dodgers after being struck in the mouth by his own foul ball, it understandably received a lot of attention, not to mention repeated replays that left squeamish fans feeling… squeamish. An X-ray of Hoskins mouth the following day revealed that […]

The Dodgers have claimed left-handed pitcher P.J. Conlon off waivers from the New York Mets and transferred left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu (left groin tear) to the 60-day disabled list.

The Dodgers have recalled right-handed reliever Yimi Garcia from Triple-A Oklahoma City and optioned left-hander Edward Paredes back there, to add to their increasing frequent flyer miles between LAX and Will Rogers World Airport in OKC.
