Three-peat? The Dodgers are still hungry for more as Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and newcomer Kyle Tucker are ready to defend their championship. And the best way to follow the Dodgers all season long is on SNLA+.

GLENDALE, Ariz. – No prospect expects to be traded. Not Zach Ehrhard, who was living out a childhood dream by playing alongside his brother, Drew, at Double-A in the Red Sox organization. And certainly not James Tibbs III, who, by last July, had already been dealt once in the Rafael

There's so much on the line every Spring Training as all 30 MLB teams work to finalize their rosters for Opening Day. While some positions are set long before the season begins, each club is still trying to nail down at least one key aspect of its roster -- and

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- For Landon Knack, the margin for error in a Major League rotation isn't just thin -- it’s "finite." That was the word Dodgers manager Dave Roberts used Saturday morning to describe the 28-year-old right-hander’s command. As Knack took the mound at Camelback Ranch in the Dodgers' 6-4

TOKYO -- There’s not many places for a pitcher to hide when facing Samurai Japan. The lineup features one Japanese slugger after another, each with the ability to put the ball over the fence. Facing its rival Korea on Saturday night, Japan showed off that power with three home runs

This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Dodgers injury news and transactions.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Most pitchers in the Dodgers’ clubhouse are fighting for a roster spot or a rotation role. But for Ryder Ryan and River Ryan, every day at Camelback Ranch is about something more personal. It’s about a dream that started in a North Carolina backyard and, as of

TOKYO -- Seiya Suzuki missed Japan's 2023 World Baseball Classic title run with an oblique injury, with the team marking his absence by hanging his No. 51 jersey above the bench in the dugout. In Japan's 8-6 win against Korea on Saturday at Tokyo Dome, the Cubs outfielder showed what

TOKYO -- The defending champs and the most talented baseball player on the planet make for a dangerous combination. On Friday night, Samurai Japan began its World Baseball Classic title defense, taking on a Chinese Taipei team that upset it in the 2024 Premier12 tournament.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- By now, it’s apparent -- both inside and outside baseball circles -- that Edwin Díaz entering games to his Timmy Trumpet theme song is electric.

Yoshinobu, meet Yoshi. Yoshi, meet Yoshinobu. The Dodgers’ ace will enter the Mario Universe when he teams up with the popular dinosaur from Nintendo’s Super Mario franchise for this one-of-a-kind bobblehead giveaway later this month. The first 40,000 fans at L.A.’s game against the Guardians on Tuesday, March 31 will

TOKYO – When Shohei Ohtani plays in Japan, he makes sure to put on a show. He regularly takes batting practice on the field -- something he rarely does in the Majors -- making sure to reward his home country’s fans who fill the ballpark.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Spring Training already gives baseball fans a chance to catch a glimpse of the not-so-distant future, but for the hard-core prospect enthusiasts out there, there's an even better opportunity to see baseball's upcoming stars in action. For the third time, each Major League club's top prospects will

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- It was his versatility that drew the Dodgers to Santiago Espinal more than his bat, but they'll gladly welcome any pop he can provide. Espinal clubbed a pair of homers and drove in six runs on a balmy Thursday afternoon at Goodyear Ballpark, where the ball was

For the first time in a decade, Milwaukee is the cream of the crop. The Brewers have ascended to the top spot in the MLB Pipeline farm system rankings. The last time the organization sat atop such a list was the 2016 midseason version, when it claimed eight Top 100

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani … and then who? That's one question the Dodgers will need to answer with about three weeks of Spring Training exhibitions remaining. They know the aforementioned three arms will be in their season-opening rotation, and that Blake Snell and Gavin Stone

The first two years of Spring Breakout have provided several memorable matchups. Baseball's best hitting prospect (Jackson Holliday) faced baseball's best pitching prospect (Paul Skenes) in 2024, resulting in a 102-mph fastball and a strikeout on a 92-mph slider. Four of the game's dozen top-rated prospects faced off in a

The Dodgers have captured 12 of the last 13 National League West titles -- settling for 106 victories and just a Wild Card berth in 2021 -- and three of the last six World Series. They're prohibitive favorites to earn a third consecutive World Series title in 2026, which would

Clayton Kershaw may have retired from MLB, but he's still pitching against Major League teams. The decorated left-hander, who won three Cy Young Awards, an MVP Award, 11 All-Star selections and three World Series rings over 18 Major League seasons, called it a career following the Dodgers' 2025 World Series

Our annual tradition is back. Each spring, we look forward to the upcoming season by breaking down the 30 teams into eight or nine somewhat-subjectively defined tiers, grouping together those in similar situations. We've done it for several years now, and it's a fun way to get ready for the

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Dodgers saw two versions of Roki Sasaki take the mound on Tuesday afternoon. One faced five hitters without recording an out. The other set down six hitters in order. The former resembled the Sasaki who struggled in the rotation last season, while the latter seemed much

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- If the battle for the final spots in the Dodgers' rotation comes down to who can consistently find the strike zone, River Ryan just made a significant statement.
