PHOENIX -- The Dodgers will add several reinforcements when rosters expand to 40 players on Sunday, but they will only be guys who are currently on the injured list. Manager Dave Roberts said the club could call up some players from Triple-A Oklahoma City early next week. That still poses

LOS ANGELES -- On the 97th pitch, the game got away from Dustin May. But for enough of his MLB debut, a 21-year-old with one MLB start under his belt showed why he’s in the conversation for October baseball. The Dodgers lost to the Padres, 5-2, at Dodger Stadium, wasting

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers’ summer tryout camp will include rookie Tony Gonsolin starting Monday night instead of Cy Young candidate Hyun-Jin Ryu, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday for precautionary reasons with a sore neck.

The Dodgers consistently preach the value of their depth, and it appears they have another star in the making who is propelling his way through the pipeline. Gavin Lux homered for a fifth straight game on Thursday, going 5-for-6 and adding a pair of doubles in Triple-A Oklahoma City's 18-5
