Walks. Errors. #Dodgers have lost 11 of 14. Is this rock bottom? Dave Roberts: "It better be rock bottom, as far as how we’ve been pitching, how we’ve been playing defense. ... I think as far as quality of baseball, it’s been a tough watch. It really has.” ocregister.com/2025/07/22/pit…
#Dodgers Dave Roberts on latest loss: "“It better be rock bottom, as far as how we’ve been pitching, how we’ve been playing defense. I think the offense is starting to kind of tick up, which is good. ... But yeah, I think as far as quality of baseball, it’s been a tough watch"
#Dodgers Tanner Scott said MRI showed no ligament damage. Only inflammation. No throwing to let it calm down for a few days. Then see
Two walks and a 3run HR Andy Pages. #Dodgers tie the game
#Dodgers outfield defense has been a problem recently. Tonight, the infield defense opens the door for 3 runs in the second inning
2nd-rder Cam Leiter signs w/@Dodgers for $1,349,100 (slot 65 value). @FSUBaseball RHP, potential 1st-rd pick before missing entire season w/shoulder issues. Explosive fastball to 98 mph, nasty upper-80s slider when healthy. @MLBDraft
#Dodgers are waiting for Dr. Neal ElAttrache to assess the MRI on Tanner Scott's elbow. But their bullpen is already missing Evan Phillips, Michael Kopech, Blake Treinen and Brusdar Graterol. With the trade deadline approaching, the need seems obvious ocregister.com/2025/07/22/dod…
#Dodgers Blake Snell will make his 4th and likely final rehab start with OKC Saturday. Aiming for 5 IP/75 pitches. Dave Roberts: "Once we get through that, there will be a real discussion on if he should join us or do another one.” Snell went 4 IP and 58 pitches for OKC Sunday
GM Brandon Gomes said #Dodgers are very encouraged by Alexis Diaz's recent work. Velo is up after work with staff in AZ: "We've seen flashes of really good stuff out there. Especially his last outing was super encouraging."
#Dodgers came out of the All-Star break thinking they were going to get healthier now. Then Tanner Scott felt a "sting" in his forearm. If it's not one thing, it's another. "It certainly takes a little bit of the joy out of what happened tonight." ocregister.com/2025/07/21/sho…
