Dodgers News and Notes: Injury Updates, Trade Rumors and More

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman12 Comments

Last time we talked, I proposed that these first three series would do a lot to telling much about how the Los Angeles Dodgers’ second half of the season would go. So far, so good. Currently, the Dodgers are two games above both the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants for first place in the division.

The Dodgers started by taking two of three from the New York Mets, and then two of three from the AL East leading Orioles in Baltimore. (I was in attendance for two of those games. Highly recommend going to Camden Yards if you are able).

The Los Angeles Dodgers, maybe as much as any other team in the majors, has seen their pitching staff get repeatedly hit with injuries.

Overall, the Dodgers currently have 10 pitchers on the injured list. And now that Clayton Kershaw has landed there, that makes a clean sweep of all the starters to have some injury issue this season.

Are the Los Angeles Dodgers and Their Bullpen Finally Turning a Corner?

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman6 Comments

In the past few weeks, Los Angeles Dodgers have seen their standing in the NL West to go from first place to third. The bullpen was scuffing, if not full on imploding, almost every night. They suffered a humiliating 15–0 loss to the San Francisco Giants at home, ultimately getting swept by their rivals.

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman9 Comments

The Los Angeles Dodgers are embarking on their longest road trip of the season, which will take them to three cities for 10 games.

The team was the last in the majors to play any American League teams, but finished their last home stand by taking two of three from the AL Central leading Minnesota Twins.

Dodgers Injury News and Notes – Syndergaard, Buehler Update and More

Published on by Andy Lane ChapmanLeave a comment

If the Los Angeles Dodgers could somehow manage to maintain their pace of one clunker game followed by two to three good ones, well then they’d be in great shape at the end of the season.

The Dodgers just finished a road trip which took them to San Diego and Milwaukee. The first game of each series was not great, but they managed to scrape two hard fought wins in San Diego, and then cruise to another two wins in Milwaukee.

Thoughts on the Dodgers Season So Far

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman3 Comments

When the Los Angeles Dodgers would sputter in past seasons, I never really worried. Ever the eternal Dodgers optimist, I always knew they had enough talent to get through whatever team slump was happening and show what a strong team they were.

(This applied to the regular season only, obviously).

But this season is the first where I have seriously doubts about the team overall.

Dodgers News and Notes – Kershaw Gets Win 200, Depth Woes and More

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman10 Comments

We as Los Angeles Dodgers fans are so lucky to be watching greatness every five to six days and on Tuesday night, Clayton Kershaw showed us exactly why.

Kershaw turned in a vintage performance for his 200th career win, going 7.0 scoreless innings, striking out nine and walking none. After Jason Heyward bobbled a line drive to right field, allowing the batter to reach third on the very first at bat of the game, Kershaw proceeded to strike out the next three, stranding that runner. He didn’t allow anyone else past second the rest of the game.

Dodgers News and Notes – Injury Updates, A Look at the Division, and More

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman9 Comments

The Los Angeles Dodgers are one week into the 2023 season, currently sporting a record of 4-2, and all alone in first place in the division.

The name of the game this early in the season is small sample size, of course, but we are still going to use it to compare and contrast players on the Dodgers and teams in the NL West.
