Two weeks ago when he collected his first hit it was …
Dodgers could use a little right-handed help tonight
As you try to figure out who is going to play tonight one constant keeps on showing up, the Dodgers are short a right-handed hitting outfielder.

Urias turned in six shutout …

Since the all-star break: The Dodgers still posted double-digit hits last night and continue to lead the NL in team batting average at .278, and slugging % .468 The Dodgers rank 2nd in the …
That lead didn’t last long
The Dodgers were in and out of first place so fast it was like watching a Jamaican running the 100-meter dash. What do you mean the Giants aren’t going to lose 2 out of 3 games the rest of the year? What do you mean that a rotation with Ross Stripling, Bud Norris, Brett Anderson, …

In one of the stranger going on’s in 2016, A.J. Ellis has moved into second place among the LAD leaderboard for position players not being able to score. Ellis moved past Dodger great Mike Scioscia during his last start and has now been unable to score in his last 101 at-bats. You can see why it …
