Dodgers rookie outfielder Alex Verdugo’s return is no longer imminent, per Ken Gurnick. Alex Verdugo still rehabbing his back in Arizona. “Stagnant right now,” Roberts said. — Ken Gurnick (@kengurnick) September 7, 2019 Stagnant is never a word one wants to hear in these situations.

Dodgers infielder Max Muncy underwent an MRI this morning that revealed a small fracture in his right wrist, according to Alanna Rizzo. An MRI this AM revealed Max Muncy has a small fracture/crack in his right wrist. No definitive time table for return but he’s hopeful it’s just 1-2 weeks. He still has swelling & […] More
With most facets of the Dodgers club clicking on all cylinders, it is hard to pinpoint a distinct weakness. Throughout all the bright spots, though, there are bound to be some individuals dimming the lights ever so slightly. Let’s take a look at who has seen their stock rise and who has seen their stock […] More
After the defense of the Dodgers helped cost them two recent games, people are wondering if the defense is bad. Bunt coverages against the Padres on May 5th and the throwing error by Justin Turner on May 11th against the Nationals were big examples of poor defense. Kenley Jansen called it a miscommunication between him […] More
Alex Verdugo has begun the 2019 season as a part-time player who is swinging an almost elite bat. He’s become a fan favorite with his enthusiasm and excellent play. The fans want to see more of “Dugie” and I’m guessing the Dodgers are working on more ways to get him some at-bats. Our own Brian […] More

As the Dodgers’ roster is currently constructed, they don’t have a “traditional” leadoff hitter. The favorite to leadoff is A.J. Pollock, but I already discussed why that wouldn’t be ideal, and Joc Pederson, who also isn’t ideal. But they do have the perfect leadoff hitter on their roster: Max Muncy. Muncy, a 28-year-old, left-handed hitter, […] More
Guess who’s back, back again. Seager’s back, tell a friend. After missing most of the 2018 season due to elbow and hip surgery, Corey Seager is now back on the field for the Dodgers as he made his Cactus League debut on Wednesday, March 20, against the Chicago Cubs. Seager hit third in the lineup […] More
When the Dodgers signed Brad Miller, it was an overlooked move mainly overshadowed by the Bryce Harper rumors. Now, with just over one week to go before the regular season opens, the 29-year-old utility man is making a strong case to be on the opening day roster. The Dodgers will have to decide soon as […] More
The off-season was filled with all sorts of rumors about the outfielders for the Dodgers. With the trade of Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp it was originally thought that they’d have an outfield of Joc Pederson/Enrique Hernandez in LF, Cody Bellinger in CF and Alex Verdugo in RF. There were also rumors that Bryce Harper […] More
During his four seasons with the Dodgers, Kiké Hernández has had various levels of success at the plate. He’s played every position but catcher (#LetKikéCatch) in his career with the Dodgers and plays them all very well. The versatility he provides the Dodgers is invaluable as he helps allow them to keep an 8-man bullpen […] More
When the Los Angeles Dodgers announced the signing of A.J. Pollock, many fans assumed he would leadoff for the team. On the surface, it makes some sense, but the team would be better off with him in the middle of the order. Pollock leading off makes sense because the Dodgers don’t currently have a traditional […] More
