Dodgers News

Shohei Ohtani's anticipated return to the mound could elevate the Dodgers' already formidable bullpen into a postseason powerhouse that rivals any team in MLB. With a record of 80-51 and a recent surge of 6-1, the Dodgers are shaping up nicely as they eye October glory. Adding catcher Will Smith back into the lineup following his minor-league rehab assignment will only enhance their chances. Meanwhile, the looming uncertainty around a potential team sale, despite assurances from president Stan Kasten, casts a shadow over the organization. Just as the San Diego Padres' new ownership claims they aim to dethrone the Dodgers, L.A. must stay focused on their own mission: solidifying their roster and maintaining momentum as the postseason approaches.
