Welcome to the Los Angeles Dodgers Blog!

Welcome to the latest news and updates on the Los Angeles Dodgers as they gear up for the National League Division Series. Excitement is building as the team prepares to face off against the winner of the NL Wild Card, with Game 1 set to kick off this weekend.

The Dodgers have announced their pitching rotation for the series, with Jack Flaherty taking the mound for Game 1 and rookie Yoshinobu Yamamoto slated for Game 2. General manager Brandon Gomes hinted that Walker Buehler and Landon Knack could also be involved in Games 3 and 4.

Yamamoto, though a rookie in MLB, brings a wealth of experience from his native Japan, including success in the 2022 Japan Series and at the Tokyo Olympics. Gomes expressed confidence in Yamamoto’s ability to rise to the occasion in the postseason.

Meanwhile, Flaherty, who joined the Dodgers mid-season, will be looking to make an impact in his hometown as he takes the mound in Game 1. The Dodgers will also be relying on the bat of Shohei Ohtani, as the slugger continues his rehab from elbow surgery.

With the best record in baseball, the Dodgers are the top seed in the NL, granting them home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. However, the team is keen to avoid a repeat of their early postseason exits in recent years and are approaching the series with renewed hunger and intensity.
