TORONTO — For a couple moments Tuesday afternoon, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts spit out a rapid-fire version of Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s biography, or at least his Baseball Reference page. World Series winner? Check. World Baseball Classic winner? Olympic Games gold medalist? Check. Sawamura Award winner, presented annually to Japan’s best pitcher? Check. Cy Young award winner? No. Or,…
TORONTO — Fans lined up before the game, waiting patiently for the chance to take a selfie with trophies that commemorated the back-to-back World Series championships. Dodger Stadium is not the only place you can do this. The trophies were from 1992 and 1993, and they honored the Toronto Blue Jays. The Dodgers matched that back-to-back feat…
TORONTO — What do you remember most about the epic, riveting, thrill-a-minute Game 7? The home run? Which one? That crazy play at the plate? The rubber-armed starter-turned-closer? The last out? So many moments, so many stories that will be told and retold among this generation of Dodgers fans and passed down to the next. As the…
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rookie Justin Crawford had an RBI single in the 10th inning after the Philadelphia Phillies rallied from a four-run deficit for a 6-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. The Nationals led 5-1 in the seventh. J.T. Realmuto and Bryce Harper hit solo home runs to get the Phillies within 5-3….
Andy Pages hasn’t forgotten about last postseason, though he’d like to. And he’d surely like you to forget about it, too — or, well, most of it. Feel free to retain the mental image of his epic smash-and-grab catch over teammate Kiké Hernández. That stunning play in the bottom of the ninth inning didn’t just…

The two-time defending World Series champions ponied up a combined $309 million to sign two free agents, world-class closer Edwin Díaz and four-time All-Star corner outfielder Kyle Tucker. The second-place San Diego Padres continued to cut payroll, bidding farewell to…

But those who did were treated to a dominant pitching performance from the four-time MVP in his first start of spring training. They repaid the favor with a…
PHOENIX — Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas addressed an erroneous report from earlier in the week with understanding while also making his feelings clear. On Monday, a senior baseball writer at The Athletic misidentified Rojas as the recipient of an 80-game suspension for the use of a banned substance on X, the social media platform formerly known as…
PHOENIX — The first pitch of the Dodgers’ 2026 season won’t capture the exuberance of the last pitch of 2025. But it will be meaningful in its own right, as the official first step of the team’s quest for a third straight championship. How poetic that the same arm should deliver both pitches. “It’s an honor for…
