Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced the Dodgers could bring a replacement for left fielder Michael Conforto when some players return from the inj

The Los Angeles Dodgers are tied with the San Diego Padres in the National League West, and they have everything to play for going forward.

The Padres have effectively played shorthanded the last few days, with Ramón Laureano sliding over from left to center field and Gavin Sheets backfilling the left-field vacancy. Merrill's unavailability has coincided with shortstop Xander Bogaerts and second baseman Jake Cronenworth both missing a game apiece because of their own ills.

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated right-hander Kirby Yates from the 15-day injured list in advance of Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres and placed left-handed starter Blake Snell on the paternity list.

Yu Darvish combined with three relievers on a three-hitter, and the San Diego Padres pulled even with the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the NL West once again with a 2-1 victory.

The Dodgers were held to one hit before the ninth inning, when Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman gave them one final gasp against All-Star closer Robert Suarez. The closer blew a 101.6 mph sinker past Hernández to close out a night in which they hardly ever threatened.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced two big pitching roster moves ahead of Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies.

Freddie Freeman hit a two-run home on the sixth pitch of the game, Clayton Kershaw won his fourth straight start, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 9-5.

Blake Snell is slated to take the mound for Los Angeles against Yu Darvish for San Diego.

The Los Angeles Dodgers face the San Diego Padres in a regular season MLB game on Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025 (8/23/25) at Petco Park in San Diego, Calif.
