Dodgers News

With a 4-1 win over the Cardinals, the Dodgers are looking to build momentum as they gear up to face the struggling Astros. Shohei Ohtani, fresh off winning the NL Pitcher of the Month for April with a jaw-dropping 0.60 ERA, will take the mound again, though he won't be hitting. The offense has hit a snag recently, reminiscent of past seasons, but it’s the return of Blake Snell that’s stirring discussion,many believe Roki Sasaki should be sent down to make room, though that seems unlikely. With Brock Stewart nearing his return and Brusdar Graterol in Triple-A, the Dodgers are set to bolster their bullpen soon. The vibe remains warm as they hold teams to just 2.9 runs a game, but the bats need to wake up to sustain this success.
