Dodgers News
The Dodgers' recent struggles culminated in a disappointing home series against the Brewers, who not only secured the season series but also the tiebreaker for potential playoff implications. With 13 players on the injured list, the urgency for reinforcements is palpable, especially following the Justin Wrobleski injury. But there was a silver lining in LA's 11-5 win over the Rockies, where Shohei Ohtani showcased his MVP credentials with two towering home runs, bringing his season total to 29. While Blake Snell delivered a solid six-inning performance, the team must find a way to bounce back from this weekend's setbacks. As the playoff race heats up, the Dodgers need to rally quick, especially with their depth getting seriously tested.
