The Dodgers dropped last night’s game to the Tampa Bay Rays in what was a back-and-forth contest. Tampa Bay jumped out to an early lead, only for the Dodgers to come back, but then lose in extra innings.
Here is what you may have missed from Saturday:
The rivalry thickens as the San Francisco Giants pick up Cavan Biggio, who was recently released by the Dodgers. Biggio struggled during his stint in LA, recording a modest slash line and high strikeout rates. His move to the Giants could provide him with a chance to bounce back, especially as he shifts to a role in Triple-A Sacramento and potentially fills gaps in the San Francisco infield.
After a lengthy 80-game absence due to an oblique injury, Max Muncy has made a potent return to the Dodgers lineup, significantly impacting their sweep over the Mariners. His return and subsequent performance suggest a stronger, fully integrated Dodgers lineup that could spell trouble for competitors.
Shohei Ohtani’s exceptional season could set a new MLB record as he chases the elusive 50-50 club milestone. Ohtani’s pursuit not only enhances his MVP resume but solidifies his status as one of baseball’s all-time greats. With Dodgers manager Dave Roberts backing his potential to reach this goal, all eyes will be on Ohtani in the season’s final stretch.
Walker Buehler is showing signs of returning to form after a challenging season marred by injuries and inconsistent performances. As the Dodgers face a critical part of their season, Buehler’s ability to reclaim his best form could be pivotal for the team’s success in the postseason.
The Dodgers are commemorating Kobe Bryant’s legacy with special promotions and giveaways during their game series. These tributes blend sports cultures in LA and honor an athlete whose influence transcended basketball.
There’s promising news as pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto is slated for a timely return in September from a rotator cuff strain. His comeback could boost the Dodgers’ pitching options right before the playoffs, enhancing their championship push.
Amidst an already impressive season, Shohei Ohtani’s prowess continues to receive high praise with the potential of making MLB history. His dual-threat capabilities as a hitter and pitcher are setting a new standard in baseball, showcasing his unparalleled skills and importance to the Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani is truly unstoppable.
He’s going to be the first player in MLB history to have a 50 home run / 50 stolen base season. And he might do it sooner rather than later.
