On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we look at the Dodgers pitching staff at the moment, with Walker Buehler getting a reset with another trip to the injured list.
In the last week-plus, the Dodgers lost Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Buehler, with the latter more of a reset as Buehler works through kinks in his mechanics and delivery. They got back Bobby Miller and inserted Landon Knack for now in the rotation.
We look at the run of off days on the schedule and what that might mean this week for the pitching staff, plus the Dodgers playing it cautious with Clayton Kershaw, who started a rehab assignment of his own.
Also, a look at the weird schedule this week which includes the Dodgers and Angels having Sunday off after a two-game series. Plus loads of Dodgers trivia about the Angels and Rockies.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we marvel at the many majestic home runs and other exploits of Shohei Ohtani, who is now leading off for the Dodgers.
Ohtani hit four home runs last week, and has an extra-base hit in seven straight games, but was also joined by others in the lineup around him, including a productive 7-8-9 group that has struggled all year with a rotating cast of characters.
Plus an update on Max Muncy, who is “stir crazy” waiting for his oblique to heal and will be out until at least the All-Star break.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we discuss the aftermath of the injuries to Mookie Betts and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Also, a look at the top of the Dodgers lineup, which now has Will Smith batting second to break up left-handed hitters Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman.
Miguel Rojas will take over the bulk of the time at shortstop, and we look at how the rest of the roster will adjust, including more time for Chris Taylor in the infield and Miguel Vargas in left field against left-handed pitching.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap an absolutely brutal weekend at Dodger Stadium during which Mookie Betts broke a bone in his left hand and Yoshinobu Yamamoto suffered a strained rotator cuff.
Both are expected to miss several weeks, if not months. Craig Goldstein at Baseball Prospectus shared data from the site's injury recovery database, showing recent pitchers with a rotator cuff strain miss an average of 64 days, while a broken hand averages 53 days away.
We'll dig into more details on what's next for the Dodgers on our next episode, but for the coming week ahead at least, Miguel Vargas will be called up from Triple-A to take Betts' roster spot, Miguel Rojas will see the bulk of time at shortstop with a smattering of Kiké Hernández, Bobby Miller will return from his own long injured-list stint on Wednesday, and Landon Knack might make a spot start next weekend against the Angels.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers traded for Cavan Biggio, the utility player who was designated for assignment last week.
Biggio has struggled at the plate, but the bottom of the Dodgers lineup is used to that. His numbers compare favorably to Kiké Hernández and Chris Taylor, and Biggio bats left-handed, unlike those two right-handers.
Biggio’s addition gives the Dodgers a left-handed option at third base with Max Muncy still out with a strained oblique. Plus Biggio can play second base and corner outfield spots if needed. This wasn’t a needle-moving trade by any means, but he fits a specific Dodgers need in the moment.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap an exciting weekend series between the Dodgers and Yankees at Dodger Stadium, and the incredible weekend by outfielder Teoscar Hernández.
Yankee Stadium saw a great game by Yoshinobu Yamamoto, some stellar patchwork relief by the taxed Dodgers bullpen, and Aaron Judge continued to be a menace for New York. In all the Dodgers won two of three games.
Plus updates on the bottom of the Dodgers lineup, including a home run by Kiké Hernández and a three-hit game by Gavin Lux. Bobby Miller is getting closer to a return to the rotation, and what might the Dodgers do once he returns?

Today on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at Al Downing, who won 20 games, made an All-Star team, and won Comeback Player of the Year with the Dodgers in 1971.
Downing also famously allowed Henry Aaron’s 715th home run, in 1974, but Downing had a distinguished career, pitching 17 seasons in the majors, including seven years with the Dodgers and nine years with the Yankees.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap strong Dodgers pitching that led to five wins in six games last week against the Mets and Rockies.
The offense has been struggling in a relative sense, even Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Freddie Freeman at the top of the lineup. The situation has been exacerbated with Max Muncy out since mid-May. His oblique injury will likely linger well into June.
Evan Phillips is back off the injured list, adding more stability to the bullpen. Plus updates on rehabbing pitchers Clayton Kershaw and Bobby Miller.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we catch up on two weeks’ worth of Dodgers news, with a five-game losing streak front and center.
The offense has struggled for most of May, having a hard time getting production outside of the top 6 hitters in the lineup. And since Max Muncy has been out with an oblique strain, it’s only a top 5 in the lineup now.
Also, we go over the constant churn through Dodgers pitchers and how that bubble burst over the last week, contributing to the losing streak.

Today on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at Pete Mikkelsen, a right-handed reliever who pitched for the Dodgers from 1969-1972.
Mikkelsen had the first four-inning save in Dodgers history, in 1969, when he closed out the final win of Don Drysdale’s legendary career. Mikkelsen pitched in nine major league seasons for the Yankees, Pirates, Cubs, Cardinals, and Dodgers.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers offense hit a snag in San Diego, dropping their first series in three weeks. But strong pitching has kept the team in every game, and fueled a hot streak.
Walker Buehler struggled in his first two starts back after missing nearly two years recovering from Tommy John surgery, which was to be expected. Several high-leverage relief pitchers are injured, including Evan Phillips and Joe Kelly. But the pitching staff rolls on, allowing four or fewer runs in 19 straight games, the longest stretch in franchise history.
Teoscar Hernández had several clutch hits last week and Freddie Freeman found his power stroke, but the Dodgers offense struggled recently, with just nine runs on 13 hits over their last four games. Still, they won two of those games thanks to strong pitching.
Before the Dodgers lost a road series to the Padres, they swept the Marlins at home, giving Los Angeles three winning weeks in a row. Up next this week, a road series in San Francisco before returning home to face the Reds.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers kept rolling with another 5-1 week and a sweep of the Braves. Now, Walker Buehler is back in the majors.
The last week for the Dodgers included a game delayed nearly two hours by bees in a stadium that has a roof, Shohei Ohtani gave Dave Roberts a toy car then hit three home runs in two days, Max Muncy hit three home runs in a game, and LA got fantastic starting pitching.
The rotation gets a boost on Monday with the return of Walker Buehler from Tommy John surgery and flexor tendon repair, making his first MLB start in 696 days.
Also, we talk about how the Dodgers bullpen will be used in the next few weeks with closer Evan Phillips on the injured list and Blake Treinen back.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen talks to Kris Willis of Battery Power to preview this weekend's three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
The Dodgers and Braves met in back-to-back NLCS in 2020 and 2021, with each team winning a championship in those years. Both teams have won 100 or more games in the last two seasons too, but both were bounced in the Division Series.
In 2024, both teams are strong again, but also dealing with pitching injuries and while the overall offensive numbers are good for both the Dodgers and Braves, both are dealing with struggles in parts of the lineup. Here's a look ahead to what should be a fun weekend series in Los Angeles.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap a winning road trip for the Dodgers, and discuss MLB agreeing to fix the great 2024 uniform fiasco.
The Dodgers won five out of six games on the road last week, sweeping the Nationals then taking a series against the Blue Jays in Toronto. Mookie Betts stayed ridiculously hot, both at the plate and on the bases. Shohei Ohtani hit two memorable home runs, including one that tied him with Dave Roberts.
The team also got great pitching, including the best start of April by Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow continuing to pitch like an ace, Gavin Stone setting a career high in innings in a game, and Landon Knack earning his first major league win.
Andy Pages impressed as a rookie, and will get a long leash to continue to do so with Jason Heyward progressing slowly from his back injury. Plus, rehab updates on Walker Buehler, Blake Treinen, Brusdar Graterol, and Kyle Hurt.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap a rough homestand for the Dodgers, who lost three series in a row at Dodger Stadium.
There were troubles with runners in scoring position, and especially so with the bases loaded, too many strikeouts for the hitters, and the continued issue of having the bottom of the lineup produce. The bullpen has struggled as well, and the team just hasn’t been in sync for the last two weeks or so.
Among the positives though last week was Shohei Ohtani passing Hideki Matsui for the most home runs in MLB by a player born in Japan, and the Dodgers had three major league debuts – outfielder Andy Pages, plus pitchers Landon Knack and Ricky Vanasco – all in the same series.
