For the first time Spectrum is offering a streaming-only subscription for Dodgers games that won't force fans in the L.A. market to buy a cable package or another service.

Rather than distance himself from his painful memories in Rikuzentakata, Roki Sasaki has taken a proactive approach to preserve his more pleasant recollections of his upbringing.

Mookie Betts will miss both of the Dodgers' season-opening games at the Tokyo Dome this week against the Chicago Cubs, manager Dave Roberts said Monday.

It's an almost unthinkable reality: Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki are all Dodgers. And a Japanese fan base has coalesced around its interest in the team.

Behind a superb start from Hiroto Saiki, the Hanshin Tigers didn't give up a hit until the fifth inning and defeated the Dodgers 3-0 at the Tokyo Dome.

Years from now, people who weren't here will claim they were. The people who actually were here won't be complaining about the outrageous ticket prices.

Mookie Betts will be re-evaluated during the team's off-day on Monday, and is questionable to be in the lineup for the club's two regular-season-opening games at the Tokyo Dome.

The response to Shohei Ohtani at the Tokyo Dome on Friday reestablished a longstanding truth about the Dodgers: In Japan's view, there is Ohtani and then there is everyone else.

More than 10,000 fans packed into the lower bowl of the Tokyo Dome on Friday to watch the Dodgers go through their first official workout.

Want to load up on Dodgers in a fantasy baseball league draft? You can't get both Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, but the rest of their teammates are up for grabs.
