• Julio Urias dominates Rockies as Dodgers take three of four in Colorado Starting the season with four games at Coors Field was akin to charging into a ‘Wipeout’ course, bouncing off giant rubber balls, dodging swinging foam arms and running up tilting walls. The Dodgers made it to the other side safely, taking three of the four games after Julio Urias pitched seven scoreless innings in a 4-2 victory Sunday afternoon. But that didn’t mean the off-kilter characteristics of a series featuring stray cats, inside-the-park homers and outside-the-park singles completely changed. The…
• Scott Alexander gets Dodgers’ final bullpen job over Dennis Santana LOS ANGELES ― Left-hander Scott Alexander snagged the Dodgers’ final bullpen spot, the only outstanding question as the Dodgers prepare their Opening Day roster. The regular season begins Thursday in Denver against the Colorado Rockies. Manager Dave Roberts called the choice “a very, very difficult decision.” “We thought Dennis (Santana) had a great spring, really impressed with his progress, command, all that stuff,” he said. “It’s just more of a numbers game. We felt right now Scott has earned that…

• Oakland A’s lose to Dodgers, break more records in historically bad start OAKLAND — The Oakland A’s are not a terrible team, but they’re playing terrible baseball. That’s the scope of a dismal 0-5 start to the season, a historic losing streak extended by a 10-3 loss to the defending World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night at the Coliseum. The 0-5 start is the A’s franchise’s third in history and first since 1987 (the other came in 1979). The A’s have been outscored 45-10, and have allowed at least nine…
• Chad Pinder placed on IL, A.J. Puk recalled prior to A’s game against Dodgers OAKLAND — The Oakland A’s made a flurry of moves on Monday before their series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chad Pinder was placed on the 10-day IL after sustaining a left knee sprain in the very first at bat in Sunday’s game. He sprained it as he landed hard crashing into the wall, making a catch on Jose Altuve’s fly ball. A.J. Puk was recalled from the A’s alternate site as an addition to a bullpen worn down…
• Dodgers sign former Rays outfielder Steven Souza Jr. to minor-league deal LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers have collected another “upside play” that could potentially address their lack of right-handed depth on the bench. Outfielder Steven Souza Jr. has signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers after being released by the Houston Astros this season. Souza, 31, hit 63 home runs with a .753 OPS over three seasons for the Tampa Bay Rays including a 30-homer season in 2017 before knee and shoulder injuries suffered with the Arizona Diamondbacks derailed his career.…
• Dodgers’ Corey Knebel has put 2020 behind him The Dodgers had good reason to believe Corey Knebel still had some life in his right arm when they acquired him from the Milwaukee Brewers in December. Knebel, 29, was not a good pitcher by any measure in 2020, his first season back from Tommy John surgery. In 15 appearances out of the Brewers’ bullpen, Knebel allowed four home runs, walked eight batters, and allowed nine runs in 13-1/3 innings. His fastball velocity had never been lower. His curveball wasn’t…
• Dodgers’ first road trip of 2021 not limited to a hotel and a ballpark When is a road trip not a road trip? If you were a major-league baseball player in 2020, any series of away games had to feel different. Players, coaches and other members of every team’s traveling party were instructed to “avoid leaving the club hotel for non-essential purposes” under last season’s COVID-19 protocols. This year, that rule was relaxed. Saturday was a clear, sunny and warm day in Denver. Dodgers catcher Will Smith didn’t take it for granted. “Denver’s a…
