Dave Roberts shared an unexpected sentiment about Manny Machado prior to the Dodgers-Padres spring training clash.
Spring training has been underway for several days now and it has been relatively uneventful, which is what happens when you have a team packed with All-Stars and very few open roster spots. Will Dustin May or Tony Gonsolin get the last rotation spot? Who gets the last position player spot? Will Freddie Freeman be ready on opening day?
The Los Angeles Dodgers held their first full-squad workout of Spring Training on Saturday, which per tradition began with manager Dave Roberts addressing all players in the clubhouse before they dispersed on the backfields at Camelback Ranch.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts liked what he saw from Shohei Ohtani in his first live pitching performance since surgery.
Two days after Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts named Bobby Miller among the early standouts in Spring Training this year, he was rushing onto the field at Camelback Ranch after watching his young pitcher take a 106 mph line drive to the forehead.
Shohei Ohtani makes an impressive return to live pitching during the Dodgers' Spring Training after elbow surgery in 2023. Manager Dave Roberts expresses optimism about Ohtani's performance, hinting at his potential significant impact as a designated hitter for the upcoming season.
Shohei Ohtani is back on the attack, and Roki Sasaki is getting close. Ohtani, the unanimous 2024 National League MVP after the first 50-homer/50-stolen base season in Major League history, took his first live batting practice of the spring Sunday.
