The right-hander eyes return from Tommy John surgery and manager Dave Roberts tracks UCLA’s College World Series run.

Rehabbing from Tommy John surgery is a long road, and Emmet Sheehan is nearly at the end. Sheehan was back at Dodger Stadium ahead of Saturday's game against the Giants, and he's expected to make his next start for the Dodgers.

San Francisco starter Landen Roupp struggled early in the Giants' blowout loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night at Dodger Stadium.

Dodgers Make Move After Mets Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Landon Knack (3-2, 5.12 ERA) was having a rough season coming into Thursday's game against the New York Mets, but was coming off two consecutive quality starts. Unfortunately for the 27-year-old, he didn't maintain that momentum.

Dating back to 2013, only one team has managed to best the Dodgers in the NL West. It was the '21 Giants, who beat out a 106-win Dodgers club by one game in the standings.

Despite taking two of three games against the Yankees, the Dodgers continue to show some worrying signs as they continue one of their toughest stretches of the season.

On Monday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the NL West-rival San Diego Padres (LA 8, SD 7 in 10 innings) and did something they had not done all month: they strung together back-to-back wins.

Starting Friday night, the Giants will start a three-game set with the Dodgers, with first place in the National League West on the line. Yes, we’re not even halfway through the baseball season — have you even put in an All-Star ballot yet? — but did anyone expect the Giants to be in such a position last October? What about in January?
