After Ronald Acuña Jr. homered to open the top half of the first inning, Ohtani matched his Venezuelan counterpart with a leadoff blast of his own — a 427-foot (113.6 mph EV) bomb off of Ranger Suárez. Ohtani also walked intentionally in the third inning and rode home on a three-run homer by Shota Morishita. Ohtani will now return back to Dodgers’ camp and finish preparing for the start of the regular season.

The right-hander punched out five on the night while issuing one base on balls. He served up a leadoff homer to Ronald Acuña Jr. to open the ballgame, then allowed an RBI double to Gleyber Torres in the second. Yamamoto generated nine swings and misses on 69 pitches, posting a CSW of 32 percent. He’ll now return to Dodgers’ camp much earlier than anticipated and continue getting ready for the start of the regular season.

Betts worked a one-out walk off of Grant Taylor in the sixth inning and ultimately scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Alex Freeland. He bounced into a double play and struck out in his other two plate appearances. For the spring, the 33-year-old shortstop is hitting a solid .313 (5-for-16) though he has just one RBI and has yet to hit a home run or steal a base.

Wrobleski also issued a pair of walks in the contest while striking out three. He navigated the first inning without any issues, but the White Sox pushed across three runs against him in the second inning and another pair while chasing him in the third. The 25-year-old hurler got eight swings and misses on 68 pitches on the afternoon — five on his fastball — while posting an underwhelming CSW of 19 percent. This outing definitely didn’t help his cause in securing a spot in the Dodgers’ Opening Day rotation. Overall, he sports a 5.40 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and a 7/2 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings on the spring.

The homer left his bat at 108 mph and was projected at 419 feet. Tucker left the Dodgers for a week for the birth of his child, but he’s never been one to require a ton of spring at-bats. He’s 3-for-12 with six walks at the moment.

Hernández started the scoring in the home half of the first, smacking an RBI double off of Nick Lodolo. He then came around to score on Freddie Freeman’s run-scoring double. He followed that up by clobbering a 379-foot (101.6 mph EV) two-run shot off of Tejay Antone in the fifth that made it an 8-3 ballgame. The 33-year-old outfielder has been on another level this spring, hitting .464 (13-for-28) with a homer and eight RBI.

Muncy reached on a fielder’s choice in the opening inning and scored on Santiago Espinal’s two-run double. He then tagged Reds’ starter Nick Lodolo for a 395-foot (106.9 mph EV) two-run shot in the third inning that increased the Dodgers’ lead to 6-3. The 35-year-old slugger has been sizzling as the dish, hitting .333 (7-for-21) with a pair of homers and four RBI in Cactus League play.

The 32-year-old southpaw struck out one batter on the night. The Reds put plenty of traffic on the bases against Irvin, but he was able to limit the damage to just one run as he walked Rece Hinds with the bases loaded in the second inning. Overall, Irvin threw just 29 of his 57 pitches for strikes, getting three whiffs and posting a miserable CSW of only 19 percent. He now holds an unsightly 9.00 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and a 4/5 K/BB ratio over eight innings during Cactus League play. He should be ticketed for Triple-A Oklahoma City to open the season.

The good news is that the 33-year-old southpaw experienced no issues with the session and will continue his throwing progression from there. He’s going to begin the season on the injured list though, with a goal of returning before the end of April. Fantasy managers who want to gamble on him on draft day should plan to be without the left-hander for the first five or six weeks of the season at a minimum.

Jordan Lawlar led off the top of the first with a homer, but Glasnow retired 13 of 15 batters afterwards, getting four strikeouts with his curveball. There’s an argument that Glasnow is a little overrated for fantasy purposes at this point, as he’s still an injury risk and probably doesn’t have quite as much upside as he used to. He’s looking strong right now, though, with his velocity right at his 2025 norms.

Sasaki continued building up his pitch count and stamina out of the Cactus League spotlight after some mixed results in a handful of early-spring outings. The 24-year-old’s velocity has been there but his fastball command remains elusive. With both Blake Snell and Gavin Stone (shoulder) opening the season on the injured list, the Dodgers are probably going to need Sasaki in their early-season pitching mix even if starting the year at Triple-A might benefit his long-term development. It certainly feels like both Sasaki and dynamic pitching prospect River Ryan, who has looked phenomenal this spring, are going to make Los Angeles’ season-opening roster.

Muncy singled off of left-hander Aaron Ashby in the opening inning and advanced to third on a knock by Nick Senzel, but he was left stranded there. He then smacked a two-out single in the third inning and scored the Dodgers’ first run on an RBI single off the bat of Dalton Rushing. He’s having a strong spring, hitting .375 (6-for-16) with a homer and two RBI.

The 26-year-old right-hander struck out two batters in the ballgame. It took him 49 pitches to record seven outs in this one and he only threw 26 of those offerings for strikes. The lone tally against him came on an RBI single by Greg Jones in the second inning. Sheehan got six whiffs in the ballgame — three of them on his slider — while posting an underwhelming CSW of 22 percent. He’s still likely to open the season in the Dodgers’ rotation, but he’s going to have to be better than what we have seen in Cactus League play to hold that job once the Dodgers’ start to get reinforcements to their rotation.

Wrobleski has pitched six scoreless innings in three appearances. He’ll probably make the Dodgers as a swingman, and it’s possible he’ll prove more trustworthy than Roki Sasaki in the rotation in the long run.

Call is 7-for-14 with three walks and no strikeouts. He isn’t slated to have much to do as a bench player for the Dodgers; he was picked up from the Nationals to platoon with Michael Conforto last summer, but he’s not going to start over Kyle Tucker against left-handers. He might log time late in games as a defensive replacement for Teoscar Hernández.

The 35-year-old slugger capped off a four-run uprising off of Luis Patiño in the opening inning with his 350-foot (99.5 mph EV) solo shot. Arruebarruena hasn’t played professionally since the 2023 season and hasn’t appeared in a big league contest since 2014, so it’s unlikely that this showcase is going to spur a return.

Knack has struggled in both of his spring starts as seen in ERA of 9.64. He’s being stretched out as depth for Los Angeles, but it’s very hard to imagine that he’ll be an option for the Dodgers or fantasy managers in 2026.

Tucker will reportedly be the designated hitter Sunday after missing a little under a week while his wife gave birth to their first chld. The 29-year-old should be back in the outfield in the coming days.

That’s the bad news. The good news is Ferris was able to throw a bullpen Saturday, so it appears the Dodgers were just being careful with one of their better pitching prospects. Ferris should get another spring start in the coming days, assuming good health.

Kim’s clutch homer came against Japanese reliever Hiromi Itoh, the reigning Sawamura Award winner, in the fourth inning. It left is bat at 106 mph and traveled an impressive 410 feet, per Statcast. The 27-year-old speedster has made some noise in Dodgers camp this spring, showcasing overhauled swing mechanics, which have enabled him to drive the ball more consistently. He’s poised to open the regular season as Los Angeles’ starting second baseman while Tommy Edman recovers from offseason ankle surgery. He could deliver some sneaky early-season fantasy value, especially in deeper formats.

Ohtani finished 2-for-2 with a pair of walks, reaching base safely in all four plate appearances out of the leadoff spot. The 31-year-old two-way superstar has homered in back-to-back games for Japan as they attempt to defend their World Baseball Classic title. He continues to display an uncanny ability to meet the moment on the international stage, delivering a 408-foot moonshot in front of a packed Tokyo Dome as Japan managed to overcome an early deficit to knock off Korea. Ohtani will lead the defending WBC champions against an upstart Australia squad when pool play continues Sunday morning.

Hernández smacked an RBI double off of Mitch Spence in the first inning that extended the Dodgers’ early advantage to 3-0. He also drove home Ryan Ward with an RBI single in the fourth that capped off the scoring in the ballgame. He has been sizzling at the plate to start the spring, slashing .476/.500/.571 with four RBI and a 4/1 K/BB ratio through his first eight games.

Freeman opened the scoring in the ballgame with an RBI single off of Mitch Spence before an out had been recorded in the home half of the first. He then smacked a two-run single in the fourth that extended the Dodgers’ lead to 5-0. The 36-year-old slugger has looked as good as ever this spring, hitting .455 (5-for-11) with seven RBI and a 0/1 K/BB ratio. He remains a steady producer for fantasy purposes and a strong foundation piece on any team.

The 37-year-old infielder led off the home half of the first inning with a single, swiped second base and scored the game’s first run on an RBI single by Freddie Freeman. Rojas also singled in the second inning and again in the fourth. He’s a candidate to start at second base with Tommy Edman (ankle) sidelined to begin the season, or he could remain in his regular utility infielder role while Hyesong Kim or Santiago Espinal get the call there.

The 30-year-old hurler struck out one batter on the evening and did not allow a hit. Ryan got just one whiff on 21 pitches in the contest, posting a CSW of 29 percent. Regardless of how well he pitches this spring, he’s likely ticketed for a spot in the bullpen at Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the 2026 campaign.

Yamamoto didn’t allow a single hit in this one, but he also struggled to put hitters away. He threw 82 percent first pitch strikes, so he got ahead easily, but he didn’t get many chases out of the zone on his splitter or curve, which made it hard for him to put away hitters. Still, his velocity looked good, and his pitch shapes all seem normal, so there isn’t much to be concerned about from a fantasy perspective this season.

Ohtani got the scoring started with a 368-foot grand slam in the second inning. He would later drive in another run in the same inning as Japan scored 10 runs in the second to put the game away almost immediately. The 31-year-old later added a double for his third hit of the game. He’s a very good hitter, but that’s not news to you.

Espinal showed out in front of his former club. He got the Dodgers on the board with a sacrifice fly in the opening inning. Espinal then tagged Reds’ closer Emilio Pagan for a 433-foot (103.6 mph EV) solo shot in the third inning that pulled the Dodgers to within three runs at 6-3. He then crushed a 403-foot (105.8 mph EV) three-run shot off of Tony Santillan in the fourth inning that put the Dodgers ahead 8-6. He also tacked on a sacrifice fly in the fifth. It sounds like Espinal has already made the Dodgers’ Opening Day roster, now he’s fighting for at-bats at second base to open the season.

Irvin walked one and struck out one during the disappointing outing. His struggles stemmed from his inability to keep the ball in the yard, serving up two-run homers to Elly Da La Cruz, Will Benson and Matt McLain. The 32-year-old left-hander got just two swings and misses on 43 pitches on the day, posting a CSW of 18 percent. His chances of cracking the Dodgers’ Opening Day roster were already slim and they took a hit with Thursday’s disastrous outing.
