28:04 – Ohtani vs. Roberts on Rest Days Dodgers lose 1-0 to the Padres in a pitchers' duel.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched seven strong innings (3 hits, 8 Ks, 2 walks) but surrendered a solo homer to Miguel Andújar in the first — the game's only run. Michael King was equally dominant, allowing no runs on 4 hits with 9 strikeouts.
Offensive struggles were glaring. The Dodgers went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position, left 7 men on base, struck out 10 times, and had zero extra-base hits. Key contributors like Mookie Betts, Will Smith, and Max Muncy all went hitless with runners on.
Controversial base coaching moment in the 6th inning: third base coach Dino Ebel put up a stop sign on Ha-Seong Kim after a ball got away from Fernando Tatis Jr., a decision many fans criticized given Kim's speed and Tatis's deep fielding position.
Roster moves: The Dodgers signed right-handed reliever Jonathan Hernandez to a major league deal (previously with Texas and Seattle), and optioned Chase McDermott to Triple-A.
Right-hander Ben Wiseman (shoulder inflammation) was transferred to the 60-day IL. Blake Snell to undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow — the same procedure Tarik Skubal had, with the Dodgers hoping for a similarly quick recovery (potentially return in June). Tyler Glasnow's timeline remains uncertain despite no long-term concern.
Eric Lauer — recently DFA'd by Toronto after a rough 2025 — was acquired to slot into the rotation and keep the six-man rotation intact alongside Yamamoto, Sasaki, and Ohtani.
Shohei Ohtani and Dave Roberts have a mild disagreement on rest days. Roberts credited Ohtani's recent hot streak to being "more refreshed" from rest. Ohtani pushed back, saying his improved posture and setup — not the days off — was the real key, hinting he'd prefer to stay in the lineup.
NL West standings tighten: After the loss, the Dodgers sit at 29-19, a half game behind the 29-18 Padres, making the division race more competitive and raising questions about how the offense will perform against elite pitching going forward.
