Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers definitely have problems in their bullpen, and they definitely need to seek out solutions.

What's not so definite is that Julio Urias is the one they're looking for.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw continued to be in top form, posting his fifth straight start with at least 10 strikeouts in a 5-0 win over the New York Mets on Thursday.

Kershaw is the first Dodgers pitcher since 1913 to put together such a strikeout streak, per MLB Stat of the Day:

The Los Angeles Dodgers have suspended troubled infielder Erisbel Arruebarrena for the remainder of the 2016 season. 

Major League Baseball announced on Monday that Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Josh Ravin tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance. As a result, he will be suspended 80 games without pay.

Entering play Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers were in a free fall.

They'd dropped six straight to the lowly Miami Marlins and punchless San Diego Padres. They'd slid a game below .500 and were looking less and less like big-spending, three-time defending division champs.

MLB outfielders are having quite a week.

Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta tossed his second career no-hitter Thursday, holding the Cincinnati Reds to just four walks in a 16-0 rout.

Yasiel Puig ignited millions of imaginations when he first broke into the majors in 2013. With all his speed, power and energy, surely there would come a season when he would do it all.

Three years and many twists and turns later, the early evidence suggests 2016 may finally be that season.

Kenta Maeda's scoreless streak ended Sunday night.

But the high hopes Los Angeles Dodgers fans have for the Japanese right-hander should be alive and well.

After opening his big league career with 12 shutout frames spread over two starts, Maeda finally coughed up a run in the third inning Sunday against the San Francisco Giants on a solo homer by Joe Panik.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford is battling lower back soreness that will force him to miss extended action.
