Dodgers Return to Toronto for High‑Stakes World Series Rematch

The Los Angeles Dodgers will open a three‑game series at Toronto’s Rogers Centre on Monday, marking the first meeting between the two clubs since their dramatic World Series clash last season. Teoscar Hernández summed up the mood: “I think it’s gonna be great, a little crazy. The fans love baseball, they love the Blue Jays, and they want to see us again.”

Schedule and Broadcast

The opener is slated for 4:07 p.m. PT (7:07 p.m. ET) and will be aired on SportsNet LA and the MLB app, with radio coverage on AM570 (English) and KTNQ 1020 AM (Spanish).

Injuries and Lineup Adjustments

Both clubs enter the series with key players sidelined. The Dodgers are missing Freddie Freeman, while Will Smith is out, prompting Hyeseong Kim to start on the mound. Toronto’s rotation is shorthanded as Shane Bieber and Trey Yesavage remain on the injured list.

Recent Form

Toronto stumbled in a recent three‑game sweep by the Chicago White Sox—the first such sweep in a decade—while the Dodgers have posted a solid start to the season. The contrast adds intrigue to what could be a pivotal stretch for both contenders.

The series offers a chance for redemption, fan excitement, and a glimpse of what a potential postseason showdown might look like.
