The Los Angeles Dodgers hit turbulence as they struggle with MLB’s new Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system, winning only 3 of their first 14 challenges, far below league average.

Are the defending champs at risk of this weakness haunting them during critical games? Harry Ruiz and Travis Rogers untangle the strategy — who should control the challenge button?

Gavin Stone’s promising comeback halts after shoulder discomfort, putting his Opening Day rotation chances in jeopardy and testing the Dodgers’ pitching depth alongside Blake Snell’s delayed start. Meanwhile, prospects Dalton Rushing and James Tibbs III make spring training noise, challenging roster logjams and igniting trade speculation.

With Opening Day nearing and the Dodgers’ young talents seizing their moment, will LA’s depth and adaptability keep championship hopes intact? All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers!
