The Los Angeles Dodgers are rising in Newsweek’s power rankings.
Even while dealing with critical injuries to several of their star players like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Mookie Betts, the Dodgers managed to reach 50 wins this week and rise to No. 3 in Newsweek’s weekly rankings.
The Dodgers are now ranked only behind the first-place Philadelphia Phillies and second-place New York Yankees. Rounding out the top-five are the Cleveland Guardians in fourth and the Baltimore Orioles in fifth.
The Dodgers rose after winning five of their last seven games. They are currently on a four-game win streak.
