Dodgers offense struggles through difficult August stretch in 2026 season

The Los Angeles Dodgers finished August with a 13-14 record as offensive production dipped significantly. Analysis by Buster Olney labeled the unit the biggest loser of the month due to a collective performance that saw the team drop to 23rd in runs scored and 18th in home runs heading into Sunday. The team registered a.241 batting average and a.689 OPS for the month, marking the lowest point of the 2026 season. While Max Muncy and Shohei Ohtani maintained OPS figures above.780, several other roster members finished the month below.700, including Freddie Freeman, Tommy Edman, and Teoscar Hernandez. This decline follows a season where the team previously maintained an OPS above.780 in earlier months. The club remains in contention for a National League bye, but consistency at the plate remains a primary focus for the final stretch.
