​January 31, 2026, Los Angeles, California, USA: Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts speaks to the media at DodgerFest, an event to celebrate the start of the 2026 season at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California on January 31, 2026.

Dave Roberts’ résumé as the Dodgers manager was already impressive, with three World Series titles, but his team’s latest 5-1 victory over the Giants put him in elite company.The Dodgers appointed Dave Roberts as their manager ahead of the 2016 season. Since then, the Dodgers have recorded at least 100 wins multiple times. This season marks the first 100-win campaign since 2023 and the sixth such season since Roberts became manager. The accomplishment puts Roberts alongside two legendary managers, Joe McCarthy and Bobby Cox, who also guided their teams to six seasons with at least 100 victories, perYahoo Sports. While achieving this feat is something to be proud of, for Roberts, the milestone is less about individual success and more about the team that ground its way through the grueling 162-game regular season.“Tough, resilient. It took a lot of us to get to 100 wins, and we went through a lot of things this year. No one complained, made an excuse, and you know the body of work of 162, pretty impressive,” Dave Roberts said on Sportsnet LA.The Dodgers defended their NL West title this season and earned a postseason bye.

Their biggest setback came in the form of superstar Shohei Ohtani.The Dodgers keep finding ways to win even when things get messy.

The Dodgers ultimately had to shut him down from pitching due to left knee inflammation that aggravated every time he was on the mound. Ohtani also faced setbacks at the plate, and even landed on the IL for the first time in his Dodgers career. Biceps and neck discomfort hampered his hitting.Moreover, the Dodgers’ two biggest offseason additions, Kyle Tucker (.233 BA) and Edwin Diaz (8.68 ERA), also did not deliver what was expected of them. Though Tucker’s struggles were mainly at Dodger Stadium, Diaz was unable to perform in high-leverage situations. The reliever’s problems mainly started after his IL stints due to right elbow surgery and subsequent neck inflammation. He blew 4 saves this year.Just before Sunday’s game, the Dodgers also lost Blake Treinen to a season-ending shoulder injury.
