ESPN announced it has picked up three more games for its Sunday Night Baseball schedule for the 2022 regular season, including two matchups that include the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The first is a homecoming for Freddie Freeman as the Dodgers travel to Truist Park to take on his former Atlanta Braves team later this month. The series finale on Sunday, June 26, now will be aired on ESPN. First pitch was changed to 4:05 p.m. PT.
The Dodgers previously took two of three from the Braves this season during their series at Dodger Stadium from April 18-20.
L.A. will again be featured on Sunday Night Baseball on Sept. 4, when they face the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.
The Dodgers are 2-1 against the Padres this season, with 16 more matchups still to come. The Sunday Night Baseball broadcast could be pivotal in the National League West standings as the rivals are currently separated by just 2.5 games.
ESPN also will carry a game between the Houston Astros and Chicago White Sox on Sunday, June 19. As always, play-by-play man Karl Ravech, analysts Eduardo Perez and World Series Champion David Cone, and MLB insider Buster Olney will be on the call.
The Sunday Night Baseball franchise is in its 33rd season as the exclusive MLB game of the week.
The Sunday Night Baseball game generally airs at 4 p.m. PT and is available on ESPN, ESPN Radio (with Jon “Boog” Sciambi and Doug Glanville), ESPN Deportes and the ESPN App. Baseball Tonight: Sunday Night Countdown precedes the game each week at 3 p.m. on ESPN.
Dodgers making Thursday appearance on ESPN
In addition to their Sunday Night Baseball schedule, ESPN will exclusively televise several games throughout the season, including the second-half opener on Thursday, July 21, when the Dodgers host the San Francisco Giants.
The game will serve as the first coming the 2022 MLB All-Star break.
