The 2026 MLB Draft begins on Saturday and runs over two days with 20 rounds. Multiple outlets report that the Dodgers have 16 selections total, starting with a first-round pick at No. 40 overall and ending with the final pick of the draft at No. 613 in the 20th round. On Saturday, the Dodgers are scheduled to make two selections during the first four rounds: their first pick is No. 40 and is expected to be made around 1:30 p.m. PT, and their second pick is No. 132 in the fourth round, expected shortly after 4 p.m. PT. One report notes that the Dodgers’ number of picks has been reduced due to offseason free-agent activity, including signing closer Edwin Díaz, which causes the forfeiture of their second-round pick, and the loss of their third-rounder as part of related signing compensation rules. Separately, coverage frames Saturday’s draft day as overlapping with the Dodgers’ regular-season game night, with the first day of the draft progressing before the team takes the field against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
