Dave Roberts Admits Dodgers Pitching is 'Not the Staff We Thought We'd Have'
Briefly

In 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers are struggling with pitching injuries, having 14 players on the injured list, undermining their plans for a strong season. Manager Dave Roberts emphasizes the need to improve pitching effectiveness to complement a decent offense. The team's defensive issues, reflected in their high error count and ERA, have compounded their struggles, leading to a series of losses. Despite these challenges, patience is essential as the team navigates through injuries and aims for recovery when pitchers return to full strength.
It's not the staff we thought we'd have this season. But I feel that what we still do, and have done in the past with injuries, we're not doing.
The Dodgers rank third in the majors with 18 errors committed. This can't fully be put on the defense as L.A.'s total ERA is the ninth-highest in baseball with a 4.28 mark.
