The Los Angeles Dodgers face uncertainty heading into the 2025 season as key relievers Evan Phillips and Michael Kopech are both recovering from injuries. Manager Dave Roberts indicated that they are behind on their recovery timelines. Phillips, who led the team with 18 saves, is dealing with a shoulder tear while Kopech has a history of forearm discomfort. Their absence could significantly impact the team that aspires to repeat as champions and navigate a challenging early-season schedule.
"I've never been in this situation coming into a season. I've never been 'off track' for lack of a better term... I was eager to start throwing in December when I thought I felt well enough to start throwing."
"Kopech... was another key cog in the bullpen for the world champions... He continued to step up for Los Angeles in the World Series, allowing only three hits in his four appearances."
