Michael Kopech, a key reliever for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has started the 2025 season on the injured list after an impressive 2024, where he posted a 1.13 ERA. He faced some early challenges in recovery due to illness affecting team members. Despite this setback, Kopech remains focused on postseason success, prioritizing long-term health over early-season appearances. Manager Dave Roberts has communicated progress updates on Kopech, who is expected to resume throwing live batting practice soon. Kopech's return is anticipated, especially given the team's current injury woes among pitchers.
"I wasn't wanting to miss any time this year but the priority for me was the end of the season last year and the end of the season this year."
"Roberts said Kopech could move to pitching live batting practice after Monday's bullpen. A minor-league rehab assignment would follow that step."
