The Los Angeles Dodgers face a significant challenge in their bullpen due to injuries to key right-handed pitchers Evan Phillips, Blake Treinen, and Brusdar Graterol. Treinen is closest to a return, but the absence of these players has led to a shortage of right-handed options, forcing Ben Casparius into overworked roles. Michael Kopech, recently on the IL after surgery for a torn meniscus, is expected to return this season, providing a boost to the bullpen as the Dodgers navigate their pitching difficulties.
Dave Roberts shared positive news regarding Michael Kopech's knee surgery, describing it as a "minor cleanup" with the expectation that he'll return this season, alleviating concerns about the injury.
Kopech has emerged as a crucial component of the Dodgers' bullpen since being traded from the White Sox, gaining importance with the injuries sidelining other pitchers.
