Dodgers Don't Want to Utilize Six-Man Rotation in 2024
Briefly

Tyler Glasnow has thrown as many as 100 major league innings twice in eight seasons. James Paxton hasn't thrown 100 innings since 2019, and had his contract restructured after his physical due to concerns about his knee. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has never thrown a pitch in Major League Baseball and is used to pitching once a week. Walker Buehler is coming off his second Tommy John surgery and Bobby Miller pitched more innings last season than any year of his life.
Because then you have a seven-man 'pen. It's gonna be a little bit of a shell game. But we feel really good with the depth and quality of arms that we have. And there will be periods where having more length in the 'pen serves us when we're playing a lot of games in a row, and others where we have a lot of days off and can go a lot shorter. There are gonna be a lot of conversations that we have to put ourselves in the best position to win baseball games." - Andrew Friedman via Southern California News Group
I think the downside is just kind of when you do that, with off days, there are other guys that don't need all that extra time. So you're just kind of ... trying to be as sensitive to everyone and that middle - to get guys ample time in between starts but also not giving certain guys too much time. So there's a little middle that you're trying to deal with." - Dave Roberts via Southern California News Group
