The Los Angeles Dodgers are experiencing significant roster injuries, particularly among their pitchers, leading to an enormous $102 million payroll for those on the injured list. This figure is higher than the total payrolls of six different MLB teams. Key injured players like Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell contribute heavily to this sum, combining for over $60 million. Despite these challenges, the Dodgers maintain a top position in the NL West, showcasing depth with their remaining pitchers and anticipating a strong return from superstar Shohei Ohtani later in the season.
The payroll of the Dodgers' injured pitchers ($102M) is more than the total payroll of six teams (Guardians, Rays, Pirates, Athletics, Marlins, White Sox).
Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell make up over half of that payroll. Glasnow is making $32.5 million while Snell makes $28.4 million.
Although the Dodgers' rotation and bullpen are riddled with injuries, the club is still managing to remain on top of the NL West.
Los Angeles could receive a massive boost to its rotation, as superstar Shohei Ohtani has been working back as a pitcher.
