"It's just super exciting to be in this locker room, like just watching Yoshi do everything he does on a day-to-day basis and like how Blake Snell goes about it. Everyone just kind of does it their own way and we just feed off each other. A lot of these young guys are definitely, including myself, we still see what these guys do, but it's just exciting just watching the day-by-day routine."
"While it's uncertain if the Dodgers will need Hurt or not for the coming season, his solid showings throughout spring training and the promise he showed in MLB in both 2023 and 2024 will definitely keep him in the running for a run of games in the big leagues this year."
Kyle Hurt, a 27-year-old right-hander, was optioned to Triple-A by the Los Angeles Dodgers, eliminating his chance to make the Opening Day roster. Despite limited MLB experience across four appearances, Hurt has demonstrated strong performance metrics with a 1.13 ERA in 8.2 innings pitched. After undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2025, he completed a successful rehab assignment with a 1.93 ERA in Triple-A. During spring training, Hurt made seven Cactus League appearances, posting a 3.68 ERA across 7.1 innings with five scoreless outings. He expressed enthusiasm about learning from veteran teammates like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Blake Snell. The Dodgers may still utilize Hurt during the season given their recent pitching availability challenges.
