Dodgers Make Unfortunate Michael Kopech Roster Move as Injury Appears Worse Than Expected
Briefly

Michael Kopech has been transferred to the 60-day injured list because his right knee inflammation is worse than initially anticipated. Originally placed on the 15-day IL, his return is now not expected until late August at the earliest. This transfer allows the Dodgers to activate All-Star right-hander Tyler Glasnow. Additionally, the team has optioned right-hander Alexis Díaz to Triple-A Oklahoma City to create space on the roster for Glasnow's return.
