Michael Kopech, a key reliever for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has faced significant injury issues this season, including shoulder impingement and meniscus surgery. Despite only pitching seven innings this year, he is optimistic about his recovery, targeting a return by August 27. He performed well in the previous season, maintaining a low ERA and contributing to the postseason success. Kopech acknowledges frustration over missing playing time but feels encouraged by his recovery progress, focusing on returning when it counts most for the team.
"To be honest with you, I think I could be back a lot sooner than 60 days but that's obviously not a possibility at this point," Kopech said.
"Obviously I'm upset that I'm missing this much time again, but the silver lining is it feels better right now and I'll be back when things matter."
