The Los Angeles Dodgers face a challenging situation after losing pitchers Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow, both without a clear return timeline. Manager Dave Roberts firmly stated that these injuries will not affect Shohei Ohtaniâs scheduled return, which remains months away. Instead, the Dodgers are focusing on reinforcing their rotation; discussions are planned with pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki, who may need to adjust their current weekly pitching schedules. Furthermore, the teamâs bullpen usage indicates a concerning trend, as they lead the league in innings pitched by relievers.
As for what the Dodgers plan on doing in light of recent pitching injuries, Roberts did reveal the team will at least have a conversation with Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki about pitching more frequently.
Roberts had previously said Ohtani's pitching debut is still months away, and some insiders have speculated Ohtani will not take the mound until after the All-Star break.
