The Los Angeles Dodgers are preparing for the anticipated return of Tony Gonsolin next week amidst multiple injured pitchers, including Michael Kopech, Blake Treinen, Shohei Ohtani, and Blake Snell. Although Snell is shut down for further treatment due to shoulder inflammation, the absence of structural damage is a relief for the team. Kopech is progressing well from a shoulder issue but still faces hurdles before returning. Treinen was placed on the injured list with a forearm sprain, while Ohtani is temporarily sidelined due to personal reasons. Manager Dave Roberts is optimistic about Kopech's upcoming steps.
"Kopech threw a 'pen [Thursday]. I think it was up near 30 pitches, used his entire pitch mix. He's going to throw another one on Monday."
"Snell has been shut down for a second time and will receive an injection. However, a second MRI confirmed Snell does not have structural damage, which the Dodgers are relieved by."
