The Los Angeles Dodgers' pitching depth is being heavily tested this season with 14 pitchers currently on the injured list, including Tony Gonsolin due to elbow discomfort. The team has seen a rotation of 30 different pitchers, drawing from their Triple-A affiliate frequently. Manager Dave Roberts reflects on this unusual situation, acknowledging the inconvenience but maintaining confidence in team chemistry. He stresses the importance of making the rehabbing players feel welcomed, despite their short tenures. As injuries continue, the Dodgers anticipate roster challenges ahead with many pitchers expected to return.
To combat that, Roberts said his coaches try to make sure the players feel comfortable during their stays, which can sometimes last less than 24 hours.
For our particular club, the core is still the core. But certainly on the periphery or the ancillary players that kind of go up and down, they're kind of in and out, which is not easy for them.
