"Between being unavailable at the start of the season due to a right shoulder impingement and then needing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, Kopech has made just eight appearances for the Dodgers this year. He started a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 14 and pitched in seven games for the Dodgers' affiliate. The 29-year-old's results left a lot to be desired as he gave up seven runs on six hits and walked nine against five strikeouts in 5.1 innings pitched."
""It feels like it's been a long season. I've had two stints on the 60-day, which you never want to go in on the IL in general, but definitely don't want to miss this many games," he said. "I've pitched like eight innings this year for a team that I really like being a part of. "I know we all have the same objective in mind, is to go win another championship, and to not get to be a part of what it's looked like so far, at least not very much, is disappointing. So I'm definitely eager to get back. It has been a long road, but the end of the story isn't written yet, so could be very rewarding.""
Michael Kopech was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and added to the Dodgers' expanded September roster, bringing the 40-man roster to capacity. MLB rules permit teams to add one position player and one pitcher for the final month of the regular season. The Dodgers also activated Hyeseong Kim off the 10-day IL. Kopech missed much of the year after a right shoulder impingement and surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee, making just eight appearances. He began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 14 and struggled in seven minor-league outings, though his major-league line shows seven scoreless innings with three hits allowed, eight strikeouts and four walks.
