Michael Kopech will miss the start of the 2025 season while recovering from a right shoulder impingement suffered during spring training. The Dodgers' reliever has also dealt with a stomach virus that impacted his early appearances. Kopech struggled with forearm and elbow pain towards the end of last season, contributing to limited pitching in both regular and postseason games. Despite his setbacks, Kopech remains optimistic about his recovery and anticipates returning to form. His absence compounds issues for a Dodgers bullpen already stretched thin by injuries.
Kopech noted, 'I was feeling good but I don't think (the shoulder) was ready.' This emphasizes the importance of caution in recovery from injuries.
'It's back to feeling like an actual throwing arm again, so it's no big deal,' Kopech stated, reflecting his optimism about recovery despite setbacks.
