Michael Kopech is nearing activation from the injured list after completing a rehab assignment and rejoining the Dodgers on the road trip to Pittsburgh. Kopech began the 2025 season sidelined by a shoulder impingement, then landed on the injured list with right knee inflammation and required meniscus surgery. Since joining the Dodgers at last year's trade deadline he produced a 1.13 ERA in 24 appearances. This season he has seven scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and four walks. Manager Dave Roberts said Kopech raises competition and focus. His return strengthens a thin Dodgers bullpen with one month until the postseason.
