"The Los Angeles Dodgers have had depth issues surrounding their pitching roster all season long, but are close to getting a key piece back in the bullpen. With one month to go until the postseason, Michael Kopech's imminent return should be an incredibly promising sign for fans as the right-hander recently completed his rehab assignment. More news: Dave Roberts Sends Message to Dodgers Amid Struggles Kopech started the 2025 season late with a shoulder impingement suffered during spring training."
"When Kopech is healthy, he has proven to be an elite hurler for the Dodgers. Since his arrival at last year's trade deadline, he tossed a 1.13 ERA across 24 appearances. In just seven innings this season, Kopech has yet to allow a run, striking out eight and permitting four walks. Manager Dave Roberts spoke on the kind of impact Kopech has on the team aside from his work on the mound."
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.
