""And I think you guys are seeing, and I don't want to revisit this, but the one guy we've been very mindful of is Shohei, as far as script. "But everyone else, I think if you look at the second half, we push guys. We're in a pennant race. It's not about their health, we need to win games, and I got to look at who is the best option.""
""The Dodgers were a team that leaned heavily on their relievers in the first part of 2025, which had a lot to do with the health of the rotation. That began to change in August, when Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow returned from the injured list to form a formidable group of starters alongside Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.""
The Dodgers' starting rotation emerged as the primary strength in the second half of the season after health issues earlier required heavy bullpen use. Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow returned in August to join Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, forming a formidable group of starters. The big three of Glasnow, Snell and Yamamoto frequently worked deep into games, including six outings of 100 pitches or more in eight starts. Manager Dave Roberts has emphasized pushing starters to win games now, allowing them to build tolerance for demanding outings as the team pursues another NL West title and postseason run.
