"Their starting rotation is essentially back to full strength following the returns of Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell. They are part of a staff that includes Clayton Kershaw, Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Dodgers' bullpen has also gotten healthier over the last month, with Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates and Michael Kopech recently rejoining the group."
""I mean, we've always known that if we're at full strength, as good as our offense is, our pitching is probably even better," Kiké Hernández recently said. "We're getting there. We still have a guy or two that are out, but as far as the starting rotation, we're pretty healthy right now and we feel pretty confident. There's no easy ABs against our starting rotation and our bullpen is getting healthy too. For us, it's just finding a way to score a couple runs here or there, because we know all we need is a few to be able to win games now.""
The Dodgers experienced a season-long rash of injuries but are getting healthier at an opportune moment. The starting rotation has essentially returned to full strength with Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell joining Clayton Kershaw, Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The bullpen has improved recently as Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates and Michael Kopech rejoined the group. The pitching unit ranks within the top 10 in wins above replacement (WAR) and strikeouts per nine innings (K/9). Additional bullpen reinforcements such as Brock Stewart and Alex Vesia could return this month while Kyle Hurt began a rehab assignment.
