Michael Kopech has been placed on the 60-day injured list due to right knee inflammation, limiting his appearance to just eight games this season. He pitched seven scoreless innings with seven strikeouts but faced command issues. Tyler Glasnow's activation from injury requires a roster move, resulting in Alexis Díaz being optioned back to the Majors. This is Kopech's second stint on the 60-day IL, following a previous absence for shoulder impingement, indicating ongoing health issues. The team is optimistic about Kopech's recovery and believes it may not be a long-term concern.
Kopech has appeared in just eight games so far this season, pitching seven scoreless innings while collecting seven strikeouts against four walks. The command issues have carried over from an inconsistent rehab assignment the veteran was on.
When Kopech went on the 15-day injured list with right knee inflammation July 1 (retroactive to June 28), he and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts believed it to only be a minor issue.
