"Gomes admitted that it's unknown as to how the Dodgers will operate when it comes to their collection of starting pitchers in 2026. "I think that's a conversation we'll have with him as it gets deeper into the offseason, but it'll probably look more like a normal schedule than last year, but obviously that can be fluid. And everything we'll do is with the big picture mindset," Gomes said."
"The Dodgers are playing for October. As was the case this past year, the team will essentially sacrifice regular season wins in order to keep their assortment of starters healthy. Shohei Ohtani and Tyler Glasnow have somewhat extensive injury histories. The same can be said for Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki to an extent. This quartet, along with Yamamoto and Emmet Sheehan, project to be the six-man group in 2026."
Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the only 2025 starter projected to return after throwing at least 100 innings. Clayton Kershaw retired following the World Series victory and Dustin May was traded to the Red Sox and is now a free agent. General manager Brandon Gomes said the team has not settled on how to structure the 2026 starting staff and left a six-man rotation as an option. The Dodgers will prioritize postseason readiness, sacrificing regular-season wins to keep starters healthy. Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki carry injury histories, and Emmet Sheehan joins Yamamoto in projected depth for 2026. The organization plans to manage workload and IL stints to preserve arms.
