The Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff has been plagued by injuries throughout the season, with several notable contributors missing a significant amount of time.The starting rotation in particular has been hit hard, with Walker Buehler, Dustin May, Ryan Pepiot, Noah Syndergaard and Julio Urías among those currently on the injured list.

Clayton Kershaw turned in a scoreless start and the Los Angeles Dodgers received contributions from multiple players in a 6-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds to snap a four-game losing streak and avoid a series sweep at Great American Ball Park.Kershaw entered 4-0 with a 1.06 ERA, to go along with 36 strikeouts against only three walks in his last five starts against the Reds.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Noah Syndergaard on the 15-day injured list due to a blister on his right index finger, and recalled Tayler Scott from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to the series finale against the Cincinnati Reds.Syndergaard lands on the IL after starting 1-4 with a 7.16 ERA and 1.45 WHIP through 12 starts this season.

While the Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen managed to make up for Noah Syndergaard pitching just one inning May 9 before a blister/cut on his right index finger ripped open, the group wasn't quite as successful in withstanding a string of short outings from starters.From Monday through Thursday last week, Syndergaard, Clayton Kershaw, Dustin May and Julio Urías all failed to pitch more than five innings in their respective outing.

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost another member of their pitching staff on Saturday when Julio Urías was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.He joined Walker Buehler, J.P. Feyereisen, Micahel Grove, Daniel Hudson, Dustin May, Jimmy Nelson, Ryan Pepiot, Alex Reyes and Blake Treinen as injured Dodgers pitchers this season, with Noah Syndergaard also just recovering from a blister.

The Los Angeles Dodgers rotation has been a strength for the team to begin the 2023 season, but recent injuries and poor outings have put a strain on their bullpen and tested the starting depth.Noah Syndergaard has only pitched five total innings across his last two starts due to a blister, Julio Urías and Clayton Kershaw have combined for just seven innings in their most recent outings, and Dustin May only threw one inning before leaving Wednesday's game with a flexor pronator strain.

A rash of injuries to the Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation has created opportunities for Michael Grove and Bobby Miller earlier than expected this season.Grove was with the Dodgers on Opening Day due to Ryan Pepiot suffering a strained left oblique after his final start in Spring Training.As it was, Pepiot was due to fill in for Tony Gonsolin, who remained on the mend from a sprained left ankle.

Michael Grove shocked the baseball world when he came out firing in his first start off the injured list against the Yankees last Saturday.Grove, who averaged 93.9 mph on his fastball entering that start, threw three pitches at 97 mph or more in just the first inning alone, and ended up finishing with 10 such pitches across his five innings.

Dodgers LHP Julio Urias will not be making his return to the mound on Sunday as initially expected.Urias, who's been recovering from a hamstring strain he suffered against the Cardinals last month, was supposed to return on Sunday to face the Phillies in Philadelphia.However, Urias suffered a setback in his recovery, and is having his return timeline pushed back.

The most important pitches thrown off the Dodger Stadium mound Saturday happened when the stands were still empty, the gates still closed.Hours before the Dodgers' 6-3 loss to the New York Yankees, injured left-hander Julio Urías completed his biggest step yet in his recovery from a hamstring strain.

The Dodgers, who rank third in the league in runs scored, fifth in wRC+, 12th in DRA and fourth in run differential, enter Sunday's road trip finale with the fourth-best record in the league.That's going to include a 3-3 record at worst on the road against the Braves, who hold the fifth-best record in the league, and the Rays, who of course remain the best team in the league.

The Dodgers placed RHP Noah Syndergaard on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with a blister on his right index finger.Syndergaard has been dealing with the blister all year long, and the Dodgers felt like it was finally time to give him a reset on the IL.Obviously the blister was just a part of the problem, but the overarching issue was Syndergaard has just been unable to pitch at an even slightly decent level.

After two straight walk-off losses and an overall four-game losing streak, the Los Angeles Dodgers got back in the win column against the Cincinnati Reds to avoid the sweep with a 6-0 victory.The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead on Freddie Freeman's RBI single in the third inning following James Outman and Mookie Betts both being hit by a pitch.

Of the many missing ingredients that have afflicted the Dodgers ' struggling pitching staff, one has started looming large among the rest.The team's starters haven't pitched nearly deep enough into games.And, as evidenced by their 22nd-ranked team earned run average, it has led to a slew of cascading side effects.

Noah Syndergaard continued his tough stretch of performance yesterday, giving up six earned runs in three innings, inflating his ERA to 7.16.The offense could've added on some extra runs to make things easier for the bullpen, but that didn't happen and the Dodgers (35-27) got walked off for the second consecutive game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers look to avoid being swept by the Cincinnati Reds in the series finale following back-to-back walk-off losses at Great American Ballpark.The Dodgers' offense opened each of the first two games swinging well, putting up a combined 14 runs from innings one through four.However, L.A. has not scored from the fifth through ninth, while their bullpen has given up seven runs between the two games.

Another day, another loss in Cincinnati as the Reds walked off against the Dodgers following another comeback
While not quite as bad as Tuesday, the Dodgers led by four runs early on against the Reds before Noah Syndergaard surrendered the lead in the 3rd.An offense that scored six runs in the first three innings managed just one base runner in the final six innings and fell 8-6 on Wednesday.

It may be hard to find anyone in Los Angeles who's not thrilled about the emergence of rookie RHP Bobby Miller - but there is one guy that comes to mind.After yet another dazzling performance by Miller in the bright lights of ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, the Dodgers rookie proved that he not only belongs at the MLB level, but that he can shut down one of the best lineups in the league.

Allan made me do it.The Dodger bullpen imploded last night, as they had an 8-4 lead when Tony Gonsolin exited the game and five relievers combined to allow five runs, including a three-run ninth off Caleb Ferguson to drop their third straight game in horrendous fashion.It was a rough start to the road trip after dropping the final two games of the homestand this weekend, and now the Dodgers find themselves a game behind Arizona in the NL West.

Julio Urías has been on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain since May 20, but he now is on the verge of returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation.The original hope was that Urías would miss the minimum amount of time and return on or shortly after June 3, when he was first eligible.

After initially declining to answer if Noah Syndergaard would make his next start, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed the right-hander will take the mound on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds.The Dodgers elected to stick with Syndergaard in the starting rotation after evaluating other candidates and taking into account Julio Urías, Dustin May and Ryan Pepiot remain on the injured list
"Just trying to continue to bet on him and also looking at the guys that we have on the IL, the potential alternatives, I think netting it out, this made the most sense," Roberts said of the decision to give Syndergaard another start.

The Noah Syndergaard experiment again failed to get on track and it contributed to the Los Angeles Dodgers having their two-game winning streak snapped with a 10-6 loss to the Washington Nationals.Syndergaard allowed five runs on seven hits (three home runs) and recorded two strikeouts against two walks over five innings of work.

After dropping the series to the Yankees and losing three of the last four, the Dodgers have now added to that tally against the Reds to start their road trip.They once again rode the offense to a lead, but the pitching staff imploded, with the bullpen in particular struggling as they got walked off in a 9-8 loss.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been without Julio Urías since the middle of May, but he cleared a major hurdle over the weekend by throwing his first true bullpen session since suffering a left hamstring strain."He was good," manager Dave Roberts answered when asked how Urías looked.

The Dodgers wisely employed the "score six runs in the first inning" strategy last night, as they batted around and hit Luis Severino hard early.Clayton Kershaw bounced back from a rough May with a strong seven sharp innings, and the Dodgers took game one against the Yankees and kept pace with the Arizona Diamondbacks (what).

The Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation has been significantly impacted by injuries this season, but reinforcements are in the way in the form of Michael Grove and Julio Urías.Grove is expected to be activated off the 15-day injured list Saturday for a start against the New York Yankees.Grove has been on the IL since April 21 because of a right groin strain.

Noah Syndergaard has not gotten off to the greatest of starts in his Dodger career.That's putting it about as nicely as possible.Through 11 starts, Syndergaard is 1-4 with a 6.54 ERA and 1.39 WHIP.He's allowed multiple runs in all but one of his starts (excluding the start he left after just one inning), and has allowed five or more runs in four of them.

Jeimer Candelario hit a go-ahead two-run homer for the Nationals in Wednesday's series finale against the Dodgers.(Ashley Landis/AP)LOS ANGELES - Jeimer Candelario is a vibes guy without trying too hard.He smiles more than the average ballplayer.Latin American teammates often huddle by his locker before games, trading jokes in Spanish.

The Dodgers scratched and clawed but couldn't work around the fact that Noah Syndergaard was on the mound in a frustrating 10-6 loss to the Nationals.LA held the lead at two different points in the game but Washington just kept pecking away in a fairly unclean effort by the Dodgers.Let's take a look at the highlights of this one.

It might just be me, but it sure seems like Noah Syndergaard is stuck pitching day games, and specifically day games at Dodger Stadium, more often than anyone else in the starting rotation.And actually taking the time to look over the Dodgers' schedule this season and Syndergaard's fourth day game does indeed give him the lead on the team, breaking a tie with Clayton Kershaw and Julio Urias.

Mookie Betts didn't have time to toss his bat, unstrap his shin guard or take even a half-step toward first base.After laying off what should have been a pivotal ball four with two outs in the ninth inning of a one-run game Saturday night, the Dodgers star was instead rung up instantly - and, in a controversial moment that rankled everyone on the visiting side, incorrectly - by home plate umpire Paul Emmel for a game-ending third strike.

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced off against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday for the first time since defeating them in the 2020 World Series, but took the loss in part to Noah Syndergaard struggling through another subpar outing.The right-hander did pitch six innings, which provided some much-needed length for the Dodgers bullpen, but he also gave up six runs on eight hits.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' season-long road trip figured to be a challenge with games against the resurgent St. Louis Cardinals, National League-leading Atlanta Braves and MLB-best Tampa Bay Rays.Dodgers starting pitching continued to struggle, which resulted in losing three of four at Busch Stadium.L.A. responded with back-to-back wins against the Braves and nearly completing a series sweep.

Home/Dodgers Team News/Dodgers Notes: Scary Urias Injury Update Surfaces, Rays Start Series On Top, Kershaw Back & More I wish we could be starting off our weekend on a more positive note but the sad reality is that Noah Syndergaard struggled on the mound yet again and your Dodgers fell to Tampa Bay 9-3.

Noah Syndergaard couldn't carry over some of the success found at the end of his last start, and it resulted in the Los Angeles Dodgers losing 9-3 to the Tampa Bay Rays.The Dodgers have dropped two consecutive games and are just 3-5 on their road trip.They'll need to win Saturday, when Tyler Glasnow makes his return to the Rays starting rotation, in order to avoid potentially losing two of the three series.

Noah Syndergaard is back on the bump for the Dodgers today in Tampa Bay and is again trying to get back on track.The same thing he's been trying all season.Since his first start of the season, he's struggled to a 6.62 ERA over 8 starts with most of the damage being done early in games.And also in the middle of games... but he's focusing on the early parts of games.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have reached the final leg of their road trip as they take on the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field for a three-game set in what's their first meeting since the 2020 World Series.The Dodgers are coming off of a series win against the Atlanta Braves, which say them fall just short of a sweep.

A rash of injuries within the Los Angeles Dodgers starting rotation opened the door for prospects Gavin Stone and Bobby Miller to make starts at the big league level earlier tan most would have anticipated this season.Stone was on the mound for the Dodgers in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park, and despite some early struggles, managed to pitch into the fifth inning.

After two wins to start the series, the Braves avoided the sweep with a 4-3 win over the Dodgers, walking them off in the 9th after the Dodgers rallied back in the 8th, but stranding a small island on the bases came back to haunt them.======
Tony Gonsolin was on the mound for the Dodgers and was coming off back-to-back scoreless starts.

The Dodgers waved the white flag on Tuesday when it came to rushing Dustin May back from the injured list, transferring him to the 60-day IL.The right-hander suffered what was termed a pronator flexor tendon strain in his right forearm that Dave Roberts initially said could keep him out for at least four weeks.

The Dodgers saw their six series winning streak come to an end tonight after a 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.While they were game for most of the contest, a late homer sunk them late and a late rally fell just short.======
With the Dodgers rotation looking like a medical ward at this point, Noah Syndergaard went out to the mound and I was just hoping his finger wouldn't fall off.

Victor González gave up his first runs of the season and the Los Angeles Dodgers fell short with a late rally, resulting in a 6-5 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.Noah Syndergaard was shaky to begin his second start since having trouble with a blister/cut on his right index finger.He nearly got through a scoreless first inning after Paul Goldschmidt's single and a Nolan Gorman walk, but Willson Contreras' two-out RBI single provided the Cardinals with a 1-0 lead.

Last night's game started off a bit ominously, as the Dodgers needed length from Tony Gonsolin and Gonsolin needed 30 pitches to get out of the first inning.Gonsolin didn't exactly cruise, but did give the Dodgers five innings, which is the first time a Dodger pitcher completed five since Gonsolin's last start Sunday in San Diego.

The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen has been overworked in recent days because their starting pitchers have failed to pitch deep into games for various reasons, including injuries and poor performances.Between short outings from Dustin May, Clayton Kershaw, Noah Syndergaard and Julio Urías, along with an extra-innings game, the Dodgers bullpen had to cover 26 innings over their previous four games entering Friday.

Dodgers reliever Justin Bruihl has really been jerked around by the team this season.The left-hander has been exceptional in 9 games this season, allowing just 3 earned runs over 10.2 innings pitched.Despite that, he's been taken off the big league roster and sent to the minor leagues twice and is leaving Dave Roberts feeling a certain way.

After a rough landing last night to start both this four-game series against the Cardinals and the 10-game road trip, there were a lot less fireworks in the sequel.Both sides struggled to score for a while until the Dodgers struck in the 5th, and it was neck-and-neck until the Dodgers put up a crooked number in the 8th for a 5-0 win.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals are getting set for a four-game series this weekend at Busch Stadium.The two teams played at Dodger Stadium just three weeks ago, with the Dodgers getting the sweep, and outscoring the Cardinals 14-6 in the three-game series.Both teams enter this series red-hot, though.

Dodgers RHP Noah Syndergaard left his May 9 start against the Milwaukee Brewers after just one inning with a gnarly, bloody blister.It seemed like a sure thing Syndergaard would miss at the very least his next start, but on Monday, Syndergaard was right back out there against the Minnesota Twins.Syndergaard ended up going four innings and throwing just 59 pitches, leaving the bullpen to get 15 outs, and then a lot more after the game went 12 innings.

The Dodgers took the series opener from the Twins last night, as Phil Bickford and Phil Cuzzi turned in legendary performances to propel the Dodgers to some 12th-inning shrimp.Noah Syndergaard was solid and the Dodger bullpen struggled for the first time in a bit.Minnesota scored six runs in the seventh inning or later, but Bickford bounced back from a rough 10th inning and held the Twins off the board in the 11th and 12th to leave the door open for a walkoff.

The Dodgers put a 6 game win streak on the line after gutting out a tough extra innings victory last night.Dave Roberts was forced to burn through 6 relievers after a short start by Noah Syndergaard so, much like last week, the team will look for an electric performance from their ace, Clayton Kershaw (6-2, 2.36 ERA).

Although Noah Syndergaard pitched just one inning last week because a blister/cut on his right index finger burst open, he avoided going on the 15-day injured list and made his scheduled start for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the series opener against the Minnesota Twins.Manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence Syndergaard would get through the outing without issue and that it would not need to be a shortened start.

The Los Angeles Dodgers battled in a wild game against the Minnesota Twins to earn their sixth consecutive victory overall and 10th straight at Dodger Stadium with the help of some clutch hitting by the offense and a masterful performance from Phil Bickford.The Dodgers jumped out to a 2-0 lead early when Will Smith blasted his seventh long ball of the season, which drove in Freddie Freeman.

Max Muncy hit two of the Los Angeles Dodgers' three home runs, but they still needed heroics from Trayce Thomspon for a 9-8 win over the Minnesota Twins in 12 innings.The Dodgers extended their winning streak at Dodger Stadium to 10 games, and they are 2-0 in extra innings this season.Will Smith opened the scoring with a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning, which Muncy followed with his first long ball of the night.

Following a sweep of the Padres, the series opener against the Twins seemed like a potential letdown game, especially with Noah Syndergaard on the mound.However, the Dodgers came out firing, but the pen was uncharacteristically shaky and blew the game twice late.Thankfully, after some help from the umpires, the Dodgers won in 12 innings by an 9-8 score.

After a sweep at home against the Padres (19-22), the Dodgers (26-15) are 13-2 in their last fifteen games, are currently on a five game winning streak and have also won five consecutive series.The Dodgers enter this series with the third best record in baseball and a three game lead in the NL West.

The Dodgers go for win number 6 in a row on Mookie Betts bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium.The Minnesota Twins come to town for three games and bring some old friends (Kenta Maeda, Kyle Farmer, Brock Stewart, Joey Gallo) along with them... they also bring a long-time villain, Carlos Correa.Noah Syndergaard (1-3, 6.12 ERA) puts his glued up finger to the test against a middle of the pack offense that has posted a the 16th-best - or 15th-worst - OPS in baseball.
