Overview

  • Tony Gonsolin was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort after posting a 3–2 record and 5.00 ERA in seven starts this season.
  • Relievers Michael Kopech and Kirby Yates were activated from the injured list to provide reinforcements for an overworked bullpen.
  • Los Angeles now has 14 pitchers on the injured list, including key starters Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki.
  • The Dodgers’ bullpen leads Major League Baseball with 272 innings pitched, raising concerns about long-term fatigue among relief arms.
  • Club executives may pursue significant acquisitions at the July trade deadline to shore up a rotation stretched thin by injuries.
