The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of MLB's best teams this season, but they can't catch a break lately. They have had several injuries at the pitcher position in the past few months. Listed below is every Dodgers pitcher who has been injured so far.
Clayton Kershaw (Shoulder)
Bruster Graterol (Shoulder/Hip)
Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Rotator Cuff)
Emmet Sheehan (Elbow/Tommy John)
Tony Gosselin (Elbow/ Tommy John)
Michael Grove (Ribs)
Tyler Glasnow (Back)
Walker Buehler (Hip)
Ryan Braiser (Calf)
Connor Brogdan (Foot)
Joe Kelly (Shoulder)
That is a tremendous list, but it gets worse for the L.A. Dustin May suffered a Torn Esophagus and is also having season-ending surgery. This sucks because May was already rehabbing from his flexor tendon injury, and now, he is back to step one with this new injury.
It's surprising that James Paxton is the healthiest pitcher on their roster at the moment, considering his lengthy injury history. The Dodgers are in a tough spot right now, but having a record of 56-40 despite all the injuries is impressive. The Dodgers need to hope their pitchers can get healthy quickly because it's uncertain if they can maintain this level of winning with the number of players currently out of the lineup.
Expect the Dodgers to be active in trade talks to strengthen their starting rotation and bolster the bullpen. The Dodgers are looking to win another World Series this season, and with the pitching Injuries growing, this is a concern.
