Tyler Glasnow’s recent return and Blake Snell’s expected return soon should help ease the burden on a beleaguered and generally disappointing bullpen, but it’s impossible to know what to expect from those two from a workload standpoint moving forward, let alone how effective they’ll be after such lengthy layoffs. Shohei Ohtani’s continued buildup into a full-fledged starting pitcher will also help cover some crucial innings, but one Ohtani can do only so much for this team, and L.A.’s recent struggles exemplify that. While it’s important for Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts (among others) to find their groove at the plate, if the Dodgers are to reclaim their juggernaut status, it’s even more important that the pitching staff be addressed externally.
