Why the Dodgers’ Temptation to Rush Shohei Ohtani Could Backfire Spectacularly
And let’s not forget the state of the Dodgers’ rotation: Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell are sidelined at least another month, leaving Yoshinobu Yamamoto as the only solidly dependable starter. Even Roki Sasaki’s anticipated June return remains clouded by uncertainty after a shoulder impingement dimmed his rookie promise. This pitching crisis isn’t just a hiccup—it’s a storm that could redefine the Dodgers’ season.
With key pitchers down and depth evaporating thanks to a parade of injuries to promising arms like Emmet Sheehan and River Ryan, the Dodgers’ once-vaunted rotation has been starkly diminished. Manager Dave Roberts’ knack for navigating depleted staffs will be tested early and often this season, with tough decisions looming when balancing innings and bullpen usage.
