With Yoshinobu Yamamoto still working his way back and Tyler Glasnow expected to be on the IL longer than expected, where does this leave the Dodgers' starting pitching?
On three occasions Wednesday afternoon, Dave Roberts uttered the same phrase while discussing the shorthanded state of the Dodgers’ injury-plagued pitching staff. “Not ideal,” the manager said. And with October on the horizon, time is running short for the situation to improve. With a sweep of the Seattle Mariners this week, the Dodgers did maintain the best record in the majors at 76-52.
” Nonetheless, the longer it takes Glasnow to return, the more his situation will start to mirror Yamamoto’s — leaving potentially little time for him to rejoin the rotation and ramp back up before the playoffs. “He was fighting to stay off the IL and wants to be there for his teammates,” Roberts said, searching for optimism. “But I think with the build-up that he’s had, a couple weeks isn’t going to cut too much into what he’s already been built up to do.” The Dodgers can only hope so.
