The Los Angeles Dodgers have been plagued by injuries throughout the regular season, but they are finally starting to get healthy at the right time.
Their starting rotation is essentially back to full strength following the returns of Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell. They are part of a staff that includes Clayton Kershaw, Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
The Dodgers’ bullpen has also gotten healthier over the last month, with Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates and Michael Kopech recently rejoining the group.
“I mean, we’ve always known that if we’re at full strength, as good as our offense is, our pitching is probably even better,” Kiké Hernández recently said.
“We’re getting there. We still have a guy or two that are out, but as far as the starting rotation, we’re pretty healthy right now and we feel pretty confident. There’s no easy ABs against our starting rotation and our bullpen is getting healthy too.
“For us, it’s just finding a way to score a couple runs here or there, because we know all we need is a few to be able to win games now.”
Even with multiple starters and relievers missing part of the season, the Dodgers have still received solid production from their pitching staff at various points in 2025.
Among other statistics, the unit ranks within the top 10 in wins above production (WAR) and strikeouts per nine innings.
Dodgers pitching staff reinforcements
While their starting rotation is as healthy as ever, the Dodgers bullpen may still get a few key contributors back before the end of the season.
Brock Stewart and Alex Vesia should return at some point this month, while Kyle Hurt may be an option as well after beginning a rehab assignment on Tuesday.
