Dodgers Rotation Heats Up: Glasnow Returns, Ohtani Next!
25 Aug
Summary
- Tyler Glasnow returns to the rotation after a three-month absence.
- Shohei Ohtani is expected to rejoin the team on September 1st.
- Pitching staff adjustments are being made to accommodate returning players.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are anticipating a significant boost to their pitching rotation as key players return from injury. Tyler Glasnow is scheduled to rejoin the rotation on Tuesday after an extended three-month layoff to address back issues.
Adding to the positive outlook, Shohei Ohtani is expected to make his return on September 1st. This influx of talent requires strategic adjustments within the pitching staff. Justin Wrobleski has been placed on the injured list, and Eric Lauer has transitioned to a bullpen role.
Lauer will likely operate in a "piggyback" capacity, supporting Ohtani as he works back towards pitching five innings per start by the time the postseason begins. This strategic management aims to have the team at its full potential for the playoff run.
