Dodgers were able to pass the reliever to start pitcher in the middle of brutal injuries

The Los Angeles Dodgers are back after a pronounced slump, but apparently it is the injuries. Before the second inning of the 11-2 victory on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the right-handed Pitcher Tyler Glasnow left the game with the right shoulder complaints.

Glasnow departure marked the second start in a row that the 31-year-old had left for an injury. The Dodgers fans had hoped that the team had left the injury problems in 2024, but it seems that this is not the case.

The two-time CY-YOUNG winner Blake Snell is already on the injured list, and Glasnow is now kicking him.

As a result, the Dodgers remain in the rotation: Roki Sasaki, Dustin May and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Fortunately, Tony Gonsolin will bring his long -awaited return to rotation against Miami Marlins this week.

However, the Dodgers are still a starter. Clayton Kershaw is currently in a rehab task with Triple-A Oklahoma City, but can only be activated by the IL at the end of May.

Therefore, the Dodgers are considering using the helper Ben Casparius in a starting role.

The defending champion turned to Casparius with Glasnow early departure and he came through. The right -handed man did not allow runs with two goals, while he threw five strike outs in 3.2 Innerings on Sunday

Roberts said that the Dodgers will think about it whether Casparius will be a starter.

“It's a thought,” said Roberts. “He gave us four innings today. He is steadfast. He flooded the strike zone. And he saved our cocks today.”
