Gavin Stone's Injury: Dodgers Face New Challenges on Pitching Front
Gavin Stone's Setback
Gavin Stone has been the only member of the Dodgers rotation who hadn't missed a start this season. However, on Friday, he was placed on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, intensifying questions surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers postseason strategy. Stone leads the team with 25 starts, 140⅓ innings, and 11 wins, all of which are critical for the Dodgers.
Current Dodgers Rotation
With Stone's injury, the team has been scrambling as eleven pitchers have started games this season, and nine of them have spent time on the injured list. As of now, the active roster includes Landon Knack, Justin Wrobleski, Jack Flaherty, Walker Buehler, and Bobby Miller. Moreover, with just over three weeks left in the regular season, they have to adapt quickly. Added to the mix is the return of Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Tuesday, aiming to prepare for the postseason.
Pitching Prospects
- Gavin Stone's injury raises concerns for October.
- Only two pitchers remain unscathed this season.
- Clayton Kershaw's return timeline is uncertain.
