Why does the Dodgers recruit so many pitchers? The reason has been revealed.

This is because there are many injured players. "The Dodgers has as many as five pitchers who are on the 40-man roster and are recovering from major surgery," MLBTR said on the 24th (Korea time). 메이저사이트

According to MLBTR, Ben-Rusder Graterol will miss the first half of the season due to shoulder surgery. Gavin Stone underwent shoulder surgery in October last year and will miss the entire 2025 season. River Ryan, Kyle Hurt and Emmett Sheehan also underwent Tommy John surgery last year. Chances are high that they will all be placed on the 60-day injured list (IL).

Dodgers also suffered from numerous injuries last year. This year, even before the spring camp is held, five Dodgers players are expected to be on the 60-day injured list.

Clayton Kershaw also underwent surgery to repair the torn meniscus cartilage and a second operation to repair the bone protrusions and ruptured sole plates of the foot.

According to general manager Gomez, he is working on a pitching program but has not yet started pitching on the mound.

Kershaw is expected to sign after spring camp opens. This is because by deploying an injured player for 60 days, he can accommodate his addition without affecting the 40-man roster.

MLB.COM's Mark Pinesand said Kershaw's future has become uncertain due to the recent recruitment of Sasaki Rocky, and asked if there would be any room for him to enter.

Kershaw, however, returned to the court last season, though it was not expected to be available. The situation is the same this year.

However, if you say you won't throw anymore, you can't help it. The Dodgers will wait until then.

Kershaw once shouted, 'Dazer for life!'
