Dodgers Notes: Tyler Glasnow Has Setback, Bobby Miller Gets Another Chance, Shohei Ohtani Potentially Pitching in Playoffs?
The Los Angeles Dodgers once again lost this week, dropping them to 1-3 through four games. Los Angeles will look to bounce back against the Atlanta Braves in the second game of the series.
Here is what you may have missed from Friday:
How Did the Dodgers Fix Michael Kopech?
Michael Kopech’s transition from the White Sox to the Dodgers has been nothing short of revolutionary. With an adjustment to his pitch arsenal, notably the substitution of a cutter for his slider, Kopech has found new success. Since the trade, this strategic switch has rendered him nearly unhittable, boasting a 0.53 ERA with the Dodgers. This improvement in his gameplay underscores a significant development in his pitching, making him a critical asset to the Dodgers’ bullpen.
Dodgers’ Dave Roberts Doesn’t Shoot Down Speculation About Shohei Ohtani Pitching in October
As the playoffs approach, the Dodgers contemplate the possible return of Shohei Ohtani to pitching. While Ohtani has excelled as a hitter this season, Dave Roberts hints at a potential shift, allowing Ohtani to take the mound if conditions align. This move could solidify Ohtani’s spot as a top contender for the NL MVP and significantly boost the Dodgers’ pitching depth in crucial games.
Dodgers Will Give Bobby Miller One More Start After Another Disastrous Outing
Bobby Miller continues to struggle on the mound, raising doubts about his role in the Dodgers’ future plans. Despite another disappointing performance against the Cubs, where he allowed multiple runs and struggled with his command, the Dodgers are not yet ready to pull the plug. Miller is set to have at least one more start to prove his worth, but time is running out for him to make a positive impression.
Dodgers Call Off Tyler Glasnow’s Scheduled Simulated Game
Complications have arisen for Tyler Glasnow as the Dodgers halted his scheduled simulated game due to arm discomfort. This setback raises questions about his availability for the postseason, marking a significant concern for the team’s pitching strategy as the playoffs loom.
