Ask away!
It wasn’t a pretty week, but the Dodgers finished with a bang as they won the final two games of the first half. The All-Star break is here and we won’t have another Dodgers game until Friday.
As always, feel free to ask any/all of your Dodgers related questions for the mailbag this week! I’ll be answering all of them and posting my mailbag tomorrow before the Home Run Derby!
Btw, my previous question does not take into account all returning injuries. It may be August, but Kopech will need a spot. Maybe Sasaki if he can get back in August or September. Maybe Brusdar? And does Diaz ever get a shot? Some of these guys won't make it back, some will have setbacks, etc. If it happens, I guess it's a good problem to have.
Snell and Treinen are both due back shortly after the break. Who will they replace? Will Klein is obvious for Treinen. But what about the spot for Snell?
The pen right now: Banda/Casparius/Dreyer/Klein/Scott/Trivino/Vesia/Yates
Rotation: Glasnow/Kershaw/May/Sheehan/Yamamoto
This is without factoring in Ohtani, which we don't have to because of the 2-way player rule.
Despite recent performance, Scott and Yates are not going anywhere. I'm guessing Klein and Trivino, with Snell taking May's rotation slot and shifting him to the pen in a long relief role?
The fear is Dreyer or Casparius being sent down because they have options.
