Dodgers considering role change for Ben Casparius

Tyler Glasnow was pulled from his start due to shoulder discomfort, leading to Ben Casparius stepping up for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 3.2 innings, Casparius allowed only two hits and recorded five strikeouts, marking a perfect 3-0 record for the season. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised Casparius for his performance and hinted at a potential transition to a starting role to address the team's starting pitching needs. Casparius credited coaching for helping with his adjustments and discussed load management as pivotal to his success.

“Yeah, it's a thought. It's a thought. He gave us four innings today, he's unflappable, he flooded the strike zone and he saved our tails,” Roberts said.

“I think a lot of it is just load management with what I'm doing every day,” Casparius said. “And obviously the communication between the coaches and me, and what they're expecting, has been really good.”
