The Los Angeles Dodgers are struggling with a severely depleted pitching staff, highlighted by the unusual usage of players like Matt Sauer and Enrique Hernandez in pitching roles during a game against the San Diego Padres. This situation arises as the team addresses a high injury rate among its pitchers. Meanwhile, the anticipation for Shohei Ohtani's return to pitching grows; however, the Dodgers' management stresses the importance of prioritizing his long-term health over a hasty comeback, aiming to protect Ohtani's dual-threat capabilities for the future.

With an injury-plagued pitching staff, the Dodgers faced a stark situation, calling on position players to pitch, exemplified by Enrique Hernandez's unprecedented role.
