Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow have re-established their places in the Los Angeles Dodgers' rotation alongside Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, creating the team's strongest starting staff this season. The strengthened rotation allows the team to rely more on starters and ease the workload on an overused bullpen that has been hampered by injuries and heavy usage. The Dodgers are operating a six-man rotation to provide extra rest for starters. Shohei Ohtani's workload remains capped at five innings per start, with any additional inning only considered for situational necessity and not in response to division standings.
We're running a six-man rotation, they're getting extra rest, My thought is to push them more, but the situation has got to call for it and they've got to allow for me to give them that opportunity. You look at [Aug. 11], I couldn't have given Yoshi more. Those are things that in a perfect world, I'd love to give him an extra inning. Absolutely.
I don't think so, I think the process that we're going through with Shohei, the approach, I believe in it and Shohei is comfortable with it. And I just don't feel that trying to push because of the standings is a smart thing to do. If we do get to six innings, it won't be a reflection or response to anything going on in our division.
