"We haven't gone through the rotation yet for the next 10 days, which is going to be kind of hard if you're looking at off days and things like that, so we're talking through that right now. Certainly, we have a lot of stability. Especially with Shohei built up and expect to get him through five [Wednesday]. The guys are throwing the baseball really well and I know our 'pen is in a good spot too."
"The Dodgers currently have 13 pitchers on their active roster, but it's technically 14 because Ohtani doesn't count toward the cap. But with Max Muncy, Hyeseong Kim, and Tommy Edman due to be activated from the injured list over the course of this month, the Dodgers would need to make some roster decisions if they want to move forward with 14 pitchers."
The Dodgers currently use a six-man rotation while only five pitchers occupy traditional starting roles thanks to Shohei Ohtani not counting toward the active-pitcher cap. Teams are limited to 13 pitchers through August and the cap expands to 14 in September, allowing potential bullpen reinforcements if the rotation trims to five starters. Manager Dave Roberts said the club feels good with a six-man setup but has yet to finalize plans around upcoming off days and rotations. Max Muncy, Hyeseong Kim, and Tommy Edman are due back from the injured list this month, creating roster decisions. Carrying 14 pitchers could maximize bullpen options and preserve top starting arms.
