The Dodgers were counting on seeing their starting rotation return to full strength, or close to it at least, in September as they geared up for a postseason run.
Instead, the revolving-door injured list carousel continues to turn.
Now, they are facing an immediate future without their most consistent starter all year.
Manager Dave Roberts told reporters Wednesday in Miami that Gavin Stone is unlikely to return from the injured list. The right-hander still hasn’t been able to throw since he was placed on the 15-day IL because of soreness in his right shoulder.
