The Los Angeles Dodgers sit atop the National League West, but their slim lead over the San Francisco Giants is just 2.5 games. And with a pitching staff decimated by injuries and a starting lineup still partially in flux, the Dodgers cannot rest comfortably and assume they will be able to coast to the playoffs.
Instead, expect the front office to be active.
At the very least, GM Farhan Zaidi would be wise to explore adding major league-quality depth to the rotation. Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke are as good a top two as any team can boast, but presumptive third starter Brett Anderson has a long injury history, and current fourth starter Mike Bolsinger has only 100 career innings in the big leagues.
