Although the Los Angeles Dodgers went into the regular season with an excess of starting pitchers that led to Tony Gonsolin, Jimmy Nelson and David Price being placed in the bullpen, that depth has effectively been washed away.
Gonsolin was put on the 10-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation days into the season and has yet to pitch, Dustin May was lost for the year due to requiring Tommy John surgery, and Nelson is currently sidelined by right forearm inflammation.
The Dodgers have relied on four bullpen games since May’s injury at the beginning of the month, with Price twice serving as an opener.
