The 2023 Dodgers overcame a ton of obstacles this season, and while the season didn’t end the way anyone would have hoped, we can still appreciate that. Of course, winning a World Series is the ultimate goal, but the LA starting rotation was nowhere near where it needed to be to win.
They were missing quite a few players, with one of them being star Walker Buehler. Buehler missed the entire 2023 season after having Tommy John Surgery. There was hope for him to possibly return in the later parts of the year, but that was ultimately stopped after he made one rehab start.
