The Dodgers face the issue of having question marks around their starting rotation this year. With Trevor Bauer’s administrative leave still in place likely into April, there is no telling when or if he will be back at all. But even aside from him, they are counting on a few bouncebacks.
In MLB’s latest starting pitching projections, the Dodgers don’t even crack the top 5 in the league. They had them coming in at number 7, and rightfully so with so many possible issues that could come up in 2022.
As it stands, the Dodgers are lined up to go with a 5-man rotation.
