Last season, the Los Angeles Dodgers finished the regular season with 100 wins and a rotation ravaged by injuries so badly they were only left with the variably limited forms of Clayton Kershaw, Bobby Miller and Lance Lynn for the playoffs.
They are well on track for a repeat in 2024.
The Dodgers announced Friday they were placing starting pitcher Gavin Stone, the only starting pitcher on their roster who hadn't been hurt this season, on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation.
Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman subsequently told reporters Stone would be shut down from throwing for 10 days with the viability of his return depending on how he feels at the end of the period.
