During a September with a big NL West lead, their main task might be determining which pitchers are available, and it’s not that simple.
LOS ANGELES — The 2022 Dodgers could end up being the greatest team of all time. They could also blow a tire between now and early November. And the difference might hinge on the balkiness and unreliability of shoulders, elbows and forearms.
The Dodgers have had 14 pitchers spend time on the injured list this season, or one more pitcher than was allowed on an MLB roster from mid-June through the end of August. Two have not thrown a pitch this season: Victor Gonzalez and Danny Duffy. Two are done for the season: Daniel Hudson and Buehler .
In a sense, the Dodgers’ rotation was patched together from the start. You wouldn’t know it from the performances of Gonsolin and fellow All-Star Tyler Anderson , along with ace-level performances from Julio Urías and tantalizing outings from Andrew Heaney when healthy. There are limits, of course. Roberts is trying hard not to make it sound like there are auditions for the closer’s role, but anyone who has paid attention in October over the last decade understands how much of an Achilles heel the ninth inning has been and can be.
