The Los Angeles Dodgers have faced a wave of injuries, particularly in their pitching staff, with key players like Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell sidelined. The bullpen has also been impacted, with Evan Phillips and Blake Treinen struggling to stay healthy. Most recently, Roki Sasaki has landed on the Injured List due to shoulder issues.

Despite these setbacks, the Dodgers' offensive stars such as Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, and Will Smith have kept the team competitive. However, the rotation struggles have raised questions about possibly moving Ben Casparius into the starting lineup. Casparius has shown promise in longer relief roles this season, boasting a 3.23 ERA over 30.2 innings. His adaptability and recent performance could provide a much-needed boost to the Dodgers' starting rotation as they await the return of their injured arms.
