The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing significant challenges with their starting rotation, as they currently have four Opening Day starters on the injured list: Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, and Tony Gonsolin. Snell and Glasnow, both transferred to the 60-day injured list earlier in the season, are reportedly making gains in their rehabilitation and could return soon. ESPN's Alden Gonzalez notes that while both pitchers are progressing positively, their return is not guaranteed due to the complexities of shoulder injuries.

With the Dodgers' pitching staff hit hard by injuries, the return of Snell and Glasnow could provide much-needed support just as the team is entering a crucial stretch of their schedule. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw's performance will remain vital as the Dodgers navigate this tough period while hoping for additional contributions from Yoshinobu Yamamoto and other starters.
