Dodgers Pitching Staff Ravaged by Injuries to Start Season

As the 2024 MLB season dawns, the Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves already grappling with a depleted pitching staff due to a spate of injuries. In a move that didn’t catch many by surprise, the team placed four pitchers on the 10-day injured list: Walker Buehler, Emmet Sheehan, Brusdar Graterol, and Blake Treinen. The decision to start Buehler on the IL was announced early in Spring Training, as the Dodgers look to exercise caution with their ace after he missed the entire 2023 campaign while recovering from his second Tommy John surgery.

Dodgers' Injury Woes: Buehler, Graterol Among Quartet on IL

As the Los Angeles Dodgers gear up for the highly anticipated Seoul Series, their pitching staff has taken a hit with four hurlers landing on the 10-day injured list. The move, which was finalized on Monday evening, sees aces Walker Buehler and Brusdar Graterol, along with Emmet Sheehan and Blake Treinen, sidelined for the time being. Buehler’s inclusion on the IL comes as no surprise, as the Dodgers had previously announced their intentions to ease the right-hander back into action after he missed the entire 2023 campaign while recovering from his second Tommy John surgery.
