In 2025, the defending-champion Los Angeles Dodgers (27-14) are once again playing high-quality baseball. The Dodgers used the recent offseason to solidify their starting rotation, but shoulder issues with Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow have prevented Los Angeles from coming to full form.

With multiple pitchers set to return to the Los Angeles Dodgers' pitching staff soon, the team may surprisingly move a rookie down to the minor leagues.

The end of the pitcher's rehab assignment is expected to coincide with the earliest date he can be activated from the 60-day injured list.
