June 13, 2018 10:11 pm Dodgers' Chase Utley: Takes batting practice Wednesday by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire Utley (thumb) took batting practice prior to Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic Los Angeles reports. Utley has been on the disabled list since May 30 with a left thumb sprain. While this is an encouraging step for the veteran infielder, he remains without a timetable for his possible return.

Share: Twitter Facebook Take your time Chase. We want to make sure you're 100%. I'm much more concerned about our rotation. Maeda looked good but a little rusty last nite, and Hill will be back soon. Kershaw's return isn't too far away, and Buehler should be back before the end of the month. They all might be a little rusty in their first start, but if they can all avoid more injury, we're WS bound again. When they're all back, what'll we do with Stripling? Wood is the only member of the rotation who's avoid the DL, but he sounds like he's not far from it, and he's having a bad season. Putting him on the DL might not be a bad idea the way Strip has pitched. Martinez is hurt and Ferguson looked good in his second start. The obvious move is to send Ferguson down. Nice problem to have! With our rotation in tatters, we're right in the thick of the race huh? |

Nice problem to have! With our rotation in tatters, we're right in the thick of the race huh? Exactly. At least we found out how much depth we really have. Even Dave Roberts was concerned about the alleged lack of depth before the season began. The Dodgers are 18-6 with Kershaw, Hill & Ryu on the DL. Maeda just came back last night. Buehler will be gone a while just as start getting guys back. Stripling has been spectacular. Urias returns after the All-Star break. I see no reason for concern. On the contrary. We should be delightfully surprised. |

I think Buehler will be brought back later (innings watch thing). I want to see more of Ferguson if one of those guys has to go on the DL again. I think he'll be the 6th, fill in starter as needed. I hope they let him go more than 60 some pitches next time out if he's doing well. I want to see Hill go to the pen. I'm tired of Mr. Glass, I'd say he blisters up or gets DLd again within 5 starts. In all the starting pitching should look pretty good post All- Star break, more depth with Ryu and Urias possibly. |

In all the starting pitching should look pretty good post All- Star break, more depth with Ryu and Urias possibly. On the MLB home page, there's a good article about Jake DeGrom, speculating his trade destination, and we're one of six teams. Two of our top prospects, #6 Jerren Kendell and #7 Yadier Alvaraz are mentioned. I've said before we should trade them, cos there's really no future for either of them on the varsity. Kendell doesn't have enough power and is years away, and Alvaraz's K/BB ratio is negative, with 20 BBs and 17Ks in only 15 innings. If he can't throw strikes in AA, how will he do so in the bigs? It might take more than those two to land DeGrom, IF we do deal for him, like Mitch White. And as I said above, Wood is pitching hurt and it shows and doesn't sound like he's far from the DL, and he'd make the entire rotation that started the season on the DL. Wood started the season as the #2 starter, but now he'd be the #5 starter. I'm not worried about Beuhler's innings. The best way to get more endurance is to get out there and pitch. I'm as bummed as anyone about Denis Martinez's strained rotator cuff, but since it's not torn, I'd say he'll be back August. So many options that other teams dont' have! |

If that's all it will take for the team to land deGrom then WOW and get it done. Kendell doesn't tickle my fancy and neither does Alvarez I have never been on the untouchable wagon for him even a couple of years ago when he was actually doing good. So, yeah, others that can be included for me are Mitchell White, Dustin May, Verdugo, etc. on the big league roster Joc, Forsythe, Muncy, Wood, Hill, Maeda etc.  any sort of combination. The guy is a controllable ace. I would like for them to pitch Buehler the most he can but I think they don't want to do that. Another guy that they should look into is Cole Hamels sounds like a Verlander 2.0 situation from last year. I don't know how the money would fit for this year but he can be kept for $20 million next year or bought out for $6 million next year. The catch is if he pitches 200 innings this year or he pitches another 167 innings for 400 IP for 2017- 18 then the team might be on the hook for $24 million bucks next year. Another guy is Jose Abreu who is also under control and could be a nice alternative to the now expensive Machado and expensive in the future. |

Sure on the message boards we thought highly of him, but in reality prospects have to excel at least at high A before they start to get a lot of trade value. |

Dodgers' Pedro Baez: Sent to disabled list with biceps injury
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Baez was placed on the disabled list with right biceps tendinitis, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports Friday.
Baez will be replaced on the Dodgers roster by Kyle Farmer. No timetable for Baez's return has been released yet, but he'll be eligible to return from the disabled list June 25 against the Cubs.

Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Throws 55 pitches off mound Friday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Kershaw completed a 55-pitch session including a simulated inning break without issue Friday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.
One of the biggest concerns with Kershaw's back injury was his endurance across not just a high pitch count, but with the up-and-down nature of pitching multiple innings as well. The Dodgers seemed satisfied with his status after Friday's work. Expect a rehab plan to be formulated soon. Kershaw still appears on pace for a return to the Dodgers in early July.

When Hill returns next week, we send Ferguson down. Who'll we send down with Kershaw returns? I hope Hudson! He's a gascan! Who is going to be the fifth starter if Ferguson is sent down? The rotation will be Kershaw, Wood, Hill, Maeda and Stripling. When Beuhler comes back, Hill will go to the bullpen at his request. Let's face it, Ferguson had a reasonably good second start, but it's obvious he's really not ready for the bigs. |

I get that your excited to demote Ferguson, but until they announce a date for Kershaw’s return he is going to stay in the 5 man rotation. Bullpen is overworked as is, I don’t see them going with a 4 man rotation if they can help it. |

Bullpen is overworked as is, I don’t see them going with a 4 man rotation if they can help it. I wouldn't worry too much about the bullpen. Most of them pitch once in every two to three games and then one inning. Having said that, I dont' like the approach nowadays to pitching. Teams now carry 13 pitchers and that's not good, considering there are now three or four bench players to pinch hit. Two notable ex-mlb pitchers also don't approve: Nolan Ryan and Mike Marshall. Ryan was a mutant, who could throw over 200 pitches in a start and be strong for his next one, and he pitched till he was 47 with 7 no hitters, his last one at age 46. Marshall still holds records for most innings by a reliever, 208, which is more than many starters nowadays, and 106 games. You probably know he has a doctorate in kinesiology and he's disgusted by the ways young pitchers are handled today: "trainors think Sir Isaac Newton invented the fig newton and don't know a rotator cuff from a trouser cuff". A funny analogy, but it drives the point. I have lots of confidence in Ferguson, but he needs more seasoning. |
