The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2024 season has been plagued by a series of severe injuries that have taken a toll on their roster. Key players such as Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Tony Gonsolin, Walker Buehler, and River Ryan have all been sidelined at various points, significantly impacting the team’s performance and depth.

Adding to the Dodgers’ mounting concerns, ace Clayton Kershaw recently exited his start due to yet another injury. Kershaw, who had already missed the early part of the season, faced a setback when he was pulled from the game on August 30th. Manager Dave Roberts revealed that Kershaw is struggling with a persistent bone spur in his toe, a condition that has caused considerable swelling and pain.

Roberts explained that Kershaw has been managing this bone spur throughout the year, experiencing fluctuations in discomfort. The situation worsened on Friday, forcing the team to make the difficult decision to remove Kershaw from the game to prevent additional strain on his arm. This precautionary move underscores the severity of the issue and the team’s cautious approach to avoid exacerbating the injury.

The possibility of Kershaw landing on the injured list again looms large. Roberts hinted that roster moves are imminent, stating, “I’d be shocked if we don’t have to make a move or two tomorrow.” This statement reflects the urgency of the situation, as the Dodgers were compelled to deplete their bullpen following Kershaw’s premature exit.

During the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Kershaw managed to throw just 27 pitches before leaving. His brief appearance resulted in three runs allowed and only three outs recorded. Despite this, the Dodgers secured a dramatic 10-9 victory over the Diamondbacks.

The ongoing injury crisis has severely tested the Dodgers’ pitching staff. However, the imminent return of Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow provides a glimmer of hope. Nonetheless, Kershaw’s injury comes at a particularly challenging time for the team, amplifying the pressure on the remaining pitchers and the overall squad as they navigate the remainder of the season.
