Los Angeles Dodgers face pitching depth crisis with Lauer and Klein injuries

The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing significant pitching depth issues following multiple injuries to their roster. Left-handed starter Eric Lauer has been placed on the injured list due to left elbow inflammation.

To manage roster spots, the Dodgers transferred reliever Will Klein to the 60-day injured list to address bone chips in his right elbow. Klein, a key figure in the 2025 World Series, is expected to remain sidelined until at least September 30, likely missing the remainder of the regular season.

In response to these moves, the team has activated right-handed pitcher Blake Treinen from the injured list. The rotation depth is currently limited, with the team looking toward options such as Justin Wrobleski, Gavin Stone, or Emmet Sheehan to fill gaps as the postseason approaches.
