Ohtani to Make 4th Start Saturday. Kopech Becomes 12th Dodgers Pitcher on Injured List
- The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed 29-year-old reliever Michael Kopech on the injured list due to inflammation in his right knee, with the move retroactive to June 28.
- Kopech's injury follows his return from a right shoulder impingement sustained during last year's postseason and scans showed only inflammation requiring a shot.
- Kopech has made eight scoreless appearances this season, throwing seven innings with a 0.87 ERA after moving from the rotation to bullpen in 2024 following his trade from Chicago.
- On Tuesday, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence that Kopech’s injury is temporary, emphasizing that the pitcher is currently pain-free and the measures taken are purely precautionary.
- Shohei Ohtani is scheduled to take the mound for the Dodgers on Saturday, marking his fourth pitching appearance, with plans to deliver up to five innings and around 75 pitches as the team prepares for the postseason.
