Dodgers' insane $102 million IL payroll exceeds 6 MLB teams
The post Dodgers' insane $102 million IL payroll exceeds 6 MLB teams appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Los Angeles Dodgers have spent a ridiculous amount of money in recent years to build a super roster in MLB. Injuries have plagued the roster so far, as the L.A. team has 14 pitchers listed on the injured list. Oddly enough, those 14 pitchers combined generate a $102 million payroll, which is a wildly high number. Advertisement That $102 million payroll on the Dodgers' IL is so high that it exceeds the payroll of six teams in the league, according to Spotrac and The Athletic. Those six teams include the Cleveland Guardians, Tampa Bay Rays, Pittsburgh Pirates, the Athletics, Miami Marlins, and Chicago White Sox. 'The payroll of the Dodgers' injured pitchers ($102M) is more than the total payroll of six teams (Guardians, Rays, Pirates, Athletics, Marlins, White Sox).' To be fair, Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell make up over half of that payroll. Glasnow is making $32.5 million while Snel makes $28.4 million. The rest is divided amongst pitchers such as Kirby Yates, Evan Phillips, and Roki Sasaki, to name a few. Although the Dodgers' rotation and bullpen are riddled with injuries, the club is still managing to remain on top of the NL West. Los Angeles is two games ahead of the second-placed San Diego Padres through 55 games played. Advertisement Glasnow and Snell are the two biggest losses on the Dodgers' rotation right now. But the Dodgers have found success with a rotation of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, Landon Knack, and Clayton Kershaw. It's not clear when Glasnow or Snell will return, as the Dodgers are being cautious with both of their injuries. However, the team has a solid rotation and bullpen to make do without them. Additionally, at some point this season, Los Angeles could receive a massive boost to its rotation, as superstar Shohei Ohtani has been working back as a pitcher. He'll eventually take the mound again, giving L.A. yet another star on the mound.

Tyler Glasnow placed on 15-day IL, but help is on the way for Dodgers rotation
The Dodgers focused on building up enviable starting pitching depth over the offseason, and it's a good thing that they did. As May approaches, Los Angeles has just four starters left in their rotation. One of them — Tyler Glasnow — was just placed on the 15-day IL after he was removed from Sunday's start against the Pirates with shoulder discomfort. It's worth thinking about, as well, that the Dodgers' bullpen already leads the league in innings, and their starters have thrown the fewest of them, as noted by MLB — Tuesday's start against the Mariners will be handed by the pen, as well, which will bump that lead up even further. Things simply can't go on like this forever, especially not in the crowded National League West, but they also might not have to for long. Here's a breakdown of the current state of Dodgers' starting pitching, following Glasnow's removal. Help is on the way, eventually. The 26-year-old Yamamato is coming into his own at just the right time. While limited to just 90 innings in his rookie 2024 campaign thanks to a rotator cuff strain that took 86 days of his summer away from him, he has shown no worrisome signs early on in '25, and leads the majors in both ERA and ERA+ while putting up better peripherals than his already impressive rookie figures. Sasaki is healthy, as well, but he's also struck out 20 batters against 18 walks, and overall seems pretty lucky to have a 3.55 ERA. It was always going to take some time for the rookie, in his first season away from NPB, to adjust to MLB, however, so, as long as Sasaki is healthy, there are plenty of reasons to stay optimistic in the long run. [MORE: MLB Roundtable: Is it time to worry about Roki Sasaki?] The Dodgers have avoided using May every fifth day to this point, with his starts coming on April 1, 7, 14, and 22, and the right-hander slated to pitch on April 28, as well, against the Marlins. The problem is that Los Angeles is now down more starters than they were when the season began, so May might end up having to pitch more regularly. They can't all be bullpen games. Tyler Glasnow Glasnow's 2024 season was interrupted by lower back tightness in July that cost him 18 days, and then in August his season was cut short thanks to elbow tendinitis. Before then, though, he threw a career-high 134 innings in 22 starts, with an ERA+ of 111. The Dodgers have to hope his shoulder doesn't require another lengthy IL stint or any major treatment outside of rest, so that they can get that version of him back in the rotation. The Dodgers might lose Glasnow for a time, but they are, at least, getting one arm back soon. Gonsolin, who underwent Tommy John surgery in August of 2023, will make Wednesday's start against the Marlins. Gonsolin would have been back already, but he was dealing with some discomfort in his back during spring training that kept him on the 60-day IL. While Gonsolin was below-average in 2023, he was highly effective in the preceding seasons that weren't cut short by Tommy John, so, there's some reason for the Dodgers to hope that he can help out. Blake Snell is on the IL with shoulder inflammation, which isn't good news, of course, but the fact that he's only on the 15-day IL and wasn't transferred to the 60-day tells you that the Dodgers believe he'll be able to return sooner than later. Given Snell is a two-time Cy Young Award winner whom the Dodgers signed to a five-year, $182 million deal this past offseason for a reason, his return will change the shape of their rotation the moment it happens. The when of things is the real question. Kershaw has made a pair of rehab starts in the minors, but won't be eligible to come off of the 60-day IL until May is nearly over. Whether he's going to be reinstated once he's eligible remains an open question, however. It all depends on how his surgically repaired toe feels, but, as the lefty told MLB prior to his first rehab appearance, his arm is feeling better than his toe. Kershaw won't return before he's ready, but at this rate the Dodgers might be ready for him sooner than anticipated. There is no date set for Ohtani's return to being a two-way player, as the Dodgers are intentionally taking things very slow with him in his recovery from his second Tommy John surgery. Earlier in April, he was "limited to fastballs" in his bullpen sessions as part of this slow ramp-up, with the ultimate goal being that Ohtani would be back and already having shaken the rust off by the time the postseason push and actual postseason are upon Los Angeles. Which is to say that the Dodgers can't rely on him coming back soon, but at least they've got his bat in the meantime. Hurt underwent Tommy John surgery last July, and is on the 60-day IL as he recovers from that. He won't be back in the first half of the season, and it will take time to stretch him out as a starter if that's what the Dodgers need in the second half, but he could come back as a reliever sooner if that's where there is space for him. And given how many innings the pen is already racking up, it's not just the rotation that's going to need reinforcements come that point in the season. Sheehan had his own TJ in May, and the plan was for him to start making rehab starts before the summer begins, in May or June, depending on how his rehab and recovery is going by that point. Sheehan was below-average in his 13 games with the Dodgers in 2023, but he was also just 23 years old and in his first big-league action. He was dominant in the high minors before his aggressive promotion — one necessitated by, you guessed it, Dodgers' injury woes — so there's hope he'll be better than that initial start, whenever he does end up coming back. As a 25-year-old rookie, Ryan threw 20.1 innings with a 1.33 ERA and 18 strikeouts against nine walks for the Dodgers in 2024. He entered this season as a top-10 prospect in the Dodgers' system, but he also had last season ended by Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in late-August. Given that timing, all of 2025 is likely wiped out for him. Stone was a key piece of the 2024 Dodgers' rotation, with 140.1 innings over 25 starts and an above-average 3.53 ERA. He underwent shoulder surgery in early October, however, after missing the entirety of September. There were multiple reasons the '24 Dodgers went the bullpen game route so often in the postseason, and Stone's absence was one of them. He's not expected to return in 2025, either.

Tyler Glasnow latest Dodgers starting pitcher to hit the injured list
Right-hander Tyler Glasnow has been placed on the 15-day injured list by the Los Angeles Dodgers with right shoulder inflammation in the latest setback for the defending World Series champions' perpetually injury-plagued pitching staff. Glasnow went on the IL one day after leaving his second straight start early due to shoulder discomfort Sunday. He allowed two homers in the first inning against Pittsburgh, but returned to warm up for the second inning before exiting. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that Glasnow developed "overall body soreness" in addition to his shoulder woes. "There's the mechanics piece of it, there's the uncomfortable, not feeling right," Roberts said. "As Tyler said, very frustrating, and we're all just trying to get to the bottom of it." For the second consecutive season, Glasnow has joined an alarmingly long list of Dodgers pitchers with significant injury problems. Top-line starters Glasnow, Blake Snell (left shoulder inflammation) and Clayton Kershaw (recovery from toe and knee surgery) are on the injured list, along with Blake Treinen (right forearm tightness), Michael Kopech (right shoulder), Brusdar Graterol (right shoulder surgery) and several other relievers. "Pitching is certainly volatile," Roberts said. "We experienced it last year — I think every year. I think the thing that's probably most disconcerting is leading Major League Baseball in bullpen innings. I think that that's something the starters are built up to take those innings down, so that's sort of where my head is at, to make sure we don't red-line these guys." The 6-foot-8 Glasnow has a lengthy injury history, but the Dodgers still signed him to a five-year, $136.5 million contract after acquiring the LA-area native from Tampa Bay in December 2023. Glasnow was solid to begin his debut season with the Dodgers, going 9-6 with a 3.49 ERA and a 0.95 WHIP — but he didn't pitch after Aug. 11, developing elbow tendinitis that kept him out of the postseason. Glasnow altered his delivery and his between-starts routine in an attempt to stay healthier, but he only got through five starts and 18 innings this season before his latest injury woes, going 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA. Snell, who got a $182 million free-agent deal from deep-pocketed Los Angeles last November, made only two starts for his new team before going on the shelf this month. The Dodgers used 17 starting pitchers during the 2024 regular season while their rotation was altered almost weekly by major injuries. Los Angeles won the World Series while relying on an October starting rotation of late-season acquisition Jack Flaherty, Yoshinobu Yamamoto (who missed three months of the regular season) and Walker Buehler (who also missed three months) along with multiple bullpen games. Flaherty and Buehler departed in free agency when the Dodgers declined to re-sign them. Gavin Stone, who led LA with 25 starts last season, is out for the entire 2025 season after right shoulder surgery. The Dodgers' high-priced starting rotation is thin yet again in 2025: LA will have to throw a bullpen game Tuesday against the Miami Marlins, while former All-Star right-hander Tony Gonsolin will return to the mound Wednesday to make his first start since August 2023 after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Gonsolin's return is part of the good news for the Dodgers' staff. Dustin May, Monday's starter, is also back in the rotation after missing two years with injuries, while Yamamoto and newcomer Roki Sasaki have remained healthy this month. And two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani is expected to make his Dodgers debut on the mound in the first half of this season, although the team hasn't set a timeline. Roberts isn't sure how he will fill out his rotation when the Dodgers begin a road trip with 10 games in 10 days on Friday in Atlanta. The Dodgers might stretch out reliever Ben Casparius, a longtime starting pitcher before he reached the majors. The Dodgers recalled right-handed reliever Noah Davis to fill Glasnow's roster spot.

Tyler Glasnow is the latest Dodgers starting pitcher to hit the injured list
Eric Samulski assesses the state of the Seattle Mariners' rotation with Logan Gilbert placed on the 15-day IL and which pitchers will see a boost in fantasy production as a result.
