The Los Angeles Dodgers delivered two unfortunate news a day.
Gavin Stone, the most reliable pitcher in the starting rotation, was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation.
Slugger Teoscar Hernandez was then replaced by an 81-mph slider thrown by Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Matthew Boyd on the 7th (Korea time). Chris Taylor was the pinch runner and the Dodgers lost 1-3.
Hernandez, who was hit by the ball, couldn’t get up with one knee bent. After that, he limped to first base, but the pain continued and he was eventually replaced by Taylor.
According to MLB.COM, the level of concern about Hernandez’s injury, which Roberts sensed after the game, is “high,” suggesting that Hernandez is on the injured list.
Roberts said, “It’s not good. I can barely move my feet. … We’ll see how he comes out for a few days,” he said.
Hernandez’s injury could be another huge hit for the Dodgers in an otherwise injury-ridden season. Hernandez, who signed a one-year $23.5 million contract with the Dodgers, ranks second in the team this year after Shohei Ohtani with 28 home runs and 87 RBIs.
If Hernández leaves, the Dodgers are expected to use Kiké Hernández, Andy Pazas and Taylor as left field depending on the opposing pitcher. 메이저사이트
Earlier, even Gavin Stone (25) who seemed as strong as a stone collapsed.
The Dodgers announced the recall of right-hander Landon Neck and left-hander Justin Roblesky. In a corresponding move, it sent right-hander Michael Peterson down to Triple-A and placed right-hander Stone on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.
Stone pitched 11 wins, five losses and 3.53 ERA this season. However, he showed poor performance by allowing five runs in five innings in the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in five innings on Sunday.
Stone performed well with an ERA of 2.73 through June, but has been sluggish sharply since July, recording an ERA of 6.27 and only 4.13 in August.
With Clayton Kershaw on the injured list following ace Tyler Glasnow, even Stone left, and the Dodgers faced a difficult challenge at the end of the season.
Yamamoto Yoshinobu returns, but it is unclear whether he will be able to regain his old pitching.
