Michael Kopech undergoes surgery for torn meniscus in latest Dodgers crusher
The Dodgers' brutal week just got worse. In the midst of a six-game losing streak, the team moved reliever Michael Kopech to the 60-day injured list after he underwent surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his right knee, the Orange County Register reported Wednesday. Kopech is still expected to return before the end of the season, according to the outlet. The 29-year-old threw just seven innings in eight appearances before landing on the 15-day IL with right knee inflammation on July 1, retroactive to June 28.

To open an active roster spot for Glasnow, the Dodgers also optioned right-handed pitcher Alexis Díaz to the minor leagues. Kopech, a native of Longview, Texas, was terrific for the Dodgers last year after getting traded midseason from the White Sox. He posted a 1.13 ERA in 24 regular-season innings with LA, and also tossed nine postseason frames as the Dodgers rolled to the World Series title.

Jason Szenes / New York Post Kopech, a first-round pick of the Red Sox in 2014, was traded to the White Sox as a prospect in the 2016 Chris Sale trade. He made his MLB debut with Chicago and pitched the first four and a half years of his big league career with the White Sox before getting dealt to Los Angeles. Now, Kopech joins a long list of Dodgers pitchers on the 60-day IL, including starters Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, Tony Gonsolin and River Ryan, and relievers Blake Treinen, Brusdar Graterol, Evan Phillips and Kyle Hurt. Nonetheless, the Dodgers (56-38) still own the best record in the National League and the second-best record in baseball. They have a five-game lead on the second-place Giants in the NL West standings heading into a three-game series in San Francisco this weekend.

Dodgers activate RHP Tyler Glasnow, move RHP Michael Kopech to 60-day
(Photo credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images) The Los Angeles Dodgers activated right-handed starter Tyler Glasnow from the 60-day injured list, while moving right-hander reliever Michael Kopeck to the 60-day IL with right knee inflammation. In order to get Glasnow on the active roster to face the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday afternoon, the club optioned right-hander Alexis Diaz to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Glasnow, 31, last appeared in a major league game on April 27 and has been on the mend ever since with shoulder inflammation. He was 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA in five starts before his injury. Over 10 seasons with three clubs, including six with the Tampa Bay Rays, Glasnow is 40-33 with a 3.83 ERA over 154 appearances (115 starts). Kopech, 29, was acquired from the Chicago White Sox last season and was a key member of the bullpen in the Dodgers' run to a World Series title last season. He started the season on the IL with elbow and shoulder injuries before not allowing a run in eight appearances this season. Kopech received a pain-killing injection to his knee last week after going on the IL July 1 and will not be eligible to return until the end of August. Diaz, 28, was acquired by Los Angeles in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds on May 29 but has not made an appearance with his new club. He was 18-14 with 75 saves and a 3.21 ERA in four seasons with the Reds, including an All-Star Game appearance in 2023. In an additional move, the Dodgers traded outfielder Steward Berroa to the Brewers for cash considerations. Berroa, who had 28 games of major league experience with the Toronto Blue Jays last season, was designated for assignment last week. --Field Level Media

MLB/ Ohtani to make 4th start Saturday. Kopech becomes 12th Dodgers pitcher on injured list

(AP Photo) LOS ANGELES--Shohei Ohtani will make his fourth start on Saturday, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday while the team announced reliever Michael Kopech had become its 12th pitcher on the injured list. Ohtani will again serve as an opener and Justin Wrobleski is expected to follow as a bulk pitcher against Houston. The Japanese two-way star threw 27 pitches over a season-high two scoreless innings last weekend at Kansas City, giving up a hit with one strikeout and one walk. Kopech said he had scans on his right knee that didn't show any serious issues. The 29-year-old right-hander received a shot to ease inflammation. 'I don't think it'll be a long-term situation,' Roberts said Tuesday. The IL move was retroactive to Saturday. Kopech missed the first 64 games of the season while working his way back from a right shoulder impingement that he sustained during the team's postseason run last year. Kopech has thrown seven scoreless innings in eight appearances. Right-hander Will Klein was recalled from Oklahoma City, five days after he was optioned to the Triple-A farm team. Acquired June 2 from Seattle for left-hander Joe Jacques, Klein threw 3 2/3 scoreless innings in two previous appearances with the Dodgers this season In other pitching updates: — Japanese rookie phenom Roki Sasaki (shoulder) is pain free and threw from flat ground Tuesday. 'The velocity, the effort, intensity, all that stuff has really ticked up,' Roberts said. 'Physically, he looks good.' The manager said he's not sure when Sasaki will throw from a mound, but he pronounced himself 'pretty optimistic.' — Tyler Glasnow (shoulder inflammation) will make his next rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The right-hander is expected to ramp up to five innings and 75 pitches. — Blake Snell (shoulder) and reliever Blake Treinen (forearm) each will throw to hitters on Wednesday.
