It has been a long road for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016, mainly when it comes to their rotation. They used Nick Tepesch to bridge the space from Mike Bolsinger’s last start, and then he was sent down as both Brandon McCarthy and Hyun-Jin Ryu.
They lost prospect to Frankie Montas to an injury, and Alex Wood, Brett Anderson, Brandon Beachy, Ryu, McCarthy and even Bolsinger have spent time on the disabled list.
The only ones to hold on are Clayton Kershaw, Kenta Maeda and Scott Kazmir.
