Dodgers evaluate postseason rotation with key pitchers returning soon
Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers are preparing for the postseason with a rotation currently affected by injuries. Shohei Ohtani is sidelined, while Blake Snell is expected back next week and Tyler Glasnow is on a rehab assignment. The Dodgers are currently using a six-man rotation but plan to shift to a four-man setup in October. Key pitchers for the postseason include Tarik Skubal, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and likely Snell if he returns to form. The final rotation spot may come down to Ohtani or Glasnow, depending on their health. Roki Sasaki is anticipated to shift to the bullpen like last October, given his recent performances.
