Overview
- The Dodgers said seven players will open the season on the injured list, including Blake Snell, Gavin Stone, Brusdar Graterol, Brock Stewart, Landon Knack, Jake Cousins, and Tommy Edman.
- Bobby Miller was moved to the 60-day injured list with right shoulder soreness, which opened a 40-man roster spot.
- Los Angeles signed reliever Jake Cousins to a major-league deal, though he is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and is expected back around midseason.
- Tommy Edman is the only position player on the list as he continues his recovery from right ankle surgery, with reports pointing to a late May return.
- The run of shoulder issues concentrates the early strain on the rotation and bullpen, and it underscores how MLB’s injured-list rules work for timing and roster space for pitchers and position players.
