Michael Kopech, who &#8220;was a little behind schedule&#8221; in spring training, according to manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=roberda07,roberda05,roberda06,roberda03&amp;search=Dave+Roberts&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2025-05-01_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dave Roberts<\/a>, is dealing with a finicky shoulder. The timetable for his return is still being pushed back as evidenced by being placed on the 60-day IL and off the 40-man roster. Kopech was an <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/08\/30\/dodgers-steal-trade-deadline\/\" target=\"_self\">amazing addition<\/a> to the Dodgers bullpen in 2024. The right-hander was one of the best high-leverage relievers in baseball last year when he posted an ERA of 1.13. Kopech&#8217;s uncertain return date may be a blow to a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2025\/04\/24\/dodgers-casparius-dreyer-bullpen\/\" target=\"_self\">Los Angeles bullpen<\/a> that has already logged more innings than any other team in baseball.<\/p>\n<h3>Another Stalwart Arm on the Shelf<\/h3>\n<p>Blake Treinen was placed on the 15-day IL with what was deemed a low-grade forearm sprain in the middle of April. The right-hander felt something as he was warming up to come into a game. After an MRI revealed the diagnosis, Dave Roberts said the team &#8220;dodged a bullet.&#8221; There has been no timetable for Treinen&#8217;s return.<\/p>\n<p>When healthy, the right-hander has been nothing short of spectacular for the Dodgers. His <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/10\/31\/five-dodgers-2024-world-series-moments\/\" target=\"_self\">relief appearance<\/a> in Game Five of the 2024 World Series proved pivotal for the Dodgers&#8217; world championship. His 3.38 ERA this year is high for his standards. It may be a reflection of wear and tear on his arm.<\/p>\n<h3>Playing the Long Game?<\/h3>\n<p>The Dodgers are clearly unwilling to risk further injury to their premium relief arms.
