Listen in the appLos Angeles Dodgers face a rotation crisis as Blake Snell heads for surgery and Tyler Glasnow battles injuries. Can Dave Roberts patch things together with bullpen games and new recruit Eric Lauer? Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto shoulder a heavier load as the team heads into a pivotal stretch. Has MLB entered a new era for elbow procedures, and will the Dodgers’ depth hold up under the strain?
Across the league, the Houston Astros lose Jose Altuve to a grade two oblique strain—his 15th trip to the injured list—while the Yankees and Mets both face major setbacks with Max Fried and Clay Holmes sidelined. Brett Chancey and Mike Stanton break down what these injuries mean for team strategies, highlight fan-driven excitement in St. Louis, and predict which stars might return for the postseason push. Can these clubs maintain momentum, or will injuries dictate their playoff fate?
