Dodgers’ Kyle Hurt Injured: Ramirez Called Up, Buehler Close on Blues
The Dodgers have placed right-hander Kyle Hurt on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, with his placement retroactive to April 17. Nick Ramirez has been called up from Triple-A to replace Hurt on the roster.
By the Numbers- Hurt has a 1.04 ERA over his 8 2/3 total MLB innings this season.
- In the minors, Hurt has a 14.03% walk rate and a 36.6% strikeout rate over 188 2/3 frames.
The Dodgers may need to explore Hurt's potential as a starter before transitioning him to relief work, given his track record in the minors.
State of Play- Walker Buehler is closest to activation from the injured list, but will require at least one more minor league rehab start post Tommy John surgery.
- The Dodgers are managing their pitching schedule with a focus on using Yoshinobu Yamamoto on a once-per-week basis.
Kyle Hurt's injury adds to the Dodgers' pitching challenges, highlighting the team's need for healthy arms and strategic planning as they navigate through the season.
