""He's in Arizona building up on his throwing program," manager Dave Roberts said. "He's out there with Evan Phillips and a couple other guys. He's on a longer timetable. I don't know when it is, but it is a longer timetable. And then once he starts facing hitters and goes on rehab, then it'll be more of a conversation.""
"He was effective early on last season, finishing the first two months of the season with a 2.72 ERA and 42 strikeouts across 36.1 innings. However, Casparius struggled to adjust to the increased workload and was never quite the same even after transitioning back to a traditional reliever role."
"That carried over into this season, as Casparius allowed five runs in 4.2 innings before the shoulder inflammation forced him to the 15-day injured list. The Dodgers recalled Kyle Hurt as the corresponding move and he has made the most of his opportunity."
"Hurt has a 0.90 ERA, 12.60 strikeouts per nine innings and a 14-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio across 10 innings of work. Dodgers pitching injuries It was a difficult past week for the pitching staff as the Dodgers lost both Tyler Glasnow and Brock Stewart to the injured list."
Ben Casparius began his Dodgers career in 2024 as a lesser-known contributor and was an unsung pitching option in 2025. In 2025, he delivered early effectiveness with a 2.72 ERA and 42 strikeouts over 36.1 innings, then struggled after being asked to increase workload as an innings eater. In 2026, he has not been able to build impact because right shoulder inflammation sidelined him early, leading to a 15-day injured list after allowing five runs in 4.2 innings. He is working back at Camelback Ranch in Arizona, building his throwing program with a longer timetable. Kyle Hurt was recalled and has produced strong results, including a 0.90 ERA and a high strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Dodgers also faced additional pitching injuries, including Tyler Glasnow and Brock Stewart.
