Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Wednesday of Kopech 's right forearm injury that "I don't think there's anything of concern at this point," Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a super-team. They continue to sign players in MLB free agency, and LA is the favorite to repeat as World Series champions in 2025. Injuries may be the only element of the game that could derail their championship plans.

In 2024, Dodgers injury updates were coming too fast for anyone to keep track. There were a few notable position player injuries — Mookie Betts getting his hand broken and Freddie Freeman rolling his ankle — but almost all of the time spent on the injured list was by pitchers.

Kopech is expected to miss possibly the first month of the season, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. Presumably, Kopech is dealing with a previously undisclosed injury, although no further details are available at this time.
