Injuries have piled up for the Dodgers during these playoffs. It was difficult to keep the guys healthy and playing ball throughout the season, and that continues to be a problem until October. This was especially evident during the National League Championship Series.
After losing guys like Justin Turner and Joe Kelly over the past two days, the Dodgers face a few more potential injuries. One is still Max Scherzer’s dead arm preventing him from starting Game 6.
But another major concern at this point is left-handed reliever Justin Bruihl. The southpaw developed arm pain as he warmed up in the reliever pen for Game 5 of the NLCS. The Dodgers bring an extra arm with them on the trip in case Bruihl can’t make it.
In relation to the Dodgers: Max Scherzer will not launch the game 6
Losing Bruihl would be a big blow to the Dodgers’ box at this point in the series. He’s already made 3 scoreless appearances in the Championship Series and allowed only one hit in total. Bruihl also racked up 5 strikeouts in just 2 full innings of work, so he’s missing a lot of bats.
David Price is one of the left-handed pitchers available for Doc, but they don’t have much beyond him without Bruihl. Alex Vesia remains the left-handed relievers’ only box option aside from Price if they choose to take Bruihl off the list.
