I am sorry this important news is late.
The promising starter/reliever Kyle Hurt was put on the IL with right shoulder inflammation. When the Los Angeles Dodgers have three young pitchers on the IL with right shoulder inflammation, they must be doing something wrong.
This early 2024 season has become known for pitchers’ injuries. The Dodgers have a whole starting rotation and three brilliant relievers on the IL, and this has caused the team early season pitching problems.
Hurt has the best stuff of all Dodger pitchers. When he made his major league debut, he struck out Fernando Tatis, Jr., Juan Soto, and Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres. Hurt would like to be a starter, but he is ready to be a major league reliever.
During this past spring training, Hurt impressed everyone. With Bobby Miller and Emmet Sheehan on the IL, Hurt would have an opportunity to show what he could do in the major leagues.
