Anchored by World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers will seek to fight against a cadre of injuries. One of which is two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell, who will start the season on the injured list.

After pitching in the postseason through pain, Snell has continued to deal with shoulder issues this offseason. But so long as their pitchers are ready come October they don’t have much to worry about. San Diego Padres Nick Pivetta Michael King Randy Vásquez Germán Márquez Walker Buehler San Diego enters the season with one of the weaker rotations in baseball.

But it is one with an immensely high ceiling. Pivetta will look to add onto last year’s incredible emergence as King rebounds from an injury-riddled 2025. Joe Musgrove will look to do the same but it seems more and more likely that he won’t be with the club on Opening Day.

In his place Randy Vásquez will bump up into the third slot leaving two slots open. The rotation race seems to be leaning towards Márquez and Buehler for the first few weeks, but the Friars have plenty of options to pick from after General Manager A. J.
