January 23, 2025 9:34 AM : 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.
Analysis: A report from Bob Nightengale of USA Today on Monday indicated that Kopech could miss the first month of the season due to right forearm inflammation he began experiencing during the playoffs. While Gomes conceded that Kopech was "grinding" through the postseason, the GM doesn't seem to believe it will be a long-term issue. Whether Kopech will indeed get a late start to the 2025 season is not clear. When healthy, Kopech will be part of the late-inning mix in the Dodgers' bullpen.
