@Bnicklaus7 If Rushing is out permanently, LA can easily petition for him to be added to the playoff roster.
Rushing/Ohtani being out made it easy for JDP or Tibbs to be called now.
@HyeseongKimToCN We really don’t know what JDP will do. Just have to wait and see. Lux was a bigger prospect than JDP and look how that worked out. Just have to wait and see.
@bluegoon82@awitrado It’s really that we lost Ohtani AND Rushing as DHs. Remember Rushing was going to be the backup DH, but he’s hurt now too.
Since JDP has to be added to the 40-man in November anyway no matter what, this was the perfect time to do it. For now, He can DH with a pinch of LF.
@Bnicklaus7 They brought him up because they lost both DHs in Shohei and Rushing.
Rushing is eligible to return next week, Shohei is the week after. JDP will get these 2 weeks to show what he can do before next year.
JDP wont be on the Oct roster unless he goes insane or someone gets hurt.
The Dodgers need to put Shohei Ohtani on the injured list.
Any chance of him healing his injuries, even a little, will come from rest.
If Ohtani went on the IL, the soonest he could return would be Sept. 23.
That would give him 5 games before the postseason.
@dodgersfan2015@ChadMoriyama It’s not about whether it’s enough or not. It’s exhausting all options, rest being at the top of the gotdamn list.
Again, uncommon sense.
