INJURIES
Hit hard in loss Casparius (6-3) allowed six runs on nine hits and struck out three over three innings to take the loss versus the Astros on Friday.
Impact Casparius had made his last two appearances as a bulk reliever behind Shohei Ohtani. His return to a starting role didn't go any better than his last turn out of the bullpen, as the Astros tagged Casparius for three home runs. He's now yielded seven long balls on the year while adding a 4.68 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 57:12 K:BB across 59.2 innings through 26 appearances (three starts). Casparius continues to provide multi-inning abilities for the Dodgers as they put together a patchwork solution for their rotation. With Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) nearing a return and Emmet Sheehan expected to be called up to pitch Sunday, it seems like Casparius is on borrowed time to stay in the rotation.

Expected to pitch Friday Casparius is expected to pitch in some capacity Friday versus the Astros, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Casparius last pitched Saturday versus the Royals, being tagged with a loss after giving up six runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings while operating as the bulk reliever behind Shohei Ohtani. It's unclear if Casparius will draw the start Friday or come out of the bullpen, but he'll look to get the sour taste out of his mouth from his last outing. The 26-year-old has posted a 3.97 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 54 punchouts over 25 appearances, including two starts, with the Dodgers in 2025.

Takes loss in bulk relief Casparius (6-2) took the loss against the Royals on Saturday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk with four strikeouts over four innings.
Impact Casparius generated an impressive 13 whiffs on 85 pitches but was ultimately undone by a four-run fifth inning. While he entered the outing with back-to-back wins, the 26-year-old has now allowed 11 earned runs over 12.2 innings in three consecutive appearances following Shohei Ohtani. He carries a 3.97 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 54:12 K:BB across 56.2 innings this season and is likely to pitch behind Ohtani again in a home matchup with the Astros next weekend.

Pitching behind Ohtani again Casparius is scheduled to pitch in bulk relief behind starter Shohei Ohtani in Saturday's game in Kansas City, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Ohtani will make his third start as a pitcher Saturday, but the Dodgers have been managing the two-way star's workload carefully coming off his September 2023 Tommy John surgery. The right-hander has covered exactly one inning in both of his prior two starts, with Casparius working behind him on both occasions. Between those outings, Casparius has picked up a pair of wins while allowing five earned runs on eight hits and two walks over 8.2 innings. The Dodgers haven't specified how long Ohtani will work Sunday, but assuming he doesn't cover more than two or three innings, Casparius will still be well positioned to earn a win if the Dodgers are able to defeat the Royals. Ohtani is expected to eventually be ready to handle a traditional starter's workload, but he and Casparius seem likely to work in tandem for at least a couple more turns through the rotation.

Adds another win Casparius (6-1) picked up the win Sunday against Washington, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts over five innings.
Impact Casparius followed Shohei Ohtani for a second consecutive outing and completed five frames for the first time this season. All of the damage against Casparius came with one swing of the bat when Nathaniel Lowe launched a three-run home run in the third inning. In his last three outings, Casparius has allowed six runs with a 6:4 K:BB over 12.2 innings. He's in line to make his next appearance against Kansas City, though he may follow Ohtani again.

Busy Day for Shohei Ohtani! Dodgers Star Pitches, Homers in Big Win Over Nats
Set to follow Ohtani again Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Casparius will "most likely" work in bulk relief behind Shohei Ohtani in the latter's next start Sunday against the Nationals, Matthew Moreno...
Impact Though he was cleared to make his first appearance on the mound since August 2023 in Monday's game against the Padres after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery, Ohtani wasn't fully built up for a traditional starting role and ended up tossing 28 pitches as a one-inning opener. Casparius, meanwhile, took on the brunt on the workload for the pitching staff, covering 3.2 innings and giving up two runs en route to claiming his fifth win of the season. Ohtani should be capable of covering around 2-to-3 innings Sunday, but Casparius once again profiles as the Dodgers' pitcher most likely to qualify for a win, making him an appealing streaming option against a Nationals squad that has stumbled to a 2-15 record thus far in June.

2025 Best Bets, Predictions for the Week by Chris 'The Bear' Fallica
Nabs win in bulk relief Casparius (5-1) was credited with a victory against San Diego on Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 3.2 innings.
Impact Shohei Ohtani made his much-anticipated Dodgers debut as a pitcher Monday, pushing Casparius to bulk relief after manager Dave Roberts mentioned last week that the 26-year-old would be moving into the rotation. Ohtani went just one inning, however, and Casparius got the call with two outs in the second frame following a brief outing by Anthony Banda. Casparius surrendered an RBI double to Xander Bogaerts in the fourth inning and a soo homer to Manny Machado in the sixth, but he pitched well enough to notch the victory. It's not yet clear how Roberts will manage Casparius' outings moving forward -- there's still a chance the right-hander will get an opportunity to function as a traditional starter soon, but he'll likely work in bulk relief again until Ohtani has enough starts under his belt to serve as more than an opener.

Working behind Ohtani on Monday Casparius is expected to pitch in bulk relief in Monday's game against the Padres behind starter Shohei Ohtani (elbow), who will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher, Jeff Spiegel...
Impact After Casparius limited San Diego to one run over four innings in his second start of the season this past Wednesday, manager Dave Roberts said that the right-hander would be part of the rotation moving forward. Though Roberts implied that Casparius would be utilized as a traditional starter, the 26-year-old is instead on track to cover the bulk of the innings out of the bullpen Monday after the team elected to have Ohtani bypass another simulated game in order to make his 2025 debut as a pitcher. Ohtani is expected to be limited to 1-to-2 innings Monday and will likely need at least a couple more outings after that to get fully stretched out for a typical starter's workload, so it wouldn't be surprising if Casparius ended up piggybacking the two-way phenom the next time Ohtani's turn in the rotation comes up.

Moving to rotation Manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's win over San Diego that Casparius' next appearance will be as a starter, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Roberts previously suggested that Casparius may move into a starting role to help out a Dodgers rotation that has been decimated by injuries. The 26-year-old righty pitched four innings of one-run ball during Wednesday's bullpen game -- a good enough showing for the team to commit to using him as a starter for the immediate future. Casparius has worked primarily out of the bullpen to the tune of a 2.79 ERA since arriving in the majors last season, though he served as a starter in nearly all of his minor-league outings.

Impact Casparius technically made his second start of the season Wednesday, but he was deployed as something between an opener and a traditional starter after he had previously been working out of the bullpen. The right-hander was still stretched out enough to give the Dodgers four innings and 54 pitches in the outing, finishing the night with two strikeouts and one earned run allowed on three hits and two walks. The 26-year-old has found success no matter how the Dodgers have used him this season, as he now owns a shiny 2.86 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 46:9 K:BB across 44 innings. He'll still likely be on somewhat of a workload restriction in his next start -- which is expected to fall early next week at home versus the Padres -- but Casparius could be capable of giving the Dodgers five or six innings and around 70 to 80 pitches.

Could get stretched out Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated Wednesday that Casparius could be stretched out as a starting pitcher, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Impact Casparius is starting Wednesday's contest in San Diego, and he won't be used as a traditional opener, according to Roberts. The right-hander hasn't recorded more than five outs or thrown more than 28 pitches in an appearance in nearly three weeks, but he's gone at least three innings in four outings this season and was used primarily as a starter in the minors. The Dodgers are seeking rotation help amidst a slew of injuries, and Roberts feels more comfortable with the idea of moving Casparius into the rotation because the team just got Michael Kopech and Kirby Yates back in the bullpen.
