Mistretta graduated college with a degree in broadcast journalism from Biola University.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Mini-Editorials</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2023 season hasn’t been ideal. Injuries have decimated the rotation and fans are calling for the team to add a star pitcher or two ahead of the MLB trade deadline. There is even more pressure to make a move following Dustin May and Clayton Kershaw’s injuries. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-los-angeles-reveals-devastating-dustin-may-injury-update" rel="noopener">May will miss the season</a> with an elbow issue, and although Kershaw’s ailment isn’t expected to be serious, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-los-angeles-clayton-kershaw-il-all-star-break" rel="noopener">there is still concern</a>.</p><p>It would be easy to say the “one reason” that the Dodgers must not panic is their pitching depth. After all, young arms like Bobby Miller and Emmet Sheehan have impressed this season. If Kershaw does avoid a lengthy injury absence, the rotation will feature Kershaw, Julio Urias, Tony Gonsolin, Sheehan, and Miller. So why isn’t that our one reason?</p><p>The Dodgers’ depth has been tested. Relying on Urias and Gonsolin as the No. 2 and No. 3 options is risky since neither has performed especially well in 2023. Additionally, both pitchers have spent time on the IL.</p><p>Instead, the reason the Dodgers cannot panic ahead of the MLB trade deadline is because Walker Buehler will be their X-Factor in September and October, assuming he does return.</p><h2><b>Walker Buehler will save the Dodgers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Dodgers-The-reason-Los-Angeles-must-not-panic-ahead-of-trade-deadline-after-Dustin-May-Clayton-Kershaw-injuries-2.jpg"></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-walker-buehler-take-potential-2023-return-after-tj-surgery" rel="noopener">Walker Buehler is hoping to return</a> from his second Tommy John surgery in early September. Even if that proves to be unrealistic, there are increasing odds that he will pitch at some point in 2023.</p><p>Relying on a pitcher who hasn’t appeared in a game all season is obviously risky. Buehler’s presence will completely change the dynamic of the rotation though.</p><p>Let’s assume, and we aren’t sourcing anything here, that Buehler comes back in early September and slowly builds strength. He will make a couple of starts where he will probably be limited to 3-5 innings pitched. As the month continues on, Buehler will start working into the 6th and possibly even 7th inning depending on pitch count. By the time October rolls around, Buehler may be ready to completely roll.</p><p>This is an optimistic outlook without question. If everything follows that plan though, Tony Gonsolin would become arguably the best No. 4 pitcher in baseball. Meanwhile, the Dodgers’ trio of Clayton Kershaw, Julio Urias, and Walker Buehler would lead the pitching staff into the MLB playoffs.</p><h2><b>So should the Dodgers trade for starting pitching?</b></h2><p>Trading for starting pitching depth still would not be a bad idea. Walker Buehler’s potential return means the Dodgers shouldn’t panic and overpay for a pitcher having a nice season.</p><p>For example, Shane Bieber, Marcus Stroman, and Lucas Giolito will all potentially be available ahead of the trade deadline. All three pitchers are talented but don’t feature much in the way of team control. Trading valuable prospects would possibly place a major dent in the Dodgers’ future, especially with Urias and Kershaw both currently pitching on expiring contracts. The last thing LA wants to do is deal their future away.</p><p>Acquiring a No. 3 or No. 4-caliber arm at the deadline along with bullpen help is the route the Dodgers must go. If <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb-rumors-angels-shohei-ohtani-trade-stance-mike-trout-injury" rel="noopener">Shohei Ohtani becomes available</a>, an exception can obviously be made. But that should be the one and only exception.</p><p>It will be interesting to see what the Dodgers end up doing as the month of July continues on and the trade deadline draws near. They have options, but Buehler’s looming return cannot be overlooked.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Staff ace Walker Buehler is in the midst of recovering from Tommy John surgery.</p><p>Julio Urias, who won the ERA title in 2022, has come crashing back down to Earth to the tune of a 4.94 ERA in 2023.</p><p>In other words, things are pretty dire for the Dodgers rotation right now.</p><p>The <a href="https://www.dailynews.com/2023/07/04/dodgers-max-muncy-is-tinkering-to-improve-his-plate-profile/">good news</a> is, Kershaw and Syndergaard will be back. The bad news is, can Dodgers fans <i>really </i>trust anyone in the rotation besides Kershaw and Tony Gonsolin?</p><p>That’s not a good place for a 47-37 team with World Series hopes to be in.</p><p>But all is not lost for the Dodgers. With the MLB trade deadline inching closer, there may just be some starting pitchers the club can deal for to help patch up the rotation.</p><p>Here are four starting pitcher <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-los-angeles-mariners-trade-ahead-all-star-break">trades the Dodgers</a> must consider after the May injury news.</p><h2><b>Dodgers trade ideas after Dustin May injury news</b></h2><p><b>4. Oakland Athletics SP Paul Blackburn</b></p><p>An All-Star last year, Paul Blackburn, who owned a 3.62 ERA in the first half, looked to be on pace for the best year of his career. It ended up being a career year for the Athletics hurler, but his 8.79 second half ERA put a damper on the season.</p><p>Blackburn doesn’t strike out a lot of guys and he walks more guys than he should. However, he has shown an impressive ability to induce groundballs in his career.</p><p>That’s at least worth something, given that the Dodgers happen to play a chunk of their games in offense-friendly ballparks such as Coors and Chase Field.</p><p>There’s also this: Blackburn owns a career 6.27 ERA at home compared to a 4.02 mark on the road in his career. Neither mark is worth writing home about.</p><p>However, what if Blackburn could be a better pitcher away from Oakland? It might be worth a trade to find out.</p><p><b>3. Boston Red Sox SP Nick Pivetta</b></p><p>This might not seem like an attractive option to Dodgers fans but there are reasons to like Pivetta.</p><p>For one thing, Pivetta may actually be available at the MLB trade deadline, as the Boston Globe’s Chad Finn <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/three-fiery-red-sox-veterans-reportedly-could-be-on-move-ahead-of-trade-deadline/ar-AA1dq7vx">recently named him</a> as a Red Sox player who could be on the move.</p><p>Pivetta owns a poor 5.01 ERA for his career but has also flashed strikeout ability, as evidenced by his 24.6 percent K rate in seven big league seasons.</p><p>He’s the kind of pitcher the Dodgers have turned into an ace in their pitching factory in recent years (Think Andrew Heaney).</p><p>If the Dodgers, in their payroll-shedding mode, are looking for a cheap trade to make after the May injury, a Pivetta deal, much like the Blackburn trade, makes a lot of sense.</p><p><b>2. St. Louis Cardinals SP Jordan Montgomery</b></p><p>The Cardinals, 35-50, have been a dumpster fire this season. After winning 90-plus games in each of the last three full seasons (pandemic-shortened season excluded), St. Louis has taken a major step back.</p><p>While they may not publicly admit it, this MLB trade deadline will be a chance to make one of the game’s most promising farm systems even better.</p><p>One of the ways they can do so is by trading away 2024 free agent starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery.</p><p>Montgomery, 30, has been one of the few bright spots on the Cardinals this year, as he has pitched to a 3.28 ERA in 98 2/3 innings.</p><p>Unfortunately for Montgomery, one of the problems he encountered with the New York Yankees followed him to St. Louis: run support.</p><p>The Yankees never scored many runs for Monty- and the Cardinals have done the same at times in 2023.</p><p>One wonders how Montgomery would feel pitching behind the Dodgers lineup, which has scored the fourth-most runs in the majors this year.</p><p>The Dodgers would be good for Monty- and he- a capable middle of the rotation type- would be good for them too.</p><p><b>1. Cleveland Guardians SP Shane Bieber </b></p><p>Here it is, the big trade splash. Each of the previous three deals were patchwork types, low-risk, high-reward trades the Dodgers could make.</p><p>This potential deal for Guardians ace Shane Bieber would be a summer blockbuster. Bieber, the 2020 Cy Young award winner, owns a sublime 3.22 career ERA to go along with 10.2 strikeouts per nine innings.</p><p>If the Guardians, 41-43, decide to become sellers at the MLB trade deadline, Bieber will be the premier pitcher on the trade market. 28 and under team control up until 2025, he won’t come cheap either.</p><p>Plus, there are the concerns surrounding his dip in fastball velocity and strikeout rate. But this is still Shane Bieber we’re talking about.</p><p>Would anyone be surprised if the Dodgers traded for Bieber and urged him to throw his off-speed stuff- slider and curveball- more? And would anyone be surprised if he looked more like the Cy Young version of himself?</p><p>LA fans are probably already salivating over a Buehler-Bieber-Kershaw-Urias rotation after reading this.</p><p>The Guardians may not even make Bieber available for trade. But if they do, the Dodgers, armed with the second-ranked farm system in baseball’s preseason rankings, have the assets to make it happen.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

May, who has been diagnosed with an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-pitcher-dustin-may-exits-elbow-pain-first" rel="noopener">upper-body injury</a>, was initially placed by the team on the 15-day injured list before being transferred to the 60-day injured list. That means he <a href="https://twitter.com/FabianArdaya/status/1661135604250300417" rel="noopener">won’t be able to pitch</a> for the team for at least one and a half months, a source told Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.</p><p><i>“Per a source, Dustin May won’t pick up a baseball for at least six weeks after receiving his PRP injection yesterday. From there, he’ll get another scan and a determination will be made on starting a throwing progression.”</i></p><p>The Dodgers’ <a href="https://twitter.com/Jack_A_Harris/status/1661130751272796160" rel="noopener">decision</a> to move Dustin May to the 60-day IL was also made in order to create a roster spot for Bobby Miller, who is scheduled to make his big league debut Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves on the road, according to Jack Harris of The Los Angeles Times.</p><p>It’s been a rough season so far for the Dodgers on the injury front, particularly with regard to their starters. Apart from Dustin May, the Dodgers also have the likes of Julio Urias, Walker Buehler, Michael Grove, and Ryan Pepiot on the injured list.</p><p>So far in the 2023 MLB regular season, Dustin May has a 4-1 record to go with a 2.63 ERA and 169 ERA+ across nine starts. In his most recent start, May lasted pitched for only an inning before he got pulled from the game against the Minnesota Twins last Wednesday because of what was later diagnosed as a flexor pronator strain.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Regardless, Los Angeles will still need to find a replacement in the rotation.</p><p>Gavin Stone is the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-dave-roberts-reveals-los-angeles-dustin-may-injury-replacement" rel="noopener">expected replacement</a> for May. The right-hander made his MLB debut earlier in the season and makes the most sense to replace the injured Dodgers’ hurler. That said, LA features plenty of pitching depth. Dodgers beat reporter Juan Toribio <a href="https://www.mlb.com/dodgers/news/dustin-may-injury-dodgers-depth" rel="noopener">revealed three other pitchers</a> who could fill in amid Dustin May’s injury-related absence, per MLB.com.</p><p>Michael Grove, Ryan Pepiot, and top pitching prospect Bobby Miller are all options. Toribio noted that Miller is the least likely option since he is returning from an injury. Grove and Pepiot have also both dealt with injury concerns, but they are both closer to being ready for a spot in the Dodgers’ rotation.</p><p>The Dodgers’ pitching depth is what sets them apart from other teams. If most ball clubs were to lose a star like May, they would be scrambling for answers. Meanwhile, LA features no shortage of options, with other alternatives aside from the four aforementioned pitchers.</p><p>In the end, Stone will likely receive the opportunity. If Stone pitches well, he will remain in the rotation until the position becomes unavailable.</p><p>We will continue to monitor and provide updates on Dustin May’s status as they are made available.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
