Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tom Koehler (shoulder) had season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, according to manager Dave Roberts. The 32-year-old right-hander hadn't appeared in a game for the Dodgers this year and could get a late start on next season, too.
Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tom Koehler (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Thursday. He is currently working his way back from a right shoulder injury he suffered during spring training. It's unclear when Koehler plans to begin his rehab assignment, but he isn't expected back until at least mid-June. He'll likely fill a long-relief spot in the bullpen unless an injury opens up a rotation spot. He should be left on the waiver wire.
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tom Koehler (shoulder) is throwing off the mound a few months after being diagnosed with an anterior capsule strain. He was acquired in the offseason to be the bridge to closer Kenley Jansen after spending his career as a starter, but he was sidelined in spring training. No bullpen session is planned yet, but Koehler may still factor into the team's plans in the second half of the season. He's worth keeping an eye on, because if nothing else, no other reliever in that bullpen has stepped up, and the role that he was ticketed for is still open.
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tom Koehler (shoulder) is still only doing long toss and has yet to throw off a mound. The former starter was signed in the offseason as a viable option to set up Kenley Jensen, but injured his shoulder capsule in early March. There is no timetable for his return as yet, but the Dodgers will welcome his arm anytime given how atrocious their bullpen has been in 2018. Until he shows any kind of game ability, he can be safely ignored for fantasy purposes.
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tom Koehler (shoulder) has yet to throw a pitch while he recovers from a strained anterior capsule. It's unlikely we'll see Koehler until late in the season, if at all. Koehler was signed to be the bridge to Kenley Jansen but got injured in spring training. He'll be irrelevant for a while.
Tom Koehler Transferred To 60-Day DL To Make Room For Jesus Liranzo
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tom Koehler (shoulder) has been transferred to the 60-day disabled list as he rehabs his shoulder capsule. The Dodgers signed the former Marlin as a potential setup guy for closerKenley Jansen, but he got injured in spring training. The move was designed to make room on the 40-man roster for Jesus Liranzo, a minor league pitcher traded from the Orioles. Koehler insists that the move won't affect his return, which is still scheduled for late May.
Tom Koehler Will Start Season On DL With Shoulder Strain
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tom Koehler, the only major offseason acquisition by the club, was diagnosed with a mild shoulder capsule strain and will start the season on the disabled list. The righty left his Cactus League game on Friday after giving up a home run and two walks, while only getting one out. The good news is that surgery won't be needed, though it's unclear when he'll be able to return to action. The Dodgers took a flier on Koehler after a terrible injury-ridden season as a starter with the Marlins. It was their hope that he'd be the ideal setup man for closerKenley Jansen, but obviously this puts that plan on hold.
Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Tom Koehler(undisclosed), who was recently acquired, left Friday's Cactus League game against the White Sox after a third of an inning. He left with trainer Nate Lucero and got an MRI. He quickly gave up a home run to Adam Engel on his first pitch of the third inning, so things weren't looking good to begin with. The Dodgers are trying Koehler out in the bullpen after his disastrous injury-plagued 2017 season where he gave up 35 walks in 72 2/3 innings. He was a possible candidate for a setup role in L.A. but this likely jeopardizes that.
Free-agent starting pitcher Tom Koehler has agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Koehler struggled with the Marlins as a starter, but after being dealt to the Blue Jays he had a 2.65 ERA in 17 innings, most of them as a relief pitcher. He was non-tendered by the club earlier in the offseason. The Dodgers have had success using former starters as relievers with Joe Blanton in 2016 and Brandon Morrow in 2017. Koehler will look to continue that trend.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Tom Koehler is being scouted by up to six teams, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Koehler was recently non-tendered after posting a 6.69 ERA and 62/35 K/BB ratio over 72 2/3 innings between the Blue Jays and Marlins in 2017. The 31-year-old has had better results in the past and could be a useful depth arm depending on where he lands.
