Corey Knebel

Corey Knebel was off to a solid start in his first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers before suffering a right lat strain in late April. Knebel was placed on the 10-day injured list on April 24 and transferred to the 60-day IL on May 2. While Knebel did not need surgery, the Dodgers prepared to be without him for a few months.

If you’re one of those people that likes to find something to point to as a turning point for the Dodgers’ struggles, perhaps this is it. Corey Knebel’s last outing — where he injured himself — was April 23rd. Since that day, the Dodgers have gone 5-11, losing several close games late due in part to an inexperienced bullpen.

The Los Angeles Dodgers transferred Corey Knebel to the 60-day injured list in order to call up and place Mike Kickham on their 40-man roster. Dustin May being placed on the 10-day IL was the corresponding move to then adding Kickham to the active roster on Sunday. Knebel suffered an...

The Dodgers made a number of roster moves ahead of their game on Sunday morning. The most notable being Dustin May, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right arm injury. May left yesterday’s game after he felt a “shooting sensation” in his arm. When speaking to...

During most seasons, we’ll put together an injury report once or twice per month, but current times are calling for a thorough update almost weekly. At the time of this publication, the Dodgers have seven...

Knebel was placed on the injured list with a lat strain Saturday and is expected to miss multiple months, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports. Knebel missed Friday's game against the Padres with what was originally called an upper triceps injury. The Dodgers are hopeful he'll be able to pitch again this season, but the fact that that had to be stated hardly paints an optimistic pitcher. He'd been lined up as Kenley Jansen's top deputy and had already picked up a pair of saves. That role could now go to Blake Treinen.

The injuries just keep stacking up for the Dodgers. In the middle of a rough stretch of ballgames, Los Angeles can’t seem to catch a break with keeping guys healthy. Now, they will add one more to the injured list on Saturday. The Dodgers sent right-hander Corey Knebel to the...
