It looks like the Los Angeles Dodgers have a starting rotation that will dominate on the mound once again this season.

The Dodgers are simply loaded with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, Emmet Sheehan, and Tyler Glasnow all set to get the ball rolling.

Sasaki, though, spent some time on the Injured List last season. It eventually led him to become the "ace" of the bullpen, where Sasaki proved so valuable during the Dodgers' postseason run. Of course, Los Angeles won its second straight World Series title.

This season, though, Sasaki will be back in the pitching rotation, getting regular starts and hoping to keep opponents on their heels in the batter's box.

When reviewing the Dodgers' rotation, Dodgers reporter Sonja Chen of MLB.com had some interesting insights on the situation.

"He began last year in the rotation but posted middling results, going 1-1 with a 4.72 ERA in eight starts before landing on the injured list for more than four months with a right shoulder impingement," Chen wrote.

Chen also noted that Sasaki took time to work on his mechanics along with his pitching arsenal. Look for Sasaki to have a banner season as a starter.

Snell is another pitcher to keep an eye on from the get-go, Chen wrote. He spent time on the IL with shoulder inflammation. Snell also had some of his offseason work pushed back while still dealing with this matter.

"He feels much better now but is ramping up deliberately, and the Dodgers won't rush him to be ready for March if it means compromising him later in the season," Chen wrote.

As far as some pitchers who could come out of Spring Training in Arizona and serve as middle-innings relievers, don't be surprised if Ben Casparius, Kyle Hurt, and Justin Wrobleski are on the 40-man roster.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and pitching coach Mark Prior will be watching how their pitchers work in preparation for Opening Day. Of course, this season, the Dodgers' rotation will be missing Clayton Kershaw. The future Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher retired from MLB play after the 2025 season.

So, the rotation will look a little different, but not too much from last season. The Dodgers had a rotation that delivered when it mattered most. The ballclub wants to see these starting pitchers come on back and provide quality starts.

If Yamamoto, Snell, Ohtani, etc., can get into the seventh inning, then Roberts can turn to the bullpen and bring in Tanner Scott for the eighth inning. Should Scott have a shutdown inning, then the table is all set for Edwin Díaz to run out to the mound and get a save.

All in all, the Dodgers' starting rotation and overall pitching situation looks pretty good. Now, all they have to do is deliver.
