The Los Angeles Dodgers made several high-profile acquisitions to ensure they wouldn’t find themselves in the same boat as last year.The team added Blake Snell, Tanner Scott, Kirby Yates and other arms this past winter to avoid limping into the trade deadline without a healthy pitching staff. Instead, it has seen more than a dozen arms hit the injured list in the first half.And it now seems like the Dodgers can no longer count on Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki being a meaningful contributor to the rotation this year after his latest setback.After struggling with his command in his first few starts for the Dodgers, Sasaki was moved to the injured list with a right shoulder issue. The Dodgers then moved him to the 60-day injured list and announced that they “have no timeline” for his return to throwing, according to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register.Since then, they’ve been encouraged by some progress he has made, but still haven’t announced a potential return date.Without a clear return for Sasaki to the rotation, it seems likely that the team is considering a trade to acquire another starter before it’s too late. Sports Illustrated’s Nick Selbe has predicted that will mean trading for Sandy Alcantara from the Miami Marlins.”The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner has been on a winding path to rediscover his form after making his return from Tommy John surgery,” Selbe wrote. “Since the start of June, the results have been much better: a 2.74 ERA and 3.20 FIP in four outings, with a meager 5.3% walk rate. If he can keep that up, interest should be high in the 29-year-old, who has a club option to keep him under contract through 2027.”With the Miami Marlins serving as one of the few sure-fire sellers at the upcoming deadline, Alcantara has been seen as a likely trade target all season. He struggled to recapture his previous effectiveness in his first few starts, but now that he’s looking more like his old self, the Dodgers could be interested in acquiring him.More MLB: MLB Power Rankings: New Team Rises To Top, Red Sox Dive-Bomb Amid Struggles
