Dodgers Set Franchise Record with 40 Pitchers in 2025

Season‑Long Bullpen Rotation

Los Angeles pushed its own mark by posting a 40‑pitcher season in 2025, matching the feat set the previous year. The team had already posted 39 pitchers in both 2021 and 2023, making the back‑to‑back 40‑pitcher campaigns a new benchmark. This constant rotation demonstrates a strategy built around depth and flexibility.

Opening Day and Early Rotation

The staff opened with four pitchers on March 26: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Treinen, Will Klein and Tanner Scott all took the hill that day. Two days later, Emmet Sheehan, Jack Dreyer, Ben Casparius, Alex Vesia and Edgardo Henriquez each appeared, while Edwin Díaz came on March 27. Tyler Glasnow made his debut on March 28, and Roki Sasaki and Justin Wrobleski followed on March 30, with Shohei Ohtani pitching on March 31.

Mid‑Season Additions

April saw Miguel Rojas step onto the mound on April 6, the first non‑starter of the year. The bullpen added Kyle Hurt on April 15 and Jake Eder on April 20, then Brock Stewart appeared on May 6. May also brought two left‑handers on the same day: Blake Snell and Paul Gervase, with Wyatt Mills following on May 10. Charlie Barnes logged his first start on May 15, and Chayce McDermott debuted on May 17.

Late‑Season Pitchers

Jonathan Hernández took the hill on May 22, and Eric Lauer appeared on May 26. After a brief pause, Evan Phillips returned on July 7, rounding out a season that featured 26 distinct pitchers. The sheer variety of arms used highlights the Dodgers’ reliance on a deep, adaptable pool to manage a demanding schedule.

The breadth of this list underscores how the Dodgers leaned on a deep bullpen to navigate a grueling schedule. By spreading innings across many arms, the club aimed to keep its pitching staff fresh and minimize fatigue. This approach, while record‑setting, also reflects the modern trend of utilizing highly specialized relievers throughout a long season.
