The Dodgers starting rotation needs an immediate, short-term fix

The Dodgers are returning home today with literally three healthy starting pitchers — and they’re all slated to pitch this weekend against a much-improved Atlanta club.

Walker Buehler, Alex Wood and Ross Stripling are all going to start. Buehler and especially Stripling have been great for the last month-plus, while Wood had a rough go of things the last time out. But hey, at least they’re healthy.

The same can’t be said for the rest of the Dodgers’ starting rotation. The latest injury was to Dennis Santana, who hurt his right lat muscle when trying to throw a slider shortly before Thursday’s game.
