SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. –– Dodgers pitcher Gavin Stone, who recently returned from shoulder surgery, is facing a setback as his shoulder flared up after a bullpen session, raising concerns about his availability for the opening day roster. Despite a promising scoreless outing on February 24, the team has decided to shut him down from throwing to allow recovery. With Blake Snell and Shohei Ohtani also dealing with injuries, the Dodgers are reevaluating their rotation options, considering candidates like Emmet Sheehan and Cole Irvin. The situation complicates their plans as they seek to finalize their starting lineup.
