Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Diagnosed with torn meniscus
Kopech (knee) underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus this week, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
This helps explain the Dodgers' decision to transfer Kopech to the 60-day IL earlier Wednesday. The good news for Los Angeles is that Kopech is still expected back before the end of the season, though he isn't eligible to return until late August. Kopech is among six Dodgers relievers to currently occupy a spot on the 60-day injured list.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Moves to 60-day IL
The Dodgers transferred Kopech (knee) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
When Kopech was placed on the IL on July 1 due to right knee inflammation, manager Dave Roberts suggested that the reliever would be in line for a brief stay on the shelf. However, after Kopech received an injection to address the discomfort in his knee, the Dodgers evidently determined that the right-hander would need more time off to recover than anticipated. As a result of Kopech's move to the 60-day IL, he won't be eligible for activation until late August.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Heads to IL again
The Dodgers placed Kopech on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right knee inflammation, retroactive to June 28.
Kopech returned from a shoulder impingement injury June 8 but finds himself back on the injured list with a different injury. The right-hander had been stellar in his return to action as he made eight appearances and allowed zero runs across seven innings. With the 29-year-old heading back to the injured list, Will Klein was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Remains unscored upon in fifth hold
Kopech notched a hold against the Rockies on Thursday, striking out one batter in one perfect inning.
Kopech inherited a two-run lead in the eighth frame and retired all three batters he faced on a combined 13 pitches. After missing over two months while on the injured list to begin the campaign, he's pitched in eight games since his June 8 debut and has yet to allow a run over seven innings. Kopech has five holds in those eight contests and is averaging over a strikeout per inning, so he's a desirable asset in fantasy leagues that count holds.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Tosses scoreless frame in debut
Kopech tossed a scoreless ninth inning in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Cardinals, allowing one hit with no walks and one strikeout.
Kopech gave up a single on his first pitch but went on to retire the Cardinals' top three hitters in order. The 29-year-old threw seven of nine pitches for strikes in his first appearance since returning from the injured list Saturday. He'll likely continue to be eased back in before joining the mix for high-leverage innings.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Officially activated
The Dodgers activated Kopech (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Kopech missed the first two-plus months of the campaign after developing a shoulder impingement during spring training. The righty reliever began participating in minor-league rehab games in mid-May and posted an 8.53 ERA and 2.21 WHIP over 6.1 innings across nine appearances, though he gave up just one run in four frames over his final five rehab outings. Kopech could regain a high-leverage in the Dodgers' bullpen, though the team may elect to bring him along slowly considering the amount of time he missed. To make room on the 40-man roster for Kopech, Los Angeles designated fellow reliever Chris Stratton for assignment.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Slated to return this weekend
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that there's a "good possibility" Kopech (shoulder) will rejoin the active roster this weekend, Benjamin Royer of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Kopech has been sidelined all season, first with right forearm inflammation and more recently a right shoulder impingement. After some initial struggles on his rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City, Kopech has been unscored upon in four of his last five appearances. The hard-throwing righty is likely to be eased into high-leverage situations.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Close to activation
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Kopech (shoulder) could be activated from the 60-day injured list during the upcoming week, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Kopech is expected to pitch Sunday for Triple-A Oklahoma City in what would be the ninth appearance of his rehab assignment. The right-hander entered Sunday's contest with an 18.56 ERA, 3.53 WHIP and 9:10 K:BB in 5.1 innings for the Triple-A club, but he had delivered scoreless appearances in three of his last four outings. Kopech served as a high-leverage reliever during the Dodgers' run to the World Series last fall, but given his rocky performance during his rehab assignment, the right-hander could be deployed in middle relief in his initial appearances upon returning from the IL.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Several more rehab games on tap
Kopech (shoulder) will pitch at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday and is expected to make several more appearances during his rehab assignment before being activated from the 60-day injured list, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Kopech got roughed up in his third rehab outing for the Comets on Wednesday, surrendering three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one over 0.2 innings. The Dodgers don't appear to be in any hurry to bring the right-hander back from the IL, as the club noted Monday that Kopech will appear in at least three more games before being reinstated.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Sharp in second rehab outing
Kopech (shoulder) struck out two batters and gave up one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning of relief in his second rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
After failing to record an out while issuing five walks and getting charged with five earned runs in his first rehab outing with Oklahoma City on Thursday, Kopech assuaged some of the concern about his health by delivering a strong performance Sunday. He touched 99.7 miles per hour with his fastball twice in his 14-pitch appearance, throwing 10 strikes while retiring three of the four batters he faced. Before kicking off his rehab assignment last week, Kopech hadn't pitched in a game setting since the World Series last fall while recovering from a right shoulder impingement, so he'll likely require at least a few more outings in the minors before the Dodgers bring him back from the 60-day injured list.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Beginning assignment Thursday
Kopech (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Kopech began the season on the injured list due to forearm inflammation, but a right shoulder impingement has extended his absence by a couple of months. It's unclear how long the Dodgers plan on keeping the 29-year-old in the minors, but once active, Kopech should play an important role in a Dodgers bullpen that's been decimated by injuries this year.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Closing in on rehab assignment
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Kopech (shoulder) is expected to embark on a rehab assignment next week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Kopech has been dealing with a right shoulder impingement over the past few weeks after starting the season on the injured list due to right forearm inflammation. He's been ramping up his pitch count in bullpen sessions and is set to start facing batters. Barring any setbacks, Kopech will start his rehab assignment next week, and how he responds after each outing will determine a timeline for his return to the majors.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Moves to 60-day IL
The Dodgers transferred Kopech (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Kopech landed on the injured list at the start of the season due to forearm inflammation, and his recovery has been slowed by a right shoulder impingement. He has built up to throwing 30 pitches during bullpen sessions but will still miss another several weeks, as he has yet to begin a rehab assignment. He'll be joined on the 60-day IL by Blake Treinen (forearm) to clear 40-man spots for new additions J.P. Feyereisen and Ryan Loutos.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Ramping up bullpen sessions
Kopech (shoulder) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Thursday and is scheduled for another Monday before potentially being cleared to face live batters, Benjamin Royer of the Los Angeles Times reports.
The right-hander's throwing program stalled in late March due to a shoulder impingement after he came into camp with some forearm inflammation, but he's now nearing the latter stages of his rehab program. Kopech will likely require a few rehab appearances in the minors before rejoining the Dodgers, so he's likely still at least a couple weeks away from being reinstated.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Tosses bullpen Tuesday
Kopech (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, per MLB.com.
The bullpen was Kopech's second since he had his throwing program stalled in late March. The veteran reliever has recently stated that he "feels good" as he ramps up toward a return from the right shoulder injury that has kept him from seeing any game action so far this season. Kopech will presumably need a minor-league rehab assignment before he's ready to be activated off the IL, and when he eventually rejoins the Dodgers' big-league bullpen, he could be eased back into a high-leverage role considering the amount of time he has missed.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Ramping up throwing program
Kopech (shoulder) said Thursday that he feels food and is ramping back up his throwing program, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The forearm issue Kopech came into camp with felt good early on in spring training, but he developed a shoulder problem because he ramped up his throwing too quickly, which sent him to the injured list. He also was delayed at one point due to a stomach bug. Kopech appears to be getting back on track now, but there's no timetable for his return.

Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Has throwing program stalled
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Kopech (shoulder) is "sort of in a holding pattern" with his throwing, per MLB.com.
Kopech is dealing with a right shoulder impingement and will open the campaign on the injured list. He had been throwing bullpen sessions as of early March, but given Roberts' comments, it's unclear what the righty reliever's throwing program looks like at the moment. Kopech notched six regular-season saves for Los Angeles after being acquired from the White Sox in late July last year, but he's been slated for a setup role when healthy this season with newcomer Tanner Scott expected to work as the Dodgers' primary closer.
