6/13/25 | Dodgers Make Major Change to Starting Rotation. When the Dodgers reported to spring training, Ben Casparius was too far down the depth chart to dream of cracking the starting rotation.

Ben Casparius was able to catch a short nap on the couch inside the Citi Field visitors' clubhouse on Friday afternoon.
