Dodgers' pitchers Michael Kopech and Kirby Yates nearing return from injuries, could boost bullpen.

The Los Angeles Dodgers may get a boost to their struggling bullpen this weekend with the potential return of pitchers Michael Kopech and Kirby Yates. Both threw pitches in simulated games on Wednesday and are being evaluated for activation. Kopech had been out due to a shoulder injury, while Yates was sidelined by a hamstring strain. Their return could strengthen the team's relief pitching, which has been hit hard by injuries.
