However, Stone solidified a spot in the starting rotation in spring training this year. The right-hander made 25 starts with a more than respectable ERA of 3.53 in 14o 1\/3 innings. Before getting injured, the hurler could be counted on to provide length and stability to a staff in flux.<\/p>\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Plagued by Injuries<\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-55\"><\/div>\n<p>Including Stone, every member of the Dodgers\u2019 Opening Day starting rotation has visited the IL.\u00a0Tyler Glasnow\u00a0is\u00a0out for the season\u00a0while\u00a0Yoshinobu Yamamoto\u00a0has returned.<\/p>\n<p>Since his arrival at the trade deadline,\u00a0Jack Flaherty\u00a0has given the Dodgers a much-needed boost.
