The Los Angeles Dodgers will be without one of their hard-throwing relief pitchers for Opening Day of the 2025 season after he suffered a foot injury in camp.
Edgardo Henriquez had his left foot in a walking boot Tuesday, according to multiple reports from the team’s spring training camp in Phoenix, Arizona. Manager Dave Roberts said the right-hander suffered a metatarsal injury and won’t be ready for the start of the regular season.

Henriquez’s rise through the Dodgers’ minor league system was breathtaking, as he pitched at all four levels of the organizational ladder in 2024 before reaching the majors.
Prior to his Sept. 24 debut, Henriquez threw 53 innings with an ERA of 2.72. He struck out 88 batters and issued only 29 walks.
