Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Landon Knack suffered a right chest injury, an intercostal strain, that has set him back from fighting for a spot on the major league roster.

Knack made four appearances for the Dodgers in Spring Training before picking up his injury and getting shut down.

He started the season on the injured list following his injury, eventually being moved to the 60-day IL back in late April to open up a roster spot.

After months of working down in the Dodgers’ complex in Arizona and rehabbing, Knack has joined Triple-A Oklahoma City for a rehabilitation assignment to see where he is at.

Knack split time in Triple-A and the majors in 2025, putting up a 4.89 ERA in 10 games for the Dodgers with seven starts under his belt as well.

Down in Triple-A, he had less success, with a 6.66 ERA in 102.2 innings of work.

His best work came back in 2024, when he posted 1.0 bWAR as a rookie with a 3.65 ERA over 15 games.

As a righty who will turn 29 soon, Knack still has a role to play for the Dodgers as an organizational depth piece if he can get healthy again.

Despite his lackluster 2025, the Dodgers still believe in him enough to keep him on the 40-man roster.

Where is Landan Knack at now?

Knack threw 6.2 innings and had a 10.80 ERA, allowing eight hits, eight runs, two home runs, three walks, and five strikeouts.

It was a small sample size during the spring, but Knack did not look great, all things considered.

Still, with a spot on the 40-man roster, Knack will get a chance to impress down in Triple-A, and the Dodgers have a need for pitching depth at the moment with so many injuries to the staff in the rotation and bullpen.
