Story summary

Will Klein, who became an unlikely hero for the Dodgers in the 2025 World Series by pitching four scoreless innings during an 18-inning game, underwent successful surgery and is expected to be ready for spring training. The right-handed reliever missed the latter part of the 2026 season due to a right elbow injury but posted a 3.67 ERA with 49 strikeouts across 41.2 innings before going on the injured list in August. Klein's absence was notable as the Dodgers, despite being back-to-back World Series champions, were swept by the Brewers in the National League Championship Series (NLCS), lacking several key bullpen players including Blake Treinen and Brusdar Graterol among others.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
