Los Angeles California. Los Angeles Dodgers right handed starting pitcher Josh Beckett, 34, who has not pitched for the Dodgers since he made his last start on August 3, 2014 against the Chicago Cubs is likely not to be able to pitch again this current baseball season.
Beckett has a tear in his left labrum on his left hip. Beckett will be a free agent at the end of the 2014 baseball season.
Beckett started his career in the Major Leagues with the Florida Marlins in 2001. Beckett has pitched for the Florida Marlins, Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. It is possible that Beckett will retire from the game of baseball after this season ends.
Beckett has won two World Series rings with the 2003 Florida Marlins and the 2007 Boston Red Sox during his career in the Major Leagues.
The Dodgers are likely to make a roster change since Beckett is likely to be placed on the disabled list. It is possible that the Dodgers will replace Beckett on the roster with a player from the free agent waiver wire.
The Dodgers are currently in first place in the National League West Division two games ahead of the San Francisco Giants. Losing Beckett for the rest of the current baseball season will hurt the Dodgers pitching staff morale.
