The Dodgers have been without outfielder AJ Pollock since early September, as he suffered a strained hamstring on the 4th and has been unable to fully recover to this point. But while they’ve certainly missed his production in the lineup, the team has still managed to remain within reach of the Giants for first place in the NL West.
Dave Roberts provided some reason for optimism on Tuesday when he stated that Pollock could be gearing up for some simulated at-bats in the coming days, but he would still have to go on a rehab assignment before making his eventual return.
