In what ultimately became a moot point as Major League Baseball was shut down by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Los Angeles Dodgers faced injuries to multiple players.
Dustin May and Jimmy Nelson were on the mend, and Omar Estevez overcame shoulder trouble to return to Cactus League action. But Joc Pederson never managed to appear in a Major League game after being limited during Spring Training workouts.
He was slowed by a right side/hip injury from the beginning of camp and had just been cleared to participate in workouts and a Minor League game before MLB suspended operations.
