Days into Spring Training camp, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted his club’s health top to bottom was better than it had been over previous years. However, that has changed in the time since Roberts’ remarks.
Joc Pederson continues to be held out of workouts because of a side injury, Dustin May has been temporarily shut down due to a lingering issue, Jimmy Nelson battled through minor groin tightness, and now Chris Taylor has joined the list.
He started in the Cactus League opener and also the following day’s game. However, up until Thursday, Taylor had not been in the lineup since the Dodgers faced the Chicago Cubs in their first game of the year at Camelback Ranch.
