Essentially two weeks after David Freese, A.J. Pollock and Corey Seager returned, giving the Los Angeles Dodgers their full complement of position players available, the team is suddenly dealing with a rash of injuries.
Chris Taylor suffered a fractured left forearm during the first series after the All-Star break, and estimates he will be sidelined four to six weeks. Taylor did not update that timetable but recently said his recovery is going well.
Meanwhile, Kiké Hernandez was removed from Wednesday’s game due to left hand soreness. X-rays were negative, but Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after his club’s loss to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, he wasn’t quite sure of Hernandez’s availability moving forward.
