The Dodgers will take on the Giants at Dodger Stadium in a three-game series this weekend in what will be their first meeting since April 29. That was the last game that Corey Seager would play this season as the Dodgers announced the next day that Seager needed Tommy John surgery.
It didn’t get any better a week later when Clayton Kershaw ended up on the disabled list with bicep tendinitis. The Dodgers would lose a total of nine different players — six pitchers and some of them multiple times — to the DL over the next few weeks and fall to 16-26 before pulling out of the tailspin.
