The Los Angeles Dodgers caught a tough injury break last week when starting center fielder A.J. Pollock went down with an infection in his right elbow.
Pollock had surgery on that elbow in 2019 and again last year when he was with the Arizona Diamondbacks. His latest operation was to remove remove the metal plates and screws that previously were inserted as a means to stabilizing the joint.
The surgery was successful and Pollock has begun recovering, although the Dodgers have not yet set any sort of expectation for how long he is going to be out.
