As fans patiently wait on the management crew of the Dodgers to make the final few decisions regarding the team’s Opening Day roster, it may be worth recapping a few of the more notable injuries and how they may impact the overall makeup of the squad during the first month of the season.
The final roster spots are still undecided mainly because of a pitch that hit the wrist of utility man Enrique Hernández in Tuesday’s Cactus League contest against the Reds. Although X-rays taken on Tuesday came back negative, skipper Dave Roberts said the team wants to see how Hernández responds to the bruise before deciding on which player has earned the club’s super-utility role.
