The Los Angeles Dodgers were dealt what appeared to be a crippling blow at the end of April when it was announced Corey Seager was set to undergo Tommy John surgery. It was a carryover from last year and immediately ended his 2018 season.
At the time of the operation, it robbed the Dodgers of their starting left side of the infield. Justin Turner was still on the mend from a fractured left wrist sustained late in Spring Training.
While Seager was recovering from the elbow ligament surgery, the Dodgers announced he was in line for hip surgery.
