When the Los Angeles Dodgers officially opened Summer Camp at Dodger Stadium earlier this month, AJ Pollock was among the several players who was not yet with the team. The absences were not explained by manager Dave Roberts or the team, but some players have individually shed light on their respective situations.
Pollock chose to do so upon reporting to camp one week behind his teammates, revealing the delayed arrival was due to contracting the coronavirus (COVID-19). Pollock experienced multiple symptoms, including headaches, body aches, congestion and loss of smell.
“It was a wild ride,” Pollock said.
