Signed to a five-year, $60 million contract this past winter, A.J. Pollock has oft become the forgotten outfielder in his first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Of course, it’s easy to be overshadowed by Cody Bellinger, who is in the midst of an MVP-caliber campaign. But Pollock has also taken a backseat to rookie Alex Verdugo and now a streaking Joc Pederson during various stretches.
Much of that can be attributed to the 31-year-old undergoing elbow surgery in May that sidelined him for six weeks. Albeit in a loss to the San Francisco Giants on Friday night, Pollock had his moment in the spotlight.
