Before a recent turnaround, the Los Angeles Dodgers got off to one of their worst starts to a season in franchise history. Players struggled on the field, but the Dodgers also had the deck stacked against them by way of losing key contributors to injury.
In his third year as a manager, Dave Roberts has been through more adversity in the first month and a half of this season than perhaps his entire first two seasons combined. He guided the Dodgers to a National League West title and was named manager of the Year in 2016, and the team reached the World Series last season for the first time since 1988.
