The trade deadline has passed. The Dodgers are welcoming back a number of their injured stars next week, and the starting rotation has stabilized at least somewhat with the return of Clayton Kershaw from the injured list and the emergence of rookie River Ryan.
Fans are well aware that injuries have decimated this season’s roster. Rather than placing the blame for the recent struggles on Andrew Friedman, one fan understood that the Dodgers’ President of Baseball Operations has no control over players’ health.
Although injuries have been a nuisance this season, one fan has found a benefit from having All-Star pitchers on the sidelines.
