NEW YORK >> Scott Van Slyke hurt his neck Saturday during a cab ride in New York City and was unavailable to the Dodgers for that night’s game against the Mets.
He returned Sunday and was able to bat with a slightly less-stiff neck -- and an unusual endorsement.
“I endorse New York Uber drivers,” Van Slyke said.
Van Slyke said he hit his head on the plastic divider in front of him when the driver stopped short. He couldn’t completely turn his head as a result of the injury, which he believes was a mild form of whiplash.
