There’s bad luck, and then there’s Alex Dickerson. First he missed half of the 2014 season with ankle and leg issues. A promising 2015 minor league campaign led to a breakout in 2016, only to be cut short by a hip injury. Then he missed the 2017 season with back issues. Coming into spring training, everyone was optimistic about the back, but he felt some discomfort in his elbow early this month and was shut down. Team officials were hopeful that he could rehab the elbow and avoid surgery, but early signs were poor, and they have opted for surgery.
