As the Los Angeles Dodgers contend with early-season challenges, manager Dave Roberts provides updates on key players Jason Heyward, Blake Treinen, Brusdar Graterol, Bobby Miller, and Emmet Sheehan.
It is still early in the season but the Los Angeles Dodgers have been struggling with injuries with five important players on the roster missing some time for various reasons.
Manager Dave Roberts addressed the progress of Jason Heyward, Blake Treinen, Brusdar Graterol, Bobby Miller, and Emmet Sheehan before the series against the New York Mets on Friday afternoon. Heyward was placed on the injured list about three weeks ago because of lower back tightness. The Dodgers were hoping his stint on the 10-day IL would be just that but it has lasted quite a bit longer than anticipated opening the door for rookie Andy Pages to make his major league debut.“But I’m not sure what he’s doing as far as baseball activities. I do expect a rehab assignment to some extent. I don’t know when that’s going to start. We’ve got some boxes to check before we get to that point.
Treinen suffered a bruised lung and began the season on the IL but he threw a bullpen at Dodger Stadium on Thursday. He could begin a rehab assignment this week. “This Saturday will be the two out of three , so then it’ll be the back-to-back and at that point in time I think it will be a real conversation ,”Miller is dealing with some shoulder inflammation and an MRI didn't reveal any structural damage. Miller and the Dodgers areSheehan has been dealing with forearm trouble and the team expects him to play catch this week.
