Dodgers Hand Consultant Being Sued By Former Player
Obviously, if you stretch back far enough in your memory bank; you’ll remember Rob Segedin. For it wasn’t that long ago that he homered off Madison Bumgarner in August of 2016. Then, Segedin went to the hospital to see his child be born. While that was the high point, Segedin is no longer in the big leagues.
After the 2017 season, he had a hand injury that required surgery with the team’s hand specialist Dr. Steven Shin. Segedin would never again play in the big leagues after continually being bothered by the injury.
Now, Pedro Moura writes a story over at The Athletic that tells us about the upcoming lawsuit between Segedin, his wife, and the Dodgers’ team hand consultant.
A former Dodger is suing the team's hand consultant over what he claims is negligence. Rob Segedin's wife also is suing, claiming "loss of love, companionship, comfort, affection, society, and solace, and sexual relations.”

Seriously, please hold your puns in the comments section. It sounds like Segedin has had an immense amount of trouble with his hand and wrist since retirement. From the article:
Among other claims, Segedin’s suit alleges he was not properly apprised of his actual condition and was negligently recommended “unnecessary surgery.” Those injuries, according to the complaint, “will result in permanent impairment,” causing him to “suffer pain, loss of enjoyment of life and other forms of severe mental and emotional distress and anguish.”
Currently, Segedin serves as an analyst for the Philadelphia Phillies organization. It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out in the coming months or even years.
Furthermore, Dr. Shin is also a hand consultant for the Los Angeles Rams, Kings, Angels, USC and Loyola Marymount. Meanwhile Segedin retired after 53 games played in 2016 and 2017 which resulted in a .226 average and .636 OPS, all for the Dodgers.
Just use your other hand to finger your wife bro
You’re a real jerk-off.
Cry more snowflake
Can’t coach this sort of thing. You really can’t. It’s “special” and you need to be born with it.
I’d like to suggest that this site’s administrators close public comments when news/posts deal with personal, medical or legal issues. In fact, any information that might be considered sensitive should be off limits for comment by the troglodytes frequenting sports websites such as this “NODH” who has posted in this thread. It’s not necessary to subject ourselves to such base and ignorant commentary. Don’t confuse inflammatory or ignorant comments with “free speech.” The constitutional protections afforded speech does not include virulent, hateful or damaging o[inions. Just an fyi. Sure, I don’t have to scroll … or even visit this site … so, maybe I won’t. Up to you folks.
I agree no need for juvenile behavior. Too much of that going on no need to support it
Gotta feel bad for Rob. Dude was a gamer when we was out there. Had some good, clutch at bats for us. I wish him and his wife well and hope that they can find some semblance of normalcy after this debacle.
More interested in wife’s issues
I’m a retired / injured cop from CA. I live in daily chronic pain, can’t imagine a day with less pain than a 8/10. I wake every morning and make breakfast with and take my son to school. I work a part time job. I keep my family together and healthy. I’m poor as heck. I blame nobody. Life is what you make of it.
All surgeries are a risk, even the simplest. Reputable doctors make mistakes and sometimes the human body does not respond as we would expect. If the doctor messed up, he’s gotta pay up. That is what malpractice is for.
