In an otherwise busy and productive week for the Dodgers, there were a few big headlines that show no team is invincible. Not even the best team in baseball.
First up, word got out early that infielder Zach McKinstry would be joining the team on the road in San Diego where he would potentially make his MLB debut. Then the mood quickly changed to somber when we learned that he would be taking the roster spot of Joc Pederson who was leaving the team with a personal issue.
