Dodgers News: Minor Injuries Pile Up Weeks Before Opening Day
The Dodgers had historically bad luck with injuries last year. Spring training 2017 is heading in the same direction.
Though all are minor, several Dodgers are dinged up right now. None are at risk of missing the first game, but the franchise will have to monitor each situation closely.
Team w/most depth has a lot going on, tho all r thought small things: seager (oblique) turner (knee) kazmir, ethier (hip)

.@HyunJinRyu99 will pitch Saturday. @coreyseager_5 is still limited. Roberts said a full week off is a benefit. No need to rush. It's 3/8.

Scott Kazmir left today’s start with hip tightness. He hopes to be ready to pitch five days from now. https://t.co/Ra3hnBz4lU

per Roberts, Andre Ethier is dealing with a hip "tweak" could play if it was season, but is taking it easy. #Dodgers
