Injuries make it a painful week to be a Los Angeles Dodgers fan

It’s been a painful week for Los Angeles Dodgers fans following back-to-back injuries to Justin Turner, Yasiel Puig and Corey Seager.

It’s been one hell of a season for us Los Angeles Dodgers fans, and I hate to admit it’s not looking like it’s getting better any time soon.

The Dodgers are coming off a tough World Series loss (in Game 7, no less) and it looks like perhaps the team is carrying that bad luck into 2018. We’ve already dropped a whopping 15 (of 27) games due in part to third baseman Justin Turner’s spring training injury, and just this week alone we’ve also lost Yasiel Puig and Corey Seager — AND IT’S ONLY MONDAY!

Puig was injured during Saturday’s doubleheader when he crashed into a wall making a catch and then later when he fouled a fastball off his foot. Puig has been placed on the 10-day disabled list.

Then on Monday, the team announced that Seager was out for the season due to needing Tommy John surgery from a right UCL sprain. Chris Taylor will fill in for Seager.

Not to mention pitcher Rich Hill is also on the DL with an infection in his finger.

Can we not catch a break?

Next: Corey Seager to miss remainder of season

To make matters worse, the Dodgers are currently ranked below their longtime rivals the (gag) San Francisco Giants, who have won 14 of their 28 games (including five victories over the Dodgers). This alone would be any Dodgers fan’s nightmare, but the losses paired with massive injuries are just too much for many to bear.

This is probably the only time that Dodgers fans will be glad that they can’t watch the games due to cable blackouts.

I know it’s still early in the season, and there is plenty of time to recover and get back into that World Series mindset, but there certainly appears to be a dark cloud hovering over Chavez Ravine.
