Dodgers coach Dave Roberts said that Corey Seager’s right hand fractured in Saturday’s victory over the Marlins did not require surgery.
“I think we survived that bullet,” Roberts said. “No surgery needed. He is on the splint. We will only let it heal.”
This is a glimmer of hope in the latest dark cloud over the club, which suffered serious injuries six weeks after the start of the season.
According to Roberts, Seager will still be absent for at least four weeks. The Dodgers said the X-ray showed a fracture of his fifth metacarpal bone, a bone at the base of his little finger. He joined the 10 teammates currently on the injury list, who have been absent since the start of the season: Scott Alexander, Cody Bellinger, Tony Gunslinger, Bruce Dahl Glatt Rolle, Corey Knebel, Dustin May, Zach McInstry, AJ Pollock, David Price, and Edwin Rios.
“That’s why you played 162,” Roberts said. “This is what pulls your hair. But the great thing about baseball is that we are digging into the depths and giving players a chance. You have to figure it out because no one will feel sorry for the Dodgers. It’s okay. But I still love us. player of.”
Seager was injured when he was hit by a 90-mph drop in the fifth inning on Saturday. He immediately quit the game. On Sunday morning, he emerged from the inside of Dodger Stadium and talked with his agent Scott Boras wearing a splint under a plaster.
The Dodgers recalled receiver Keibert Ruiz to replace Seager on the roster. When the Dodgers are expected to undergo a minor lineup overhaul on Monday, there will be at least three rounds of lineup changes.
Roberts said Price has strained a hamstring since April 26, and Yoshi Tsutsugo, acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, will join the team on Monday. Albert Pujols, who agreed to accept the terms on Saturday, is also expected to wear a uniform for the first time, but Roberts has not yet commented on the acquisition because it has not yet been officially announced.
Pujols will mainly be used as a flanker, occasionally starting at first base, which may be more frequent after Seager is injured.
The plan is for Tsutsugo to divide his playing time between first base, third base and left field. As a left-handed batsman, he effectively replaced Rios, who plans to undergo end-of-season surgery on his right shoulder this week.
After leaving Japan to sign a two-year, US$12 million contract, Tsutsugo has hit 0.187 with 8 homers and a 0.628 base slam percentage in 77 games with the Rays in the past two seasons. Since entering the major leagues, he has struggled especially at high speeds. Roberts said the odds’ batting department has identified ways he can improve.
Roberts said: “If you are side by side with the light in Japan, he is a shell of his own.” “So obviously we need to discuss some things, we want to hear his view of his position on the machine and in the process. , So that we can have a dialogue to solve this problem together, because there are many benefits. The bat has a life. He is a professional batsman.”
But Tsutsugo is not Corey Seager. Neither is Pujols, nor in the final stages of his career. The Dodgers will have to sail without him for at least next month, mainly using Gavin Lux on the guerrillas. The craze continues.
The Dodgers, like they were at the Dodger Stadium all season, were introduced as the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers before losing 3-2 to the Miami Marlins on Sunday. A more accurate description is what is left of the world championship team, because there is not much.
On Sunday morning, Corey Seager officially became the 13th Dodge player on the injury list, joining Scott Alexander, Cody Bellinger, Tony Gonsolin, Bruce Dal Glatro, Corey Knebel, Dustin May, Zach McInstry, AJ Pollock, David Price, Edwin Rios, Caleb Ferguson and Tommy Kahnle.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery last summer, Ferguson and Kahnler will not be pitching in 2021. May (elbow) and Rios (shoulder) will not return this season. The returns for the remaining players ranged from a few days to a few months.
Seager’s timetable is in the middle. Dodgers coach Dave Roberts said he expects the shortstop to be absent for at least four weeks after hitting the fifth metacarpal bone at 90 mph in the fifth inning on Saturday.

In the victory on Saturday night, after Corey Seager fractured his right hand, the Dodgers will play on Sunday due to another major injury.
As expected, at least on Sunday, they will replace Seag, Gavin Lux moved from second base to shortstop, and Max Monsi jumped from the clearing point to second in the batting order.
Therefore, Matt Beatty will rise to four holes in the lineup. He will start from left field. Christelle has been starting in midfield most of the time recently, and he will play second base. Mookie Betts will play midfield and Luke Raley will start on the right.
Sig is expected to be included on the injured list soon. The corresponding measures have not yet been announced.
His fracture is just the latest in a long series of major setbacks for the Dodgers this season. The club currently does not have Cody Bellinger, Zach McInstry, AJ Pollock, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, Bruce Dahl Glatero, Scott Alexander, Big David Price and Corey Knebel.
Price is expected to rejoin the club on Monday or Tuesday. Mackinstry is scheduled to accept rehabilitation tasks tomorrow. Bellinger should start his mission this weekend.
Jimmy Nelson will begin on Sunday as the opener of the bullpen game. The Dodgers decided to postpone Walker Buller’s starting time to Monday to give him more rest.

The Dodgers entered Sunday’s series finals with a score of 4-15, and the Miami Marlins won four consecutive games. Another victory against the Marlins will give them a sweep of three games for the first time in more than a month.
The Marlins will turn to Pablo Lopez to try to avoid sweeping. In six of the eight starts, he only allowed two or fewer runs, but his record was 0-3. Lopez’s performance at home and away is also very good, 6-10 ERA is 6.00, 1.6 home runs per nine innings, and his record is 7-9, SR is 2.92, In every nine innings, 0.6 home runs surrendered at home.
The Dodgers will use Jimmy Nelson as their starter and serve as more of the opening line. This will be his first start after becoming the Dodgers in the offseason. Nelson was the starting pitcher of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2017 and finished ninth in the Cy Young Awards voting.
The Marlins have scored fewer than four points in six of Lopez’s eight starts this season. The Dodgers led 1-7 in the last eight games that Nelson played.
The Dodgers lead 10-7 at home, while the Marlins lead MLB 2-6 in the past eight games, but are sixth in the bullpen ERA with 3.19.
