The Dodgers ended the 2012 season with a lot of injuries as well as a lot of uncertainties as to when some players will be returning to action. Now as a fan this is a scary thought to know that one of your favorite players or a key player in the team may not be able to play the next season, but now that sometime has passed and some measures have been taken we have some good news.
In an article written by Ken Gurnick titled "Injured Dodgers looking good for Opening Day". Gurnick talks to Stan Conte who is the vice president of medical services, and he was able to get the rundown of how the injuries are coming and when everyone will be expected back.
