The Dodgers have been trotting out youngsters for a couple of months already. At the moment though, they kind of have to. On the IL...
Verdugo (lower back; went on yesterday; at least 10 days)
Pollock (not on the IL yet but has a groin strain)
Taylor (busted arm; return late Aug/early Sept)
Stripling (bicep tendonitis morphed into neck soreness; no timetable)
Hernandez (hand sprain; back soon-ish)
Freese (hamstring; September)
Ryu (neck; should start Sunday)
Hill (forearm strain; September)
Alexander (forearm; no timetable - sounds like he's done for the year)

wait a second, Pollock is injured again? I'm SHOCKED!
