The never-ending parade of bad pitcher news hit a fever pitch (excuse the pun) laast weekend, with Eury Pérez, Shane Bieber, and Jonathan Loáisiga all heading for Tommy John surgery, and Spencer Strider heading to Texas for another evaluation before he (ostensibly) undergoes his second TJ. The epidemic is getting so out of hand that Tony Clark, the head of the MLBPA, issued a statement about the rash of injuries, causing the league office to offer a forceful response. With so many pitchers going down, and so many trying to work their way back (Gerrit Cole, Dustin May, Walker Buehler, etc.), there are a few roster spots open for the following free agents who are just sitting at home, waiting for the phone to ring, hoping to get another chance to keep their careers afloat.
On March 28, 2019, the Los Angeles Dodgers began the season in emphatic fashion as they set an Opening Day record and tied a franchise all-time mark for any game with eight home runs against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Austin Barnes, Corey Seager, Cody Bellinger and Max Muncy also contributed to the record-setting afternoon at Dodger Stadium.
