The Los Angeles Dodgers have been going through a tough season while dealing with injuries and that isn't expected to get much better anytime soon, as both Matt Kemp and Hanley Ramirez have struggled to get back into the lineup and now the shortstop needs an MRI while Kemp had a setback in his recovery.
According to Hardball Talk From NBC Sports, Kemp suffered a setback while trying to return from a hamstring injury that put him on the DL, while Ramirez was pulled out of the lineup and put on the bench for the fourth straight game as the team wants to take an MRI. Ramirez has been dealing with injuries all season so far and now he may be placed on the DL again depending on what happens with the MRI. Ramirez could be back on the DL for the third time, while Kemp may take a bit longer to come back.
Manager Don Mattingly has been trying to keep the team winning despite the injuries and while some of the pitching has been solid, the offense has been lacking and the team is just 27-35, ranking 27th in the league in scoring.
