Why are the Dodgers on a Spotlight Right Now?
Recently, a spotlight has been cast on two crucial aspects of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ current season. The injury of star pitcher Clayton Kershaw and and the mixed reactions around the signing of Jake Marisnick.

Clayton Kershaw’s shoulder injury and the lack of transparency on the severity have left fans in the dark eagerly awaiting their star pitcher to return. Despite the early optimism that he would avoid being placed on the injured list, he eventually was. Recent announcements by the Dodgers have prolonged his comeback and there is still a lack of details worrying the fans.

How bad is Clayton Kershaw’s Injury?
“I’ve never had anything like it, to the point where, I’m gonna go play catch today and throw it as hard as I can, and they say it needs to rest,” Kershaw stated. He expresses his own confusion on the situation and on top of that, the manager of the Dodgers, Dave Roberts, has been diverting from revealing the details of the injury.

Was the signing of Jake Marisnick a good move?
In a contrasting move, the Dodgers have signed Jake Marisnick, who was a former member of the controversial 2017 Astros team. This signing has created mixed reactions amongst fans while some are disappointed due to his past involvement. But others have supported his signing, and his former high school teammates Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor, have emphasized his abilities and potential to contribute towards success.

Clayton Kershaw even gave his input on the situation stating, “Selfishly I guess, he didn’t really affect me”. From this statement, one can assume there is a lack of distrust or resentment towards the signing.

In the end…
The Dodgers’ decision to keep information to themselves have sparked debates among fans regarding transparency and honesty. Regardless, fans are hopeful for Kershaw’s swift recovery and return on the mound. As for Marisnick, the support from other players may go a long way in easing the tensions within the fans as the team is on pursuit for a World Series title this year. As they continue their journey through the 2023 season, there will be many eyes on these two developments.
