Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder A.J. Pollock (elbow) has returned to Los Angeles to undergo an exploratory procedure to determine the severity of the infection in his right elbow and whether a growth plate in the joint needs to be surgically repaired. Pollock had surgeries on his growth plate in the same elbow in 2010 and 2016, and doctors are expected to flush out any fluid. If no surgery is needed, he could return in a few weeks. However, Pollock would be out for at least six weeks if the growth plate needs to be fixed again. He hasn't started off the year strong but needs to be held onto for the time being. Alex Verdugo will benefit from consistent playing time in center field. He is hitting .333 with four home runs, four doubles, two triples and 16 RBI in 26 games and needs to be picked up everywhere.--Keith Hernandez
