Dodgers dealt yet another injury, this time by a hotel door

The Los Angeles Dodgers are already the most injured team in the history of baseball. They’ve broken the players-on-the-disabled list record and everything.

The Dodgers have had a such a bad run with injuries this season that apparently their players aren’t safe anywhere. Not even in their hotel rooms while ordering room service. A hotel door sent another Dodger to the sidelines, as Josh Reddick hurt his finger in a rather unusual way, according to Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times:

Two bits of good news: The Dodgers didn’t exactly need Reddick in their 18-9 shellacking of the Reds on Monday afternoon. And Reddick’s injury isn’t serious enough that he’ll miss extended time.

More than anything, it should serve as a reminder for the Dodgers: Injuries can and will happen at any moment, day or night, on the field or in the hotel. With their luck so far this season, the Dodgers might need to put a protective detail on their starting lineup to avoid any mishaps with shower doors, kitchen floors and push-button telephones.
