The Dodgers’ Emmet Sheehan, 24, faced setbacks in spring training due to body and shoulder soreness. His impressive major league debut was followed by an inconsistent season.

Walker Buehler is unlikely to pitch in the Cactus League despite being healthy, as the Dodgers want to manage his innings due to two Tommy John surgeries.

Sunday, February 18, 2024 Copyrighted by Sarah Morris, 2024 Freddie Freeman is a cornerstone of the Los Angeles Dodger infield. Everyone in baseball expects Freeman to have another stellar season.
