Wow! This is a gigantic blow to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Announcing their 25-man roster against the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS, one of their biggest stars will NOT be joining the team.

Dodgers shortstop and 2016 NL Rookie of the Year will not be playing against the Cubs. This can be a big blow as Corey powered the Dodgers lineup from the middle of the order. It is said that Corey has a back injury, which is keeping him off the roster.

In fact, his back had been flaring up for a while and toughed it out during the NLDS against the Arizona Diamondbacks. With several off days, Corey had missed workouts in hopes to rest the back. It apparently hasn’t healed up much, and if you have dealt with back issues, they SUCK!

I have suffered from back/spine issues for a while, something that I have basically learned to deal with. I have limited mobility and flexibility, and some days the back decides it just doesn’t want to cooperate. This is even with consistent treatment. So I can only imagine the issues this would present a professional athlete (heck I play baseball as well and it limits everything I can do).

If he is off the roster, this isn’t a very good sign.
