The Dodgers have kicked off the 2025 season with a bang, sweeping the Cubs in the Tokyo Series, but not without some drama. With Freddie Freeman sidelined due to a rib injury that seems to be haunting him again, and a staggering nine players already on the injured list, the question looms: how will the Dodgers navigate this early season adversity?

Shohei Ohtani's performance has been a bright spot, hitting a homer in the opener and showcasing his talent on an international stage. But can he carry the team in Freeman's absence? And what does this mean for the Dodgers' chances this season?

Let’s talk about the implications of Freeman's injury. Is this a sign of a larger issue for the Dodgers, or can they rally around their star players like Ohtani and Mookie Betts, who is also dealing with his own recovery?

Moreover, with the team already facing such significant injuries, what are your bold predictions for the Dodgers this season? Will they be able to maintain their competitive edge, or are we looking at a potential struggle ahead?
