Multiple Dodgers players sent home owing to illness, a precautionary measure before they leave for Seoul Series
According to journalist Jack Harris, multiple Dodgers players have caught undisclosed illness ahead of the Seoul Series. This includes Max Muncy, Gavin Lux, and assistant pitching coach Connor McGuiness. The news was confirmed by Dodgers manager Dave Roberts.
It's unclear whether the infield duo of Lux and Muncy will play the next spring game against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday.
The move is taken as a precautionary measure, given they don't want to expose the illness in the camp before they get on the 13-hour flight to Seoul.
Game 1 will see Tyler Glasnow start for the Dodgers whereas for Padres, Yu Darvish will take the mound.
