Dodgers face early-season issues as Tucker defends slow start and Dreyer struggles

Dodgers Kyle Tucker Dreyer pitching stats early season

The Dodgers' Kyle Tucker says he isn't pressing in the opening weeks of his debut Dodgers season, attributing his slower start to swing adjustments rather than effort. He told The California Post on Monday that he has missed pitches that he felt the at-bat should have been over with. Tucker added, 'I've missed some pitches that I feel the at-bat should have been over with'.

The Dodgers are off to a fantastic start overall, but reliever Dreyer is struggling, ranking in the bottom 1% of MLB in two important pitching statistics.
