Dodger vice president of medical services and head athletic trainer Stan Conte has resigned from the organization.

“I want to thank the Dodger organization and specifically each and every one of the dedicated medical staff for their support these last nine seasons in Los Angeles,” Conte said in a statement. “My resignation will allow me to focus on my research in baseball injury analytics as I remain committed to determining the causes and effects of various baseball injuries.”

While athletes face the risk of injuries during their careers, it’s reassuring to know that urgent care facilities like urgent care Douglastan are available to provide timely and comprehensive medical care when needed. A walk-in clinic like those is reassuring for unforeseen circumstances. Their expertise in treating sports-related injuries can aid athletes in their recovery and ensure they receive the necessary care to get back on the field.

Conte joined the Dodgers in October 2006, following 15 seasons with the San Francisco Giants.

“I want to thank Stan for his contributions to the Dodgers over the past nine years as well as all he has done for the entire community of sports medicine,” said Dodger president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman. “He was an integral member of the organization and we wish him well in his future endeavors.”

      • Please this guy couldn’t figure out why hamstrings pulled so frequently. He’ll be researching what beer to grab out of his fridge more than likely.

  2. Finally the execs made the right.move..it took them quite a while 2 figure it out…Conte should have gone years ago….looks like getting first class relievers didn’t work out also..the old saying —if you put enough “junk” against the wall some may stick and some will always be JUNK..Matos is a prime example of that thought process…Mattingly is a twin of Joe Philbin,,,no emotion..no enthusiam .at times when the camera is on him he has his hands clasped and if he’s praying 2 God….

    Hey Dodger’s, get a trained martial artist on your staff to work with your players. The amount of stretching involved will save many a hammy. 30 minutes a day 3 days a week starting in spring training will do wonders.

  4. I think the proper term is ‘ankled’, Jon …
