- Eric Stephen at True Blue LA notes that, "Dodgers not producing against left-handed pitchers."
The Dodgers are hitting .216/.286/.358 against southpaws this season, 30th in baseball in OBP, 26th in OPS (.644), 26th in adjusted OPS+ (79), 21st in slugging percentage, 29th in batting average, 25th in wOBA (.288) and 24th in wRC+ (84).
- Via Mark Saxon at ESPNLosAngeles.com, "Juan Uribe could still be headed to DL."
"He looks pretty normal walking and things like that, so it's not one of those blow-ups, where a guy gets shot and he can't walk, so we're saying, 'mild,' but we'll see," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Hamstrings are tricky, because you can feel pretty good and, if you can't run, you can't play."
