- Via Joseph Werner at Beyond the Boxscore, "Joc Pederson's troubling trend."
Pederson offers up gobs of potential – above-average power and speed, a career walk rate north of 14%, the ability to man center field effectively – but he isn’t a certainty for stardom. In fact, it could be just the opposite. As the Dodgers’ front office aggressively pushed the burgeoning big leaguer quickly through the minor leagues, it appeared that Pederson handled each promotion with aplomb. But his once modest strikeout rate has become increasingly concerning with each stop.

- Via Mark Saxon at ESPNLosAngeles.com, "Yasmani Grandal and the art of stealing strikes."
“I’m trying to make the umpire’s job easier. The better lane I give them to see the ball, the better relationship I’m going to have with them, the more they’re going to trust me,” Grandal said. “I’m always talking to them, trying to see, ‘Hey, do you have a good lane to see? Am I cutting you off? Are you seeing this pitch?’ The relationship between the catcher and pitcher is pretty important, but you also have to have a relationship with the umpire.”
- An old friend alert! Mark Ellis has retired, via Susan Slusser at SFGate.com.
- Apparently, the ever cautious Dodgers had Hyun-Jin Ryu get a MRI. No worries though, Ken Gurnick reports it's fine.
Ryu MRI negative, no workout.
