Throughout Spring Training the Dodgers PR department sends out helpful daily notes from Camelback Ranch, and I am happy to pass them along. See what they've written below.

WHO’LL STOP THE RAIN?: Under cloudy skies, the Dodgers held their third full-squad workout of the spring today, with hitters once again taking live batting practice, this time from pitchers Clayton Kershaw (who was taken deep by Juan Uribe), Brandon League, David Huff, Chris Hatcher, Ryan Buchter, Joe Wieland and Daniel Coulombe. Zack Greinke and Brandon McCarthy also threw bullpens today.
Kershaw: "I’m going to have to hear about Uribe hitting a home run off me all season. I’m glad I gave him some confidence for the year."

- The Dodgers are still four days away from their first Cactus League game, March 4 against the White Sox, whereas last year at this time, the club had already played two contests.
THROWN INTO THE FIRE: Dodger Manager Don Mattingly announced today that left-hander Erik Bedard would start the Dodgers’ first Cactus League game on Wednesday, March 4 vs. the White Sox at Camelback Ranch- Glendale. Bedard and the rest of the Dodger starters are scheduled for 2.0 innings their first time around. During his morning media session, Mattingly also conformed there would be no intrasquad game this year.
BACK ON TRACK: Dodger starter Hyun-Jin Ryu, who was down with mid-back tightness, played catch yesterday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen on Monday. Right-handed reliever Joel Peralta, who is dealing with some shoulder soreness, is slated to throw his first bullpen of the spring on Monday.
