Ken Gurnick, of LosAngeles.Dodgers.MLB.com, reports Los Angeles Dodgers 1B Olmedo Saenz will be the team's designated hitter Friday, May 18, and will likely fill that role in at least one of the team's other games this weekend. Saenz will be in the lineup because the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are starting all right-handed pitchers during their weekend series. Left-handed hitting 3B Wilson Betemit could also get a start at designated hitter Saturday, May 19, because Angels SP Jered Weaver is on the mound. Left-handed batters are hitting .356 against Weaver this season.
