Los Angeles Dodgers news, rumors and injuriesThu, 17 Apr 2014 11:28:02 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers SS Hanley Ramirez (hand) said he expects to be back in the lineup Friday, April 18.

Share: Dodgers | Clayton Kershaw throws bullpen Thu, 17 Apr 2014 10:25:32 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers SP Clayton Kershaw (back) tossed 35 pitches during his bullpen session Thursday, April 17, mixing in breaking pitches. Fantasy Tip: Kershaw's body language looked great, and it didn't seem like his back was giving him problems at all. If he doesn't have any setbacks, Kershaw should be back in a few weeks. Share: Dodgers | Hanley Ramirez sitting Thu, 17 Apr 2014 09:29:58 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers SS Hanley Ramirez (hand) is out of the lineup Thursday, April 17. Also sitting are OFs Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier. Fantasy Tip: The good news for Hanley is that the X-rays on his hand were negative after he was hit by a pitch Wednesday night. Check back for updates on his condition. If it's a long-term injury, Dee Gordon or Chone Figgins could lock down the 6. Share: Dodgers | Dee Gordon off to strong start Thu, 17 Apr 2014 06:13:32 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers 2B Dee Gordon leads the majors with 10 steals in his first 13 games. He's also hitting .404 in 47 at-bats. Fantasy Tip: Now might be a good time to sell high for a proven commodity. Gordon could continue his base-stealing tear. However, he has yet to prove that he can sustain a high average in the bigs. Share: Dodgers | Hanley Ramirez exits Thu, 17 Apr 2014 06:03:37 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers SS Hanley Ramirez (hand) left the game Wednesday, April 16, after he was hit on the left hand by a pitch. X-rays were negative. Fantasy Tip: Expect him to miss a day or two, but it sounds like they dodged a bullet. Share: Dodgers | Chad Billingsley has tendinitis Wed, 16 Apr 2014 18:26:25 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers SP Chad Billingsley (elbow) is dealing with some tendinitis, and he will be slowed down as he rehabs from Tommy John surgery. There is no problem with Billingsley's surgically repaired ligament. Share: Dodgers | Yasiel Puig not in lineup Wed, 16 Apr 2014 17:59:38 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers OF Yasiel Puig was not in the lineup Wednesday, April 16, against the San Francisco Giants. Manager Don Mattingly said it was not because of the ball Puig did not run out Tuesday, April 15, but rather because he has never faced San Francisco Giants SP Ryan Vogelsong. Share: Dodgers | Yasiel Puig out of lineup Wed, 16 Apr 2014 15:48:31 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers OF Yasiel Puig is sitting out Wednesday, April 16. Fantasy Tip: It appears to just be a routine off day for the outfielder. Share: Dodgers | Yasiel Puig receiving threats, civil lawsuits Wed, 16 Apr 2014 13:44:54 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers OF Yasiel Puig has received threats from the human traffickers who helped him defect from Cuba to Mexico in 2012, according to an ESPN The Magazine investigation. There is also a civil lawsuit filed against Puig that accuses him of wrongfully accusing a man of attempting to set up a defection. Fantasy Tip: Puig has been through a lot in order to defect Cuba and start a baseball career in the major leagues, which may explain some of his on- and off-the-field antics as a youngster. Share: Dodgers | Clayton Kershaw getting closer Wed, 16 Apr 2014 08:49:48 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers SP Clayton Kershaw (back) hit 85 mph with his fastball Tuesday, April 15, and he will attempt to mix in breaking pitches off flat ground Wednesday, April 16, and throw another bullpen session Thursday, April 17. Kershaw could embark on a minor league rehab assignment soon after that. "It feels like we're getting close, but I don't know for sure," Kershaw said. "We're trying to raise the ceiling a little bit every day." Fantasy Tip: The fact that Kershaw is throwing three straight days is great, but he's still a few weeks away from returning. He'll be a nice addition then when, hopefully, he's back to 100 percent. Share: Dodgers | Adrian Gonzalez extends to 10 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 07:08:42 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers 1B Adrian Gonzalez extended his hitting streak to 10 games Tuesday, April 15. Share: Dodgers | Brian Wilson activated Tue, 15 Apr 2014 18:14:44 -0700 The Los Angeles Dodgers activated RP Brian Wilson (elbow) from the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, April 15. Share: Dodgers | Paco Rodriguez optioned Tue, 15 Apr 2014 18:14:18 -0700 The Los Angeles Dodgers optioned RP Paco Rodriguez to Triple-A Albuquerque Tuesday, April 15. Share: Dodgers | Chad Billingsley has setback Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:08:53 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers SP Chad Billingsley (elbow) had his bullpen session cut short Tuesday, April 15, due to pain, and he's returning to Los Angeles for tests. Fantasy Tip: Setbacks are common for pitchers returning from Tommy John surgery, but it remains to be seen how serious this issue is. There's little hope that Billingsley will return to full form in 2013. Share: Dodgers | Clayton Kershaw update Tue, 15 Apr 2014 14:08:33 -0700 Los Angeles Dodgers SP Clayton Kershaw (back) tossed 26 pitches in a bullpen session Tuesday, April 15. He pitched from the stretch and the wind-up at nearly full speed.
