When asked prior to Tuesday's game who his closer is, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly replied, "I don't know. We'll see."
Kenley Jansen seemed to be close to overtaking Brandon League for the job, but he then allowed two runs in back-to-back games over the weekend. Mattingly indicated that he'd like to use League in the role, saying he'd "really like to see the bullpen get its confidence back and some semblance of order and get the guys in the roles we designed." Jansen has out-pitched League all season until the last few days and is probably the favorite for the job over the long run. The situation is a headache for fantasy owners.
May 21 - 9:59 PM

Dodgers.mlb.com
Brandon League got the call in the ninth on Wednesday in a 3-1 game against the Nationals and pitched a scoreless inning for his ninth save.
After Kenley Jansen got four outs to set him up, League allowed a leadoff single in the ninth and then got three straight groundouts to end the game. He's now 9-for-10 in save opportunities this season. Manager Don Mattingly still might go to Jansen when the starting pitcher goes eight, though.
May 16 - 1:31 AM
Even though the Dodgers were up 2-0 after eight, Brandon League was bypassed in Tuesday's game, never even warming up in the bullpen.
The Dodgers had Kenley Jansen and Paco Rodriguez up in the ninth and went to Jansen after Adam LaRoche's two-out single knocked Clayton Kershaw from the game. Of course, this comes a day after Don Mattingly said League remains his closer. And League, for all of his recent troubles, is still 8-for-9 saving games this year. It's hard to blame Mattingly for having more faith in Jansen at the moment, but if that was the case, he shouldn't have opened his gob and said it was still League's job. Perhaps it still is, but Mattingly may wait for an easier chance to use him again.
May 15 - 12:46 AM
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Brandon League is still the team's closer "for now."
League has blown just one save in nine tries, but he's been scored upon in six of his last seven outings, pushing his ERA up to an ugly 6.28. Kenley Jansen, meanwhile, has put up a 2.29 ERA and boasts a 27/5 K/BB ratio over 19 2/3 innings. It's probably only a matter of time before he usurps the ninth inning role from League.

Hanley Ramirez
D.L.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly indicated Friday that Hanley Ramirez (hamstring) will probably need 4-5 rehab games before returning to the lineup.
Ramirez said earlier in the day that he felt he was ready to return with his hamstring as is, but the organization is opting to play it safe and not rush the oft-injured shortstop back to the lineup. Look for him to return to the lineup in early June.

Luis Cruz is nursing a sore throwing elbow.
He could be placed on the disabled list, as Mark Ellis (quad) is ready to be activated. Cruz is hitting a pathetic .096/.118/.096 this season and has seen his playing time dwindle of late.

Hairston originally landed on the disabled list with a left groin strain earlier this month, but then had a setback when he tweaked his knee. Barring any setbacks, he should be able to rejoin the Dodgers before the end of the month.

Josh Beckett (groin) threw on flat ground prior to Tuesday's game.
He did so without discomfort, something he was unable to do over the weekend. Beckett will throw off the mound soon before testing out his groin by running. The Dodgers haven't set a timetable for his return, but early June seems likely if all goes well.

Chad Billingsley
D.L.
Dodgers transferred RHP Chad Billingsley from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
The move clears a spot for Scott Van Slyke on the 40-man roster. Billingsley had season-ending Tommy John surgery last month and will likely miss the early part of 2014.

Scott Elbert (elbow) will pitch in minor league rehab games on Saturday and Sunday, where he'll likely face one hitter each game.
If all goes well with those two outings, he's expected to be activated from the disabled list and return to the Dodgers' bullpen next week. The 27-year-old lefty posted a 2.20 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 29/13 K/BB ratio in 32 2/3 innings for the Dodgers in 2012 and will give them another solid option in the middle innings.

Shawn Tolleson
D.L.
Shawn Tolleson is scheduled to undergo surgery on his injured lower back on Thursday afternoon.
Tolleson was placed on the disabled list April 15 with a lower back strain and now needs surgery to repair the injury. He is expected to be sidelined for 3-5 months and could feasibly miss the rest of the season.
