A.J. Ellis finished 0-for-4 in the Dodgers' loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
Ellis is now batting .271/.381/.385 with two homers and nine RBI in 27 games. The on-base percentage is again fantastic, but he's a fringe option in mixed leagues.
May 9 - 10:53 AM
A.J. Ellis smashed a grand slam home run off Jason Vargas on Friday, leading the Dodgers to a 9-8 victory over the Angels.
He finished the evening 2-for-4 with those four RBI. Ellis has had a very impressive spring, hitting .356/.463/.489 with one homer and 9 RBI. He faded considerably in the second half of 2012, which could have been a result of adjusting to the increased workload of becoming the Dodgers' full-time catcher. Now that he knows what to expect, and in a much-improved lineup, Ellis could be primed for even better things in 2013.
Mar 30 - 1:43 AM
A.J. Ellis went 2-for-3 with a run scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.
Ellis is now hitting .393 (11-for-28) with a 7/7 K/BB ratio in 14 games this spring. While the 31-year-old backstop came back down to Earth a bit after his hot start last season, he has established himself as a useful option in NL-only and two-catcher mixed leagues.
Mar 21 - 7:03 PM
A.J. Ellis said he feels fully recovered from offseason knee surgery and has already been cleared to resume baseball activities.
Ellis is three months removed from a clean-up procedure on his left knee and expects to be ready for the start of spring training. He batted .270/.373/.414 with 13 home runs and 52 RBI in 133 games in his first full year as a starter and will be the Dodgers' regular catcher again in 2013.

Mark Ellis
D.L.
Mark Ellis was removed early from Friday's rehab game as a precautionary measure due to poor field conditions.
Ellis was supposed to play four innings and receive two at bats, but a rainy night at Double-A Chattanooga forced him out after only three innings and one at-bat. It's certainly encouraging news to hear that it wasn't an injury related setback that caused the early exit.

Hanley Ramirez
D.L.
Hanley Ramirez is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after an MRI confirmed the diagnosis of a left hamstring strain.
Ramirez was placed on the disabled list over the weekend after he injured his hamstring during Friday's game. While there was initially some hope that he would be able to return at the minimum, he'll now likely be sidelined until the early part of June. Dee Gordon should get most of the playing time at shortstop for now.

Jerry Hairston Jr.
D.L.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Friday that Jerry Hairston Jr. (knee, groin) had "a little bit of a setback."
Hairston was placed on the disabled list earlier this month with a left groin strain, but he's now dealing with a knee issue. The setback means that he won't be activated from the DL next week when first eligible. The Dodgers are expected to send him on a rehab assignment before he's deemed ready to return.

Josh Beckett
D.L.
Dodgers placed RHP Josh Beckett on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 14, with a left groin strain.
Manager Don Mattingly said after Beckett's start Monday that the groin ailment was minor, but the Dodgers will play it safe. He seems likely to be activated when eligible or shortly after. Matthew Magill seems likely to get a start in Beckett's place, and Ted Lilly (rib cage) could be ready next week.
May 15

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.

Ted Lilly
D.L.
Ted Lilly allowed four runs over five innings Wednesday in a rehab start at High-A Rancho Cucamonga.
Lilly wasn't exactly sharp, yielding five hits and three walks, but he felt no discomfort in his rib cage and is hoping to return to the Dodgers' rotation next week. The Dodgers were aggressive with Zack Greinke (clavicle) and might as well be aggressive with Lilly.

Stephen Fife
D.L.
Stephen Fife (shoulder) has resumed a throwing program.
Fife made a spot start with the Dodgers earlier this season, but has been sidelined since April 22. He'll likely be optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque when he's healthy enough to return.

Scott Elbert (elbow) is scheduled to make another rehab appearance Monday at High-A Rancho Cucamonga.
Elbert retired all three batters he faced, fanning two, Friday in his rehab debut. The left-handed reliever is on his way back from dual elbow surgeries and is expected to spend several weeks on the farm. He should be ready to join the Dodgers' bullpen around early June.

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.
