Hanley Ramirez - SS - Dodgers

Hanley Ramirez will serve as the designated hitter in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

This will give Ramirez's hamstring a bit of a rest. Nick Punto will make the start at shortstop.

Matt Kemp - OF - Dodgers

Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said on SiriusXM's MLB Network Radio on Tuesday that Matt Kemp (hamstring) is currently running at "75 percent without pain."

Kemp is making progress, but there's no timetable for him to begin a rehab assignment. The Dodgers have already ruled out his return until at least June 24, but it sounds like it will come later than that.

Clayton Kershaw - S - Dodgers

Clayton Kershaw is upset that information about his extension talks with the Dodgers leaked to the press.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported late Saturday night that Los Angeles is progressing toward a seven-year contract worth more than $180 million with its ace, and now Kershaw feels like the negotiations might become too much of a distraction. "I guess you’ll have to talk to the Dodgers as to why it came out," said the 25-year-old left-hander, who can become a free agent after the 2014 season. "I don’t love the fact that I have to talk about it. We kind of had an agreement that we weren’t going to talk about it. It didn’t come from our side."

Ronald Belisario - R - Dodgers

Ronald Belisario threw a scoreless inning of relief Sunday in the Dodgers' loss to the Pirates.

Belisario served his one-game suspension on Friday for his involvement in last Tuesday night's benches-clearing brawl with the Diamondbacks. The 30-year-old righty has a 4.78 ERA in 32 total frames this season.

Juan Uribe - 3B - Dodgers

Juan Uribe was scratched from Sunday's lineup with tightness in his back.

It's precautionary, as Uribe is available off the bench. He should be fine to start in a day or two.

Yasiel Puig - OF - Dodgers

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Yasiel Puig will probably remain in the majors after Matt Kemp (hamstring) and Carl Crawford (hamstring) return.

It's certainly no surprise that's the stance he's taking given that Puig is batting .455/.478/.773 with four homers and 10 RBI in his first 12 games. Mattingly believes there will be enough at-bats to go around when all four outfielders are healthy. Puig would figure to play every day against left-handers and also see significant at-bats against righties, most likely at the expense of the struggling Andre Ethier.

Hanley Ramirez - SS - Dodgers

Hanley Ramirez is not in the Dodgers' lineup Sunday.

It's just a day off for the shortstop. Ramirez has one hit in nine at-bats over the last two days since returning to the lineup. Luis Cruz is starting at shortstop Sunday.

Clayton Kershaw - S - Dodgers

The Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw are making progress on a seven-year extension worth more than $180 million, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

None of this is really all that surprising, as there's no reason the deep-pocketed Dodgers wouldn't want to lock up their 25-year-old ace. And he would certainly command that sort of money (or something close to it) right now on the open market. The left-hander has a 1.84 ERA and 0.97 WHIP this year. The extension, if it exceeds $180 million over seven years, would have a higher average annual value than recent deals of similar length signed by Justin Verlander and Felix Hernandez.

Brandon League - R - Dodgers

Brandon League pitched a scoreless 11th inning to collect his 14th save of the season Saturday in the Dodgers' 5-3 win over the Pirates.

League allowed two hits and was the victim of some poor defense but he got the job done after Kenley Jansen blew a save chance in the bottom of the ninth. League still has an ugly 5.54 season ERA but will be ready to reclaim closer duties if Jansen has another rough outing or two. League should be stashed in most standard fantasy leagues.

Kenley Jansen - R - Dodgers

Kenley Jansen blew his second save of the season on Saturday evening against the Pirates.

Jansen entered the game with the Dodgers up 3-2 and promptly ruined that lead in ugly fashion. Brandon League then came on in the bottom of the 11th to secure his 14th save and the Dodgers' 29th win. Jansen is the most talented pitcher in the Los Angeles bullpen and remains the team's closer, but League could certainly win the job back if the rough outings for Jansen begin multiplying.

Clayton Kershaw - S - Dodgers

Clayton Kershaw limited the Pirates to one run over seven innings Saturday in a no-decision.

Kershaw struck out eight batters and allowed just three hits but Kenley Jansen blew a save in the ninth inning, costing the ace left-hander his sixth win. Kershaw owns a 5-4 record, 1.84 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 104/31 K/BB ratio in 107 1/3 innings this season. He has gone at least seven frames in 12 of his 15 starts in 2013.

John Baker - C - Dodgers

Dodgers claimed C John Baker off waivers from the Padres; optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Baker was designated for assignment by San Diego earlier this week after opening the season with an ugly .150/.261/.150 batting line. He'll serve as depth for LA.
Jun 15 - 5:14 PM
J.P. Howell - R - Dodgers

J.P. Howell has dropped the appeal of his two-game suspension.

Howell will be eligible to return Monday. He was one of four players to receive a multi-game suspension for his role during Tuesday's brawl with the Diamondbacks.

Chris Capuano - S - Dodgers

Chris Capuano (lat) threw four scoreless innings in his first rehab start Friday with Triple-A Albuquerque.

He allowed one hit, no walks, and had five strikeouts. Capuano, currently on the DL with a left lat strain, is expected to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation on June 19 against the Yankees.
