Chris Capuano - S - Dodgers

Chris Capuano gave up six runs -- five earned -- in five innings Friday in a loss to the Cardinals.

Capuano turned in back-to-back strong outings before tonight's stinker against a fine St. Louis offense, so we'll let him off the hook. It wouldn't have mattered much if he had allowed only one or two runs anyway; the Dodger offense wasn't getting anything done in the shutout tonight.

Scott Elbert - R - Dodgers

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.

Hanley Ramirez - SS - Dodgers

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.

Jerry Hairston Jr. - 3B - Dodgers

Jerry Hairston Jr. (knee, groin) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday.

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.

Hanley Ramirez - SS - Dodgers

Hanley Ramirez said Friday that he feels he's ready to return to the Dodgers' lineup with his hamstring as is.

Ramirez said that he's been trying to come back, but that the Dodgers won't let him yet. He progressed to running in the outfield prior to Tuesday's game, and the team wants to take every precaution not to rush him back and risk re-injury. He was initially given a 4-6 week timetable for his return, and even the early end of that projection doesn't have him returning until early June.

Andre Ethier - OF - Dodgers

Andre Ethier is back in Friday's lineup against the Cardinals.

Ethier was benched Wednesday amid comments from Dodgers manager Don Mattingly that he was looking for the "most competitive lineup" and one that would "fight the hardest." While Either apparently didn't make the cut Wednesday, he's back in there now.

Ronald Belisario - R - Dodgers

Ronald Belisario sits on a 3.22 ERA through 23 appearances.

Belisario put up a nice 2.54 ERA while striking out nearly a batter per inning last season. He's punched out one less batter per nine innings in 2013 and his control hasn't been quite as sharp. Currently, Belisario is allowing the highest batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage of his career, but he has been slightly unlucky with balls in play,

Hyun-Jin Ryu - S - Dodgers

Hyun-Jin Ryu held the Brewers to two runs in 7 1/3 innings in the Dodgers' 9-2 victory Wednesday.

It's the seventh time in 10 big-league starts that Ryu has allowed two earned runs or fewer. It's curious that his strikeout rate has dipped of late -- he has just 14 K's in his past four starts combined -- but he has his ERA down to 3.30.

Scott Van Slyke - OF - Dodgers

Scott Van Slyke doubled twice and knocked in two runs while starting in place of the benched Andre Ethier on Wednesday.

It's rather bizarre that the Dodgers have talked about promoting Yasiel Puig or Joc Pederson when Van Slyke has three homers and now two doubles in five starts for the club. He's not a great long-term bet, but he's been on fire at the plate all year long.
May 22 - 4:49 PM
Ramon Hernandez - C - Dodgers

Making his first appearance in 15 days, Ramon Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a homer and two walks on Wednesday.

Manager Don Mattingly made it obvious he prefers Tim Federowicz to Hernandez as A.J. Ellis' backup, but with Federowicz back in Triple-A, he had no choice but to give Hernandez just his second start in May and sixth of the season. Hernandez came through in a big way, but we'll see if that makes any difference to Mattingly.
May 22 - 4:46 PM
Andre Ethier - OF - Dodgers

Andre Ethier is out of Wednesday's lineup, in part because Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he wanted to put out his "most competitive lineup" and one that would "fight the hardest."

Ouch. Ethier is only hitting .264 with four homers and a .758 OPS this season, but it's still unusual to see him sitting against a right-hander Wily Peralta. And in favor of Scott Van Slyke, no less. Either way, Mattingly sounds like someone who is feeling the pressure of his team's struggles. This could be the beginning of the end for him in Los Angeles.

Yasiel Puig - OF - Dodgers

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that the club has discussed calling up prospect outfielders Yasiel Puig and Joc Pederson.

Very interesting. However, while the Dodgers are struggling to score runs, it's hard to see a great fit for playing time as long as Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and Carl Crawford are healthy. Puig, 22, is batting .314/.385/.579 with six homers and a .964 OPS through 32 games this season with Double-A Chattanooga. Pederson has been even better, batting .327/.400/.554 with eight homers, 13 stolen bases and a .954 OPS.

A.J. Ellis - C - Dodgers

A.J. Ellis is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Brewers.

He'll get a breather with the early start time. Ramon Hernandez will start behind the plate.

Dee Gordon - SS - Dodgers

Dee Gordon is not in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

The slumping shortstop will sit in favor of Nick Punto. Gordon is batting just .167 since his promotion from Triple-A Albuquerque and is hitless over his last seven games.

Andre Ethier is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Brewers.

He'll get the day off against right-hander Wily Peralta. Scott Van Slyke will make the start in right field.
