When the Dodgers take the field on Monday afternoon, they will have played 31 spring training games with seven games remaining. Since their very first game on February 25, all but eight of the 22 non-roster invitees to major league camp have been reassigned to minor league camp. Of those remaining eight, only one is […]

Fans of Andre Ethier and Dodger fans in general collectively held their breath on Saturday while awaiting word on how the soon-to-be 35 year-old veteran outfielder’s meeting with noted back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins went.
