Juan Rivera got some really bad news. He got invited to the disabled list party, according to Dylan Hernandez of the L. A. Times, the prognosis doesn't look good either. Juan Rivera's hamstring is ruptured, Don Mattingly said. Could be a long-term injury. The Dodgers on Wednesday placed outfielder Juan Rivera on the 15-day disabled list with a ruptured hamstring, and recalled outfielder Scott Van Slyke from Triple-A Albuquerque. The Dodgers were hoping Van Slyke would arrive at Dodger Stadium before Wednesday’s game against the San Francisco Giants.“I felt something when I slid into third base,” Rivera said. Yeah, I am sure you did. Usually when you tear ligaments in your body, you feel it. All in all this isn't that much of a bad thing, as hopefully some time off will allow Rivera to get back on track, assuming he bounces back from this injury. Rivera was batting just .247/.276/.358 slugging percentages, after a hot start to the 2012 season, Rivera had...

Dodgers sign Miles to minor league contract

Via Fox Sports West  |  May 12, 2012
Aaron Miles is back. The 35-year-old utilityman signed a minor league contract with the Dodgers and is working out at their spring training facility in Arizona. Miles was a pleasant surprise for the Dodgers last season, when he made the team as a non-roster player. He was forced into a more prominent role than expected because of injuries to the likes of Rafael Furcal, Casey Blake...

Time for Jerry Sands to prove to the Dodgers he can still hit

Via Feelin' Kinda Blue  |  May 12, 2012
Jerry Sands Last year at around this time, Jerry Sands was a Dodger for nearly a month after a blazing start at Triple-A. Fast forward one year: Sands did not make the club out of Spring Training and has obviously been surpassed by the recently recalled Scott Van Slyke. Sands came up last season, gave Dodger fans some hope, struggled, was demoted and came back in...

Dodgers promote Tolleson, Bawcom, Eadington

Via Feelin' Kinda Blue  |  May 11, 2012
The Dodgers made a number of connected minor-league moves on Thursday -- all involving good relief prospects. Shawn Tolleson was promoted from Double-A Chattanooga to Triple-A Albuquerque. The Dodgers tend to not send their good pitching prospects to the launching pad that is the Pacific Coast League, but relievers are at less "risk" of being knocked around rather than...

Via Dodgers Rumors  |  May 11, 2012
Dodgers outfield prospect Alfredo Silverio, who was seriously injured in an off-season auto accident, underwent successful Tommy John surgery Wednesday and is out for the 2012 season.

The Dodgers officially placed super utility-man Jerry Hairston Jr. on the 15-day disabled list earlier today with a strained left hamstring.

It's a relief for Dodgers to get back home

Via Fox Sports West  |  May 11, 2012
The Dodgers had a rough trip last week, dropping four of six games in Colorado and Chicago, thanks in part to poor relief pitching. The bullpen on the six-game trip allowed 36 baserunners while recording only 43 outs, and had a 6.91 ERA for the week. But since returning home, Dodgers relievers have righted the ship. In three games against the Giants, the Dodgers' bullpen pitched...

The Dodgers have … signed Aaron Miles … why? The Dodgers have signed free-agent infielder Aaron Miles and asked for unconditional release waivers on right-handed reliever Mike MacDougal, who was designated for assignment last Thursday when Ronald Belisario was activated.

When Card Prices Skyrocket....

Via Plaschke, Thy Sweater Is Argyle  |  May 12, 2012
I posted recently about a Matt Kemp 2005 Bowman's Best Silver Parallel RC #'d /99 that I picked up for roughly 9 bucks during the offseason. I was really thrilled with the deal I got, and I knew it should have gone for more. What I didn't know, however, was just how good that deal would end up being, as I did not foresee the swift rise in the price of Kemp cards of all...
