AROUND THE MAJORS

The Dodgers rehired Joe Amalfitano, a longtime coach on Tom Lasorda’s staff, as a senior advisor in baseball operations.

Amalfitano, 67, will focus on player development and report to General Manager Dan Evans and Dave Wallace, senior vice president. Amalfitano and Wallace were coaches under Lasorda during Amalfitano’s first stint with the club from 1983-98.

For the last three years, Amalfitano served as a special assistant in player development for the San Francisco Giants.
