Dodgers’ James Loney, Matt Guerrier sit out with minor injuries
First baseman James Loney and relief pitcher Matt Guerrier were not scheduled to work out Tuesday due to minor injuries, Dodgers Manager Don Mattingly said.
Loney had tightness in one of his calf muscles and the Dodgers decided to “hold him out today and see what it looks like tomorrow,” Mattingly said. “He’s not going to play today.”
The Dodgers were set to host the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday at Camelback Ranch.
Mattingly replaced Loney with Jerry Sands at first base, and Scott Van Slyke was penciled into the lineup in left field in place of Sands.
Guerrier, meanwhile, “came in feeling a little something in his back,” Mattingly said.
“We’ll definitely be taking care of him for a few days, making sure this thing doesn’t get out of control,” Mattingly said. “We’d really like to keep it short term instead of trying to push him.”
