Adrian Gonzalez starting for Dodgers

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez (neck) started for L.A. on Monday against Washington after he was removed for precautionary reasons from Sunday's game in the seventh inning.  Gonzalez was removed Sunday in order to prevent aggravation of a neck injury and apparently it worked, though he's been taking it easy with his playing time since the issue arose.  Gonzalez, who said Sunday his neck is feeling better every day, was riding a nine-game hitting streak entering Monday. He's hitting .345 and says his neck is not an issue in the batter's box.

Scott Van Slyke has plenty to prove

CBSSports.com Fantasy — After feeling ostracized during the offseason when he was shed from the 40-man roster, Dodgers outfielder Scott Van Slyke is trying to earn the team's attention once again. He made a splash in his first start Sunday against Miami, finishing 2 for 4 with a solo homer as he patrolled first base in Adrian Gonzalez's absence. "I think I just wanted to prove to the Dodgers that I still had some value and I could help them win," Van Slyke, the organization's 2011 Minor League Player of the Year, told the Los Angeles Times. “I’m just trying to play the same baseball I have been for the past month." ...

Dodgers playing it safe with Adrian Gonzalez

CBSSports.com Fantasy — It's not every day first baseman Adrian Gonzalez leaves a game in the seventh inning. But with the Dodgers holding a six-run lead over Miami on Saturday night, he was removed as the team maintains a cautious approach with the veteran slugger in order to prevent aggravating his strained neck. "We don’t know what gets him," manager Don Mattingly told the Los Angeles Times. "There was that play when he went to his right on that roller and gets the lead guy, that stung him a little bit. Then a swing stung him, so we knew he was hurt and it was a good time to get him out of there." Gonzalez, who is...

Post-Game 34 Thread: Fish Eats Man

Sons of Steve Garvey — MARLINS 5, DODGERS 4 Adrian Gonzalez hit a three-run homer in the first inning, but Ronald Belisario is horrible, resulting in our eighth loss in a row. Dodgers go 2-for-8 with RISP; Andre Ethier and Nick Punto each went 0-for-4 (the latter of which at least contributed a run), and Dee Gordon threw in a 0-for-3 just for the hell of it. We try to go fishing again tomorrow. However, it's totally possible that the Marlins will leave Los Angeles with the same number of wins as the Dodgers currently have (13). So maybe that's why I'm feeling like Luca Brasi.

Gonzalez Neck, Dodger Fans Both Re-Aggravated Wednesday Night

Sons of Steve Garvey — Not Adrian Gonzalez, but it might as well be. Those of you who saw last night's game saw that Adrian Gonzalez, one of the few Dodgers with a potent bat this year, left the game early after straining his neck attempting to make a play that probably should have been made by someone else. His failed attempt to catch a foul ball between first and home caused Gonzalez to fall awkwardly, particularly given the pratfall was done right in front of a standing AJ Ellis (as well as near Clayton Kershaw): LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez was removed from Wednesday's 3-2 loss again...
