Dave Roberts to Be Away From Dodgers During Crucial Padres Series

While the Dodgers look to take game two of the series against the Padres in San Diego they’ll do so without their skipper. At least for one game. Manager Dave Roberts will be away from the team as he attends his son Cole’s college graduation.

Bench coach Danny Lehmann will act as the manager for the night. And, presumably, Bob Geren as his bench coach.



Dustin May will get the ball against left-hander Blake Snell on Saturday with a tested bullpen ready to fire after having to cover 4+ innings on Friday night.

  1. I’m starting to think Kershaw might be better pitching every 6 days instead of 5. And pushing Thor to 6 days keeps him from pitching as much!

  2. Best thing that could happen to team.. they might have a fighting chance with this game.. with him away,,lets all home it is 2 games

  3. Soooooo, what’s going on with Nelson now? He went OKC to finish up his rehab, but … Hasn’t pitched there yet?…. Now he’s at the Dodgers AZ facility? Why!?
    I like Nelson. He has a great upside
