Dodgers Credits: Ethier and Puig Status Updates, New Outfielder, and More!

The Dodgers dropped the first game of the series against the Diamondbacks on Monday falling just short at 3-2. The offense just could not back up Bolsinger who had a fairly decent start, even with a nice home run from Corey Seager (His 15th on the year). They will look to Kenta Maeda and Clayton Kershaw to dig us out of this 3-game losing streak before they come back to Dodger Stadium on Thursday to face the Milwaukee Brewers.

But of course, there is never no news in Dodgersville! Just today it was announced that the club optioned Austin Barnes and signed Will Venable, probably looking for an offensive spark.
