Dodgers Nation Week In Review: February 9 — February 15

Yasiel PuigNews of the Los Angeles Dodgers signing a mystery player dominated the headlines early in the week after team president Stan Kasten stated a new player was expected to join the team. The question as to who Kasten was referring to was answered two days later when the Dodgers agreed to terms with Cuban shortstop Erisbel Arruebaruena.

An MRI on Yasiel Puig’s right shoulder revealed inflammation, which led to the 23-year-old having his throwing program scaled back with the bigger picture in mind. Puig dealt with bouts of inflammation in his throwing shoulder last season and the latest setback isn’t believed to be serious.

As Matt Kemp continues to work his way back from ankle surgery, he told Mark Saxon of ESPNLA.com that he doesn’t intend on being the Dodgers’ fourth outfielder.  Kemp has flashed MVP-like production, but has been saddled by injuries over the last two seasons.

On Friday, the Dodgers announced new measures for purchasing parking passes with an eye on alleviating heavy traffic that typically encompasses Dodger Stadium on gamedays.  The new process asks that fans pre-purchase parking prior to arriving at the stadium.  By doing so, general parking will remain at $10 ($15 at the gate) and preferred parking will be $35 ($50 at the gate).

Here are the biggest stories from the past week:
