In May, Roberts had stated he believed the Dodgers would win the division title again. However, with Roberts “reluctant” to put Yasiel Puig on the field the Dodgers may need to look elsewhere for help.

As for Kiké Hernández, who is continuing his rehab assignment, he had an interesting run in with an Uber driver.
Honestly, this Uber driver is making me feel like I'm at a job interview! ??

The Dodgers still have a long way to go before claiming the No. 1 spot in the NL West. With the day off the Dodgers can regroup before beginning their series vs. the Diamondbacks.
The Dodgers will play 9 of their next 12 games at Dodger Stadium hoping to make some much needed headway for top spot in the NL West.
