May 14 3B Nomar Garciaparra might not have a regular lineup spot waiting for him when he returns from the disabled list, manager Joe Torre acknowledged Wednesday. Blake DeWitt, the Dodgers' accidental third baseman, slammed his third home run Wednesday, and he entered the day leading all major league rookies with a .320 average. Torre said Garciaparra could step in at shortstop, his original position, if he returns from the DL before Rafael Furcal does. Yahoo! Sports


May 12 Garciaparra (calf) will take part in an early workout with the Dodgers on Tuesday before beginning his rehab assignment, the LA Times reports.

Recommendation: Garciaparra's rehab assignment, if he has one at all, will likely be short.
