In order for the Dodgers to make a run at claiming first place from the D-backs this weekend -- they are 1 1/2 games out -- they will have to score runs against the Giants for Friday's starter, Derek Lowe.
Chad Billingsley allowed no earned runs in eight innings, striking out five and walking one in a 5-2 victory over the Astros on Thursday. James Loney had a home run and two RBIs, Andre Ethier homered and Blake DeWitt had a two-run single.
Dodgers second baseman Jeff Kent left Thursday's game against the Astros in the fifth inning with lower back stiffness.
Disabled shortstop Rafael Furcal underwent microdiscectomy surgery on his lower back on Thursday morning. The 75-minute operation was performed by Dr. Robert Watkins at Marina del Rey Hospital, and club officials said it went as planned without complications.
Recent injuries to Dodgers starters, including Rafael Furcal, have partially prompted the accelerated recoveries of Nomar Garciaparra (torn left calf) and Andruw Jones (right knee surgery), both of whom will join the big league roster on Friday.
The numbers, 4-for-31, looked worse than the performance for Andre Ethier, who has been hitting in tough luck for a month (.195 in June). But with Rafael Furcal facing back surgery on Thursday, Ethier knows this is the time for all good Dodgers to step up and win an open National League West.
Injured Dodgers shortstop Rafael Furcal waved the white flag Wednesday when it was announced he would undergo surgery Thursday for a bulging disc.
Hiroki Kuroda returned from the disabled list by scattering five hits over seven scoreless innings and Jeff Kent had a pair of RBI doubles as the Dodgers beat the Astros, 4-1, Wednesday night.
Dodgers bullpen coach Ken Howell had a portion of an infected third toe on his right foot amputated this week and he is expected to be released from County-USC Medical Center by Friday.
To make room for the activation of Hiroki Kuroda off the disabled list to start Wednesday night, the Dodgers demoted to the Minor Leagues 20-year-old rookie Clayton Kershaw, who didn't see it coming.
The Los Angeles Dodgers today optioned left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw to Double-A Jacksonville and reinstated right-handed pitcher Hiroki Kuroda from the 15-day disabled list.
Although Rafael Furcal cut short his Minor League rehabilitation stint on Tuesday, the Dodgers may have a veteran shortstop returning soon.
Dodgers manager Joe Torre's excitement about the anticipated return of right-hander Hiroki Kuroda to the starting rotation on Wednesday was tempered Tuesday night by the sobering news of another Rafael Furcal setback.
After letting a five-run lead and rookie Clayton Kershaw's first Major League victory get away Tuesday night, the Dodgers beat the Astros, 7-6, on Jeff Kent's 11th inning home run off former Dodgers farmhand Wesley Wright.
One game into his injury rehabilitation at Triple-A Las Vegas, Rafael Furcal was sent back to Los Angeles for a medical evaluation after experiencing discomfort in his lower back when he awoke on Tuesday.
Although the news on Rafael Furcal isn't great, with Hiroki Kuroda expected off the disabled list to start Wednesday night, and key position players Andruw Jones and Nomar Garciaparra emerging from their first rehab game unscathed according to manager Joe Torre, the depleted Dodgers received further good news Tuesday from Brad Penny.
Manager Joe Torre picked Matt Kemp from his depleted roster to lead off on Tuesday because, well, the other options weren't very enticing.
All three injured Dodgers came away feeling good after a rehab start in Las Vegas on Monday night. Andruw Jones hit a homer, Rafael Furcal and Nomar Garciaparra played four innings in the field, with Furcal hitting an RBI double.
Jones plates six for Las Vegas
Though Dodgers manager Joe Torre has mellowed in regards to the news of his club's mounting injuries, the skipper is looking forward to the return of several of his starting players in the coming days and weeks.
The Dodgers returned to National League Play on Monday night, but they couldn't shake their offensive doldrums as they lost to the Astros, 4-1.
Outfielder Juan Pierre was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday with a sprained medical collateral ligament in his left knee and was replaced on the Dodgers roster by Jason Repko, who was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Outfielder Jason Repko was expected to be activated for Monday night's game against the Astros, although the player he will replace on the Dodgers roster was still to be determined.
In-stadium voting for the All-Star Game has concluded, but Dodgers fans can still help send their favorite players to the Midsummer Classic by voting for them online at Dodgers.com and MLB.com.
After facing American League teams in four of their last five series, the Dodgers will return to National League opposition Monday in Houston. Even after taking two of three from the Angels this weekend, the Dodgers won just five of 15 games during Interleague Play this season. That's no different from prior years as the Dodgers have compiled a 20-43 Interleague record the past four years.
