Van Slyke (back) isn't expected to return from the disabled list until at least June, Andy McCullough of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

Van Slyke hasn't been cleared to do any baseball activities since being placed on the 15-day DL back on April 12, so until he resumes working out again, it'll be difficult to speculate on a return date. Fortunately for the Dodgers, they're about as well-stocked as any squad in the league in outfield depth, so Van Slyke's ongoing absence shouldn't hurt the team, especially with Carl Crawford (back) recently returning from the DL.
