Joe Camporeale / USA TODAY Sports
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Scott Van Slyke is dealing with a mild back injury, Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles reports.
Analysis:
Van Slyke was bumped from the Dodgers' lineup Wednesday, marking his third time out of the order since Sunday. Saxon noted that Van Slyke's injury is minor, so he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's series opener against the Cardinals.
