In case you missed the bad news out of Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers' lead off hitter, Andrew Toles, suffered a torn ACL and is scheduled for possible season-ending surgery in two weeks. Last night, while trying to preserve Julio Urias' no-hitter, Toles lunged at a fly ball and slammed his leg against

Monday night’s Pirates/Dodgers match-up was kismit in the making. Before the game I wrote this article because we weren’t sure if scheduled starter Brandon McCarthy was going to be able to start after we discovered that he suffered a dislocated non-pitching shoulder injury over training in the weight room.

The Dodgers (and Adrian Gonzalez) read the writing on the clubhouse walls - and they must have read the writing here on LADR as well. Gonzalez signed himself onto the disabled list this morning, completing the one for one roster trade-off as Joc Pederson came back to the club after
