The team with the best record in baseball returns to the friendly confines of Chavez Ravine on Thursday after a winning road trip to Washington D.C. and Denver.
The first-place Los Angeles Dodgers will return to Dodger Stadium to host the San Diego Padres, St. Louis Cardinals, and Arizona Diamondbacks during a 10-game homestand to open the month of August.
The Dodgers will have two new additions to the roster when fans see them at Dodger Stadium over the next ten days.
Jedd Gyorko and Adam Kolarek were both acquired at the MLB Trade Deadline on Wednesday. Kolarek, a left-handed reliever who is lights out against left-handed hitters was added to the 25-man roster ahead of the Padres series on Thursday.
Gyorko is currently on the 60-day injured list, but Dodgers' manager Dave Roberts said that he should begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Tulsa later this week and could be back with the team by the end of the month.
There's just 50 games remaining in the season, so come out to the Ravine this weekend and next week to catch all the action.
