A.J. Ellis is back in town after completing his rehab assignment but, no surprise, won’t be activated today.

Juan Uribe is available off the bench, but ideally might not play before Thursday’s off day just to be on the safe side.

Also, Hyun-Jin Ryu threw a 40-pitch bullpen session, his biggest step since going on the disabled list following his April 27 start.

  • In the video up top, Vin Scully tells a great story about Miami manager Mike Redmond going the full Marlin during batting practice.
  • Just how has Yasiel Puig become so much more disciplined at the plate? Jeff Sullivan provides the analysis at Fangraphs.

  • The entire Dodger outfield has a .952 OPS in May. Eric Stephen of True Blue L.A. delves into the stats.
  • Dee Gordon’s success partly comes from using the opposite field more. Alec Dopp illustrates at Gammons Daily.
  • Since April 23, Drew Butera has gone 9 for 33 with two doubles, two homers and four walks for an .865 OPS, raising his 2014 adjusted OPS to an even 100. The Dodgers are 10-4 when Butera starts.
  • Happy birthday to my special gal. The stats says she’s getting old, but the scouts aren’t seeing it.
