Tony Abreu's last major league game was September 23, 2007. Abreu, recalled from Albuquerque today, hopes to join Jeff Weaver, Eric Milton, and Jason Schmidt in the "2009 Dodgers that didn't play in MLB in 2008, but did in 2007" club.
Chipper Jones was a late scratch, thanks to a strained left oblique, suffered during batting practice, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Kelly Johnson is now in the lineup, playing second base, and Martin Prado moves to third base.
