Dodgers news...
Our boys in blue are in Tampa Bay to face the Rays for a two-game set. You can read the TBLA series scoop here.

Around the league...
Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes fractured his ankle and there is no timetable for his return.
Cespedes suffered a "violent fall" and twisted his right ankle in a hole, per GM Brodie Van Wagenen. He was not riding a horse, the GM said, but it was a non-baseball related activity. Van Wagenen did not elaborate further, and did not offer a timeline for Cespedes' recovery.

Phillies starter Jake Arrieta visited Wrigley Field for the first time in an away uniform. He received a standing ovation before he threw a marvelous game.
