Van Slyke is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Marlins, David Vassegh of 570 AM Los Angeles reports.

Van Slyke is coming off back-to-back three-hit games, but manager Don Mattingly has opted to go with Alex Guerrero in left field and Justin Turner at third base against right-hander Jarred Cosart. While Van Slyke has been very good against right-handed pitching so far this season (15-for-39 with two homers), his opportunities will likely continue to be sporadic due to the Dodgers' outfield depth.

Van Slyke will start in left field and bat eighth Tuesday against the Marlins.

Manager Don Mattingly will reward Van Slyke for his walkoff shot Monday night with a second consecutive start in left field. Alex Guerrero is starting at third base Tuesday with Juan Uribe getting a night off, but Guerrero and Van Slyke figure to continue sharing time in left for the time being.

Van Slyke is starting in left field Saturday and will bat sixth.

Van Slyke will get the nod in left manned that spot in Friday's win over Colorado. He will face Colorado's Jorge De La Rosa on Saturday, whom he is yet to get a hit off of in 12 career at-bats.

Van Slyke is starting in left field and hitting seventh Wednesday against the Brewers.

The Brewers are tossing righty Wily Peralta so Van Slyke won't have the platoon advantage, but with Alex Guerrero really struggling of late it's no surprise to see Van Slyke in the lineup.

Van Slyke is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee.

Van Slyke and Alex Guerrero have alternated starts in left field so far in May (all against right-handers), with Carl Crawford on the DL with an oblique injury. It looks like that will continue at least until Yasiel Puig (hamstring) returns and pushes Andre Ethier out from right field. Van Slyke is 10-for-27 (.370 average) with five extra-base hits against right-handed pitching so far this season.

Van Slyke started for the ill Carl Crawford on Sunday and went 3-for-4 with a homer and two doubles in the win over the Rockies.

Van Slyke got the start against a right-hander Wednesday and went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Mariners.

Yes, SVS can hit right-handers as well. He doesn't figure to see much time against them this year, but with Yasiel Puig nursing a hamstring pull, Wednesday was an exception.

Van Slyke has had a solid spring (.317/.396/.537) and appears set to act as a backup outfielder again this season.

Van Slyke will play against most lefties, replacing either Carl Crawford or Joc Pederson in the lineup. It's tough to forecast more than 200 at-bats for Van Slyke this year unless injuries open things up.

Van Slyke seems likely to be in the lineup against most left-handers again in 2015, but with a still-crowded outfield situation, his playing time will continue to be sporadic.

Van Slyke batted a stellar .315/.415/.630 in 108 at-bats versus southpaws and an acceptable .279/.354/.413 against right-handers. Still, barring injuries, he's probably looking at a shade over 200 at-bats this year.

Van Slyke is back in the lineup batting fifth and playing left field Friday.

He missed two games to be with his wife as she gave birth to the couple's child, but he'll be back in against southpaw Vidal Nuno on Friday. Van Slyke is hitting .281 with eight home runs in 89 at-bats this season against lefties so he's a good play in daily leagues Friday.

Van Slyke's wife went into labor Wednesday evening and so he left midway through the game against the Nationals, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports.

It certainly wouldn't be surprising to see Van Slyke take a couple extra days away from the team to be with his family, so stay tuned for news on his availability for the remainder of the week.

Van Slyke (ankle) is back in the lineup Sunday against the Padres, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

X-rays on Van Slyke's right ankle were returned negative, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

With the diagnosis of a mild sprain confirmed, Van Slyke appears no worse than day-to-day after leaving Wednesday's contest in the fourth inning. Vam Slyke homered prior to exiting and is now batting a robust .277/.413/.663 with eight homers against left-handed pitching this season.

The Dodgers announced that Van Slyke left Wednesday's game with a mild right ankle sprain.

Van Slyke's injury did not look good, but nonetheless he was diagnosed with only a minor injury. He is listed as day-to-day and should get plenty of time to rest with the Dodgers not scheduled to face another left-handed starter until Sunday.

Van Slyke was removed from Wednesday's game in the fourth inning with a right ankle injury, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Van Slyke, who homered earlier in the game, rolled his ankle fielding a ball in left field. The extent of his injury is uncertain, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power. Carl Crawford took Van Slyke's place in left field.

Van Slyke will start in left field and bat fifth Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

This typically wouldn't be worth reporting, but Van Slyke is not only killing lefties this season (.272/.412/.630), he's absolutely abusing Miley, with three home runs, three doubles and two walks in just 11 plate appearances against the Diamondbacks' southpaw in 2014. This is definitely a prime opportunity to get Van Slyke in your daily league lineups.

Scott Van Slyke went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer Friday against the Rockies.

Van Slyke hit his first six home runs this season off southpaws, but each of his last two homers have been against right-handers. Still, we like him best in fantasy leagues in matchups against left-handed starters. It's worth noting that the Rockies will start Jorge De La Rosa and Yohan Flande in the next two games.
