The Los Angeles Dodgers have added 3B Brock Holt to their roster. He will become the starting 3B, as Opening Day starter Juan Uribe has missed 24 of the last 37 games with no date set to return from a hamstring injury (he's really old). The Dodgers' current starting lineup is:
C Caleb Joseph
1B Eric Campbell
2B Brian Roberts
3B Brock Holt
SS Brandon Hicks
OF Ender Inciarte
OF Kevin Kiermaier
OF Scott Van Slyke
Oh yeah, and Yasiel Puig. Yasiel Puig leads the Dodgers in all 6 offensive categories, due to a fantastic season so far (33 R, 11HR, 40 RBI, 6 SB, .335 AVG, and 1.021 OPS) and Brandon Hicks being the 2nd-best power hitter and run producer (8 HR, 25 R, and 21 RBI) on the team.
Clayton Kershaw has returned to form (36 K, 4 BB, 2.08 ERA in last 4 starts) for a pitching rotations that includes Jorge De La Rosa, Marco Estrada, Brandon Workman, and Rubby De La Rosa. The rotation has 17 wins so far this year, while the current bullpen has 14 wins (5 and 4 wins for Dan Otero and Daniel Webb respectively).
The Dodgers will remain a .500 team or worse due to consistent pitching and a lack of power hitting and run production from the lineup.

PEDERSON PULLED
Top outfield prospect Joc Pederson was pulled from a Triple-A game between Albuquerque and Salt Lake Bees on Tuesday, apparently for a lack of hustle, according to Examiner.com.
“That was just for a lack of effort running down the first-base line,” Albuquerque manager Damon Berryhill said of a groundout to second base in the sixth. “It’s just one of those things where it’s not acceptable. If you don’t give me the effort, you can come sit next to me on the bench.
“It’s one of those learning things that he’s going to have to go through.”
