D’Backs @ Dodgers June 9, 2015: You Probably Hate This Lineup

Look at that lineup. Just bask in it. Breathe it all on in. Rage at it.

	D’Backs			Dodgers
	7:10 p.m.			Los Angeles
CF	Inciarte		CF	Heisey
3B	Lamb		RF	Puig
1B	Goldschmidt		1B	Gonzalez
RF	Tomas		2B	Kendrick
LF	Peralta		LF	Guerrero
C	Salalamacchia		C	Grandal
SS	Ahmed		SS	Hernandez
P	Ray (L)		3B	Callaspo
SS	Pennington		P	Frias (R)

Then, realize, that it all — well, not all, but mostly — makes more sense than it seems. Why is Chris Heisey playing center?

Din Mattingly said he's just giving Joc Pederson a day off (from starting). Looked a little "worn down". Has started 22 straight games

Okay, fair enough. How about Alberto Callaspo at third?

Justin Turner won't participate in #Dodgers pregame warmups. Receiving treatment after leaving last night's game w/injury.

Makes sense. Enrique Hernandez at short? No tweet for that one, but giving Jimmy Rollins a day off against a lefty isn’t hard to justify. Now, as for “why is Heisey leading off,” well, I imagine that Don Mattingly didn’t want to move everyone else around just to compensate. Can’t say I love that idea; then again, can’t say it matters all that much.

What else? Lots of rehab news:

Rehab status:
Brandon League: Rancho tomorrow
Joel Peralta: Rancho Thurs
Brandon Beachy: Camelback Ranch Thurs
SVS: Rancho, probably soon.

We haven’t really talked about Brandon League in a while, but it’ll be interesting to see how and if he fits back in. (Yes, if; he’s got to show enough in his rehab outings to prove he’s not best served just being DFA’d.) Scott Van Slyke probably comes back on Monday, so roster moves are coming. As they always are.

Oh, and there’s this:

Hector Olivera went 3-for-3 with a grand slam for Tulsa today. #Dodgers

That’s fun.
