The Los Angeles Dodgers look for their fourth straight win Monday night when they travel to Coors Field to battle the Colorado Rockies. The Dodgers will start Aaron Harang in the opener, against Juan Nicasio for Colorado.
Juan Rivera hasn't started since straining his left hamstring on Tuesday, and he is out of the lineup again on Monday night. On Sunday manager Don Mattingly said Rivera was close to returning to the field, but that the team was proceeding with caution.
"We feel like we're over the hump, but now I don't want to panic and do it a day early, and end up with him going backwards," Mattingly said.
Here are Monday's starting lineups:
Dodgers (16-6)
Gordon SS
Ellis 2B
Kemp CF
Ethier RF
Loney 1B
Uribe 3B
Gwynn LF
Ellis C
Harang P
Rockies (10-11)
Scutaro 2B
Herrera 3B
Gonzalez LF
Tulowitzki SS
Helton 1B
Hernandez C
Colvin RF
