The Los Angeles Dodgers look to rebound from Monday's loss as they battle the Cincinnati Reds in the second game of a three-game series. A quartet of injured players return to the lineup tonight, as Joey Votto and Zack Cozart are back for the Reds, and Dee Gordon and Juan Uribe are starting for the Dodgers.
Uribe sprained his right ankle in Monday's game and left after the fifth inning. He was still sore after the game and was noticeably limping in the clubhouse. But apparently the swelling went down enough for Uribe to start on Tuesday. Gordon is back after not starting Monday with a leg cramp.
All-Star and MVP candidate Votto missed two straight games for the Reds with left knee inflammation, but he returns at first base for the Reds on Tuesday. Cozart was hit in the helmet and left Monday's game with a mild concussion, but he is back for Cincinnati on Tuesday, batting leadoff and playing shortstop.
