The Dodgers hired Ron Roenicke as their third base coach Monday to replace Lorenzo Bundy, who will remain on the bench with the title of “outfield coordinator.”
That gives the Dodgers seven uniformed coaches on the bench in addition to manager Don Mattingly, one above the major league maximum. To accommodate Roenicke, assistant hitting coach John Valentin will not be on the bench during games.
Roenicke managed the Brewers to a 342-331 record from 2011-15 before he was fired in May. He played parts of three seasons with the Dodgers (1981-83) over an eight-year career.
Before he was named the Brewers’ skipper prior to the 2011 season, Roenicke served as the Angels’ third base (2000-05) and bench coach (2006-10).
