With the arrival of second baseman Logan Forsythe, the composition of Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts’ lineup has started to take shape.
Roberts already intended to use shortstop Corey Seager, third baseman Justin Turner and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez in the middle of his order. Forsythe, who was acquired from Tampa Bay in exchange for pitching prospect Jose De Leon, likely will be the leadoff hitter.
“I see him at the top of the lineup,” Roberts said Wednesday after an appearance before the Los Angeles City Council, where he received a commendation for winning the 2016 National League Manager of the Year Award.
