Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts had several regulars in Friday’s lineup against the Kansas City Royals, but a majority of them were expected to have an early day and return home for a day off before the exhibition Freeway Series begins.
Yasiel Puig, Kiké Hernandez and Corey Seager were among those to take advantage of their limited opportunities. Puig hit his second home run in as many games, and later added an RBI single as part of a seven-run third inning for the Dodgers.
However, the outlook was not quite as optimistic for Logan Forsythe. He fouled a pitch off his left leg and went down in pain.
