Dodgers open 'second half' with first-place showdown against Nationals

The Dodgers have been a busy team with several transactions so far in 2015, and with the trading deadline just two weeks away plus a few ailing position players nearing readiness the major league team could look even more different by the time the calendar turns to August. But for now, for this weekend what we see is what we get, with the first-place Dodgers meeting the first-place Nationals in a three-game series in Washington D.C.

So far this season the Dodgers have made 109 player moves (counting only players on the 40-man roster; for instance, optioning Eric Surkamp to Triple-A and recalling Ian Thomas on July 5 counts as two player moves), and have had 60 different people occupy a spot on the 40-man roster (or its adjoining 60-day disabled list).
