Home opener live: Dodgers fall to Diamondbacks, 4-2, in home opener

The Dodgers plan to reshape their 25-man roster before Tuesday's home opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks, with catcher Yasmani Grandal and second baseman Howie Kendrick set to leave the disabled list.

Grandal (forearm strain) finished a rehab stint with triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, and Kendrick (calf tightness) completed his assignment with class-A Rancho Cucamonga.

To clear space on the roster, the Dodgers must sift through the value of bench players like catcher Austin Barnes, infielder Charlie Culberson and recent call-up Micah Johnson. In addition, the team will reevaluate the tight back of outfielder Scott Van Slyke, who left Saturday's game early and sat out Sunday.
