SAN DIEGO -- Two days of designated hitting looms for the Dodgers this week in Texas, and Don Mattingly is a bit conflicted on how to take the most advantage of it.
Should he start the defensively-challenged Alex Guerrero there? Or should he simply rotate it between Adrian Gonzalez and Justin Turner, the Dodgers' two veterans most in need of days off.
Turner will not start today. Alberto Callaspo gets his seventh start at third base in what will be the Dodgers' 17th game since he was acquired from the Atlanta Braves.
In other news, Scott Van Slyke is scheduled to re-join the Dodgers on Wednesday, once they return from Texas.
