The first four players have gone wire-to-wire as regular starters in the infield, except for Utley, who is routinely replaced by Kendrick against left-handed starters. Culberson is the only uncertain pick here, as Enrique Hernandez could also give the team that much-needed right-handed bat in a utility role.
Hernandez has seen plenty of time against left-handed starters this season and is a possibility, especially considering he can also play the outfield, unlike Culberson. Leaving Hernandez off the roster would leave the Dodgers without an easy answer in center field against Gio Gonzalez.
