SAN FRANCISCO -- Injuries suffered Saturday by Scott Van Slyke and Chris Hatcher appear to be minor, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday.
Van Slyke, removed in the third inning with lower back stiffness, was available to pinch-hit Sunday and is not expected to be placed on the disabled list, said Roberts, who has already lost left fielders Andre Ethier (broken leg) and Carl Crawford (lower back pain).
Van Slyke was replaced in Sunday's lineup in left field by Trayce Thompson, so with Monday's scheduled off-day, Van Slyke will get two days off.
