Rekrutierungen » The Los Angeles Dodgers are hoping that a well-rested

Left-hander Caleb Ferguson will make his third career start Nick Bosa Jersey , pitching opposite Giants right-hander Chris Stratton, but it will be his first outing where he will get a minute to catch his breath and ease into his surroundings.

Before his major league debut on June 6, and his follow-up effort Tuesday, Ferguson had to scramble to catch a flight and then take the mound for the Dodgers. This time around, Ferguson has done all of his between-start routine with the major league club, and even got a bonus assignment this week.

Ferguson was able to get an up-close-and-personal look at Clayton Kershaw’s most recent rehab bullpen session. It was a multi-pronged effort to not only let Ferguson watch a pitcher he looks up to, but to get an in-depth view at one of the hardest workers in the game.

“Even for Caleb to sit in on Clayton’s pen (Friday) and to sit in on Rich (Hill’s on Saturday) and not have to fly in make a start then fly out and come back in, he will get to assimilate with our guys L.J. Collier Jersey ,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I think there is a benefit to that.”

Ferguson (0-0, 9.53) lasted just 1 2/3 innings of his debut at Pittsburgh and then went four innings Tuesday against the Rangers. He has given up a combined six runs, but the Dodgers offense has scored a combined 21 runs in his two outings so at least he is getting elite run support.

Stratton (7-4, 4.56) has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last four starts, but he is facing a Dodgers lineup that has hit 34 home runs in June alone. The right-hander will have to face a trio of left-handed hitters in Max Muncy, Cody Bellinger and Joc Pederson who have been productive of late.

He figures to be up for the challenge after guiding the Giants to a 10-4 record in his starts this season. In his outing Tuesday at Miami, Stratton was just the second Giants pitcher since May 6 to last at least seven innings, but he still took the loss in a 3-1 defeat. It was his sixth quality start of the season.

The Giants are currently 3-6 on a three-city road trip that ends Sunday. And while a return home is ahead http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-marquise-blair-jersey , better health could be coming soon, although third baseman Evan Longoria figures to be out at least a month with a fractured left hand.

First baseman Brandon Belt was activated Saturday, while pitchers Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija could be back soon.

“Our biggest issue has been trying to stay healthy,” manager Bruce Bochy said, according to mlb.com.

Madison Bumgarner made his third start since coming off the disabled list Saturday and allowed three runs on five hits in six innings of a 3-1 loss. It marked the 11th straight time in Los Angeles the Giants scored two runs or less, according to STATS Inc.

Matt Kemp and Enrique Hernandez homered for the Dodgers — who will go for the series sweep on Sunday — while Alex Wood allowed a run on four hits in 5 2/3 innings.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco rookie Dre Greenlaw enters the NFL with a little more fanfare than most fifth-round linebackers.His role as a good Samaritan to save a high school classmate from a potential date rape encounter at a college fraternity party was publicized on social media by the woman’s father shortly after he was drafted by the 49ers last Saturday.“My daughter went to a college party when she was freshman,” Gerry Daly said on Twitter. “She knew very few people at the party T.J. Hockenson Jersey , and also didn’t have a ton of experience drinking. Someone slipped something into her drink when she wasn’t paying attention.“Dre was also a freshman. And he knew my daughter from high school. And he did not know the guy who was all over her. And when that guy tried to steer my daughter out the front door, he stopped the guy and said ‘she’s not going anywhere.'”Daly said he didn’t publicize the story earlier because he didn’t want anyone to criticize Greenlaw for being at a keg party when he was underage, but did so after Greenlaw was drafted, saying he will always owe Greenlaw for protecting his daughter.Greenlaw said Daly’s daughter, Megan, called him a couple of days after her father tweeted his thanks and that jogged his memory of the details of the incident that happened his freshman year at Arkansas.“I wasn’t doing it for attention,” Greenlaw said. “I did it because I did it. The whole four years went by and I didn’t think about it much. I think I saw her one time after that and she thanked me again. This is somebody’s daughter. I understand why someone would be so appreciative of it.”Greenlaw is used to getting attention for off-field stories instead of the play that made him an NFL draft pick. Greenlaw was an orphan as a child and spent six years in the foster care system before moving in with the family of one of his high school assistant coaches, Brian Early.Greenlaw became part of that family and was officially adopted last year Jahlani Tavai Jersey , shortly after turning 21.Greenlaw said it was frustrating at first to always be asked about his family situation instead of football but he knows it can provide inspiration to others from a similar background.“I look back on it and it’s a story that not a lot of people went through and that they made it out of,” he said. “There’s a lot of kids in foster homes that may not have gotten the same opportunity. If they hear someone’s story and they see someone who has been through something similar to them, maybe they get the hope that they can do it, too.”Now Greenlaw wants to begin the process of becoming known for his on-field play. He said he barely slept since getting drafted and arrived at the airport more than three hours early Thursday before flying to the Bay Area for rookie minicamp.Greenlaw was drafted 148th overall by San Francisco, falling down draft boards in part because he ran a slow 40-yard dash on an injured hamstring before the draft.But the Niners were impressed with his speed on game tape at Arkansas and Greenlaw wants to make the teams that passed him regret their decision.“All my life I’ve been doubted,” he said. “Just going through what I’ve been through, a lot of people wouldn’t think I’d be where I’m standing. At a lot of points in my life, if I had a phone Will Harris Jersey , I wouldn’t have had two numbers to put in it. I was an orphan and I went years without talking to my brothers and sisters. I have 12. I’m protective. That’s the hardest thing for me, being away from them.”
