Uribe receives encouraging news: Dodgers third baseman Juan Uribe was cleared to resume baseball activities after an MRI exam on his sore left wrist revealed no serious damage, the Los Angeles Times reports. Uribe has been on the disabled list since last Monday. "I’m really happy," Uribe said. "I feel like it will go quick now." (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Uribe is eligible to be activated from the disabled list May 29 -- the same day as Dodgers slugging outfielder Matt Kemp -- and it appears he is on the right track. "We’re ready to move forward," manager Don Mattingly said. "He’s progressed to the point where he’ll start doing some baseball activities." Uribe had increased his batting average to .250 before the injury, but remains an NL-only Fantasy option when healthy. (Updated 05/21/2012).

05/09/2012 02:07 Vogelsong's outing paces Giants
Ryan Vogelsong's intense expression suggested he was locked in from his first pitch. Then he proved it with a season-high 7 1-3 innings of one-run ball.
The Dodgers signed Juan Uribe to a three-year deal last offseason with the hopes that he could bring the thump that he provided the Giants to L.A.'s lineup. His first season in Dodger Blue was a disaster, as he battled a sports hernia for much of the year and missed nearly the entire second half. When Uribe did play, he was sapped of his usual power. Unfortunately, when Uribe isn't hitting homers and driving in runs he has virtually no Fantasy value, as he does not hit for average, draw walks or steal bases. Uribe will enter the season as the Dodgers' starting third baseman, but he could be supplanted by free agent signee Jerry Hairston if he slumps or gets hurt. That makes Uribe strictly an option for owners in NL-only drafts. (Updated 2/9/12)
