Manager Joe Torre hopes Garciaparra will begin a minor league rehabilitation assignment within the next week. "The only thing I told him was, with the news with Raffy, go play shortstop," Torre said. Garciaparra, a five-time All-Star at short (six total), hasn't played the position in three years. He has not played since April 26th because of an injured left calf muscle. |
The Dodgers plan to use Nomar Garciaparra at shortstop as Rafael Furcal is expected to miss another three weeks, according to The Los Angeles Times.
