There were no new members of the club last season, the first time that has happened since 1986. Ryan Braun, Curtis Granderson, Jacoby Ellsbury and Ian Kinsler are all within range of the accomplishment. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp has already joined the club.

Ethier met with Mattingly and Colletti to clear the air in the wake of comments the outfielder made that seemed to imply he was being forced to play through a knee injury against his wishes. He later backtracked on those comments, saying he was the one whose decision it was to keep playing. Ethier will likely require offseason surgery. After reinserting Ethier into the lineup on Monday, Mattingly said that isn't a concern. "We're not going to do any damage to it," Mattingly said. "We're not taking a chance at tearing any ligaments."

Ethier has experienced gradually increasing discomfort over the past two years and will probably undergo minor surgery after the season. Before meeting with Dr. ElAttrache, Ethier sat down with manager Don Mattingly and general manager Ned Colletti to address comments the right fielder made in Sunday's editions of the Los Angeles Times. Ethier seemed to imply that Mattingly was playing him against his wishes despite the knee pain. "I got kind of blindsided by that (column)," Mattingly said. "To me, the way I read it was that Dre has been telling us he couldn't play and we said play anyway. That definitely isn't the case. For me, that is taking a shot at my integrity. Not just mine, but the organization, the training staff and Ned. "His knee has been banged up, there is no denying that. But with that, we check with him. 'Are you OK today?' There have been times when I will get him in the weight room after a game and say, 'I'm giving you the day off tomorrow,' and then he'll come into my office and say he wants to (play)."

Kemp reached the mark when he homered over the center-field wall off Rockies reliever Matt Reynolds in the seventh inning on Friday night at Dodger Stadium. He also became just the second player in Dodgers franchise history to do it, joining former outfielder Raul Mondesi, who went 30/30 in both 1997 and 1999. "This is something I worked hard for in the offseason," Kemp said. "Raul Mondesi was a great Dodger, and that is a big part of this. It's pretty special. To do it here at home, that makes it more special." Los Angeles Dodgers, Misc Rumor Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Dodgers Aug 2011 Archive
