Repko

Repko can pinch-run and play the field, but it may be a few days before he’s allowed to hit.

He sprained his left middle finger and thumb sliding headfirst into home plate on Tuesday, and should be available today.

Repko hadn’t played since Tuesday, when he sprained his left middle finger and thumb sliding into home plate. He should be fine going forward.

Repko has hit .225 with a 660 OPS against right-handers in his career, but since the Dodgers let Ricky Ledee and Jose Cruz Jr. go, it looks like Repko might serve as more than a platoon guy on occasion. The Dodgers could have handled their roster decisions better.

Repko will then slowly begin baseball activities. He likely won’t leave for a minor league rehab assignment for at least a month.

Repko aggravated the ankle injury and has swelling in the joint. He won’t begin a minor league rehab assignment for at least another month.

Repko will be eligible to return from a badly sprained ankle on July 9, but after his setback last week, it’s unclear what his chances are of being ready then.

Repko is still a month from returning to the Dodgers.

Repko was on crutches and wearing a foot cast on Friday. His absence leaves the Dodgers without a right-handed complement to Kenny Lofton in center field.

Repko could begin a minor league rehab assignment on July 1 and hopes to return to the Dodgers around the All-Star break.
