This is probably old news by now, but Andruw Jones and Nomar Garciaparra will be activated for the start of the San Francisco series today. Jones has been out since May 27 for right knee surgery, and Nomar since April 26 with a torn left calf muscle.
The Dodgers played well in Houston, something they really needed, but their offense is still one of the worst in the Majors. A big part of that at the start of the year was the horrendous play of Jones, who currently has a .165 AVG, 2 HR, 7 RBI. Um... yuck. Nomar has only played in 9 games and didn't do much, with a .226 AVG, 1 HR, 5 RBI.
Even with some poor numbers, the Dodgers need to at least see what they can add. It's not like they guys in their places have seized the opportunity and made things happen. Actually, the opposite has happened. I remember when Jones went out, I can hardly think of anyone that thought they'd miss his bat. Now, they're willing to see if he has figured out what went wrong to start the year.
Both showed signs of encouragement, as Jones went 4-8 with a homer and Nomar 5-8 in their 3 games at Triple-A Las Vegas.
