Dee Gordon needs surgery on his right thumb and is expected to miss six weeks.
Tough break for the speedy shortstop, who suffered a dislocated thumb during Wednesday's game. Surgery will keep him sidelined through mid-to-late August. Luis Cruz, Elian Herrera and Jerry Hairston are the in-house options at shortstop, but the Dodgers could be in the market for some middle infield help leading up to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. The Dodgers plan to activate Javy Guerra (knee) to replace him on the active roster.
