Juan Rivera (hamstring) is scheduled to be reevaluated at some point next week. The Dodgers previously feared that Rivera could need surgery to repair a hamstring tendon rupture, but they are now optimistic that he'll be ready to return within the next couple of weeks. "He's really progressing well, and is on a best case scenario for us right now," said Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. Bobby Abreu will continue to get most of playing time in left field for now.
