Juan Uribe visit a Los Angeles specialist Monday or Tuesday to determine whether his strained left hip might actually be a more debilitating injury. Dodgers trainer Stan Conte thinks Uribe could have a sports hernia or a strained abdominal muscle, though he noted that two previous MRIs did not reveal any strain. "At some point, you need an explanation," Conte said. "We think he should be ready [to play] based on the timetable, but if you have the wrong timetable, then it explains some things." Conte added that he expects Uribe to return this season, though the infielder could wind up needing surgery if rest doesn't work.
