Juan Uribe is in the starting lineup Tuesday for the first time since July 22.
Uribe figures to get mixed in at third base more often now that Jerry Hairston, Jr. is on the disabled list with a hip injury. Still, he's unlikely to help much in fantasy leagues. The 33-year-old is batting just .191/.248/.289 with two home runs, 17 RBI and a .538 OPS in 57 games played this year.

Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times writes that Juan Uribe's roster spot with the Dodgers could soon be in jeopardy.
Uribe is hitting just .193 with a .545 OPS in 164 plate appearances this season and has only played once in the past week. Adam Kennedy (groin) is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Friday, so the Dodgers could part ways with him as soon as this week. The 33-year-old is still owed $7 million next season and $1 million in deferred payment in 2014.

Juan Uribe had a huge day in Saturday's win over the Mets, going 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI, two walks and three runs scored.
Uribe's two-run double in the top of the third snapped a 1-for-38 skid. He later added a two-run homer off R.A. Dickey in the top of the ninth inning. It was his first multi-hit game since June 15 while the four RBI were a season-high.

Juan Uribe is batting just .161 with a .188 OBP since returning from the disabled list June 11.
"He hasn't looked very good, honestly," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly told reporters. "For me, there's too much pull. I looked at video of him this morning, he's pulling out of there." Elian Herrera started at third base Sunday against the Angels.

Dodgers activated INF Juan Uribe from the 15-day disabled list.
Uribe went 3-or-10 (.300) with a homer, a triple and three RBI in three rehab games over the weekend with High-A Rancho Cucamonga. The veteran infielder has been sidelined since May 14 due to inflammation in his left wrist. While Uribe is back from the DL, Elian Herrera will make the start at third base Monday.

Uribe has been taking batting practice for a couple days now, but the Dodgers want to see him go through his pre-game routine this weekend before clearing him to return to game action. Barring any setbacks, there's a chance he could return by the end of next week.
