Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman/outfielder
Edwin Rios (hamstring) will begin his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, starting at third base and batting second. Rios landed on the injured list on June 3 with a torn hamstring, so he's likely to require a lengthy rehab assignment before the Dodgers consider having him rejoin their active roster. The 28-year-old is unlikely to have a path to regular playing time in LA when he's ready, either. In 86 at-bats with the Dodgers before his injury, Rios was hitting .244/.293/.500 with seven home runs, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored in 27 games played.

Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts said that outfielder/first baseman
Edwin Rios (hamstring) has a right hamstring tear that will send him to the injured list. The good news is that Rios won't need surgery.
Eddy Alvarez has been added to the active MLB roster in a corresponding move. It will be a couple of weeks before Rios will be able to return to action after suffering the injury while running to first base on Thursday. The 28-year-old had mostly been serving as the team's designated hitter against right-handed pitchers, and he was hitting .244/.293/.500 with seven home runs, 17 RBI and 12 runs scored in 27 games played.
Zach McKinstry, who was just called up from the minors on Thursday, is serving as the DH and is batting eighth on Friday against New York Mets right-hander
Chris Bassitt.

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder
Edwin Rios is in Tuesday's starting lineup for a matchup with the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander
Bryse Wilson. Rios is batting .250 with a .280 on-base percentage, and a pair of home runs in 25 plate appearances this season. He's getting the start at designated hitter on Tuesday and is hitting seventh against Wilson and the Pirates. Rios could be worth a look for fantasy managers in deeper leagues who are looking in search of infield streaming options with a fantasy-friendly matchup against Pittsburgh.
