Trending Up:



Jimmy Rollins: Finally healthy again, Rollins started in three consecutive games from Wednesday through Friday.

Over 20 plate appearances, he reached base safely nine times (.450 on-base percentage) and scored five runs. It was his best offensive week in quite some time, and it will be interesting to see how much playing time he receives from here on out with the emergence of Corey Seager.

Andre Ethier: Picking up four starts (six games), Ethier achieved an impressive milestone.

In 17 plate appearances, he drew one walk and recorded six hits, including a home run and his 300th double with the Dodgers. As another week concludes, his slash line for the season remains robust at .296/.367/.484.

Honorable Mentions:

Carlos Frias: Making a spot start for Zack Greinke on Wednesday, Frias allowed just one hit in four innings — a solo home run.

Chris Heisey: Though he’s having a well-below average season to this point, Heisey hit a go-ahead grand slam on Thursday, which ultimately cemented a win for the Dodgers.

Chase Utley: Picking up 17 at-bats last week, Utley accumulated four extra-base hits — three doubles and a home run.
