Hatcher believes he is ready despite unimpressive statistics in his rehabilitation assignments. Lamb was a fifth-round selection in 2008 by Kansas City and has made 124 minor-league starts.
“Who cares?” Latos said about the opponent. “I try and simplify everything”.
Enrique Hernandez, Yasiel Puig, Justin Turner and Adrian Gonzalez all homered, sparking the Los Angeles Dodgers to an 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night before 46,807 at Dodger Stadium.
