Guerrero is starting in left field and hitting eighth Friday. He is hitless in his last two games, but is still hitting .423 on the season and makes for a solid play in daily leagues Friday. While Carl Crawford is out there's a chance Guerrero could be in left field whenever there's a righty on the mound, as Scott Van Slyke figures to get the starts against lefties.

Guerrero will start in left field and bat sixth Tuesday against the Giants, Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports. The 28-year-old Guerrero will step in for his fifth start of the season and his first in the outfield at the major league level. Although he's logged a mere 24 plate appearances, Guerrero ranks second on the team with five homers and is tied for second in RBI with 13. It seems he may be afforded regular starts now with Carl Crawford headed to the DL with a torn oblique.

Guerrero could be in line to see extra playing time in left field, after Carl Crawford suffered a likely oblique injury during Monday's game against the Giants, the Los Angeles Times reports. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Sunday that Guerrero will get some playing time in left field, and it just so happens that Carl Crawford (oblique) suffered an injury the very next day. With Yasiel Puig (hamstring) already on the disabled list, Guerrero could be poised for something close to an everyday role in the outfield, if Crawford misses an extended period of time.

Manager Don Mattingly indicated after Sunday's game that Guerrero will see some time in left field, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. Guerrero continues to display a hot stick at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a home run in Sunday's contest and now sitting at .500/.500/1.273 with five home runs and 13 RBI in just 22 at-bats this season. With Juan Uribe and Howie Kendrick both playing pretty well, it's been tough to find a spot for the youngster. However, it looks as though Mattingly will attempt to find extra playing time in the left field moving forward, where he does have small amounts of experience in both the minors and majors.

Guerrero is in Thursday's lineup against the Giants after hitting yet another two-run pinch-hit home run in Wednesday's loss to the Giants. He's now batting .438/.412/1.125. Not bad when your slugging percentage is over 1.000. Guerrero may get more starts at third going forward.

Guerrero hit a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the Dodgers' 6-5 win over the Mariners on Tuesday. The fourth-inning long ball, Guerrero's second in 12 at-bats this season, came against Hisashi Iwakuma and pulled the Dodgers to within one run. Los Angeles would get two in the ninth against closer Fernando Rodney to finish the comeback. Guerrero is making his case for an increased role, but manager Don Mattingly told Bill Shaikin of MLB.com before Tuesday's game that a hot week from Guerrero does not mean Juan Uribe is in jeopardy of losing his starting job at third base.

Guerrero will not start at third base Tuesday against the Mariners, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports. Instead, Juan Uribe (hamstring) will be in there unless Don Mattingly changes his mind while filling out the lineup card today. All Guerrero did in the two games Uribe was out is provide six RBI.

Guerrero went 1-for-4 from the plate Sunday against the Mariners but drove in two runs and only struck out once, his first strikeout of the season. Guerrero continues to start in place of Juan Uribe (hamstring). In his first three games of the season for the Dodgers, he's recorded four hits, one double and a home run while slugging .727 so far. However, Uribe is considered day-to-day, so Guerrero could lose his starting spot any day now.

Guerrero had a huge day at the plate Sunday in his first career start, going 3-for-5 with a home run, double, and four RBI. With Juan Uribe nursing a minor hamstring injury, Guerrero probably deserves at least another start, if not more. Guerrero's bat could even find its way into the lineup on a regular basis if the team is comfortable with his glove.
