A.J. Ellis (ankle) hopes to return from the disabled list when he's first eligible this week.
Ellis sprained his right ankle while celebrating Josh Beckett's no-hitter on May 25, but he's close to 100 percent now and doesn't think he'll require a minor league rehab assignment. The Dodgers' backup has been limited to just 15 games this season.
