Van Slyke went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's 10-7 loss to the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old started what was a rather unlikely Dodgers comeback effort with a 435-foot shot to right center in the fifth, giving them the first run of the night. Just recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on May 10, Van Slyke's stint with the big-league club may not be long, but he should particularly see some time versus southpaws, against which he owns a .360 wOBA and .213 ISO over five-plus major-league seasons.
