Dodgers recalled INF Justin Sellers from Triple-A Albuquerque. He'll replace the injured Jerry Hairston, Jr. on the active roster.

Dodgers optioned INF Justin Sellers to Triple-A Albuquerque. Sellers batted just .150/.261/.250 in his 20 at-bats with the big club. He should be given another shot at some point down the line.

Justin Sellers earned the start at shortstop on Wednesday but failed to produce at the plate, going hitless in three at-bats against the Rockies. Sellers batted .310 during the spring, but is posting a .150 mark now that it counts. He will continue to play sporadically at best, behind Dee Gordon.

Justin Sellers has won a spot on the Dodgers' Opening Day roster. Sellers batted .310 (13-for-42) with one homer, three doubles and 10 RBI this spring, beating out Luis Cruz and Josh Fields for the final bench spot. He'll function as a backup at the middle infield positions and third base.

Justin Sellers was held out of Wednesday's Cactus League lineup with a left quadriceps injury. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly told reporters that Sellers should be ready to return to action on Friday.

Justin Sellers went 3-for-4 with a double, RBI and run scored in Monday's loss to the Indians. Sellers is now hitting .385 /.484/.615 this spring, and has roped four extra-base hits in the process. He won't enter Opening Day with a starting job, but is making a strong case for a bench spot.

Justin Sellers (chin) has been cleared by Dodgers doctors to return to Cactus League play.

The 25-year-old batted .203/.283/.301 over 139 plate appearances with the big club last season and will likely begin 2012 at the Triple-A level.
