Uribe is not in the lineup Saturday against the Padres. |
The starts have been few and far between for Uribe lately -- he's started just seven out of 20 May games to this point. Alex Guerrero's bat has cooled, but Justin Turner has been hot and it's hard to imagine Uribe will return to regular role anytime in the near future. |

Uribe is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants. |
Alex Guerrero will get another start at the hot corner with Uribe sitting for the 11th time in 17 May games. It seems Uribe's playing time will continue to be sporadic, with both Guerrero and Justin Turner eating into his opportunities. |
Sun May 17 2015 | 13:23 | Uribe not in lineup Sunday against Rockies |
Uribe is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rockies, Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times reports. |
Uribe will sit in favor of Justin Turner at third base, effectively being held out of the lineup for the sixth time in eight games. The 36-year-old hasn't recorded a base hit since May 7, and soon it will no longer be news when he's out of the starting lineup. With Uribe posting just a .574 OPS on the season, Turner and Alex Guerrero appear in line to take over most reps at third base moving forward. |

Sun May 10 2015 | 12:19 | Uribe out of lineup Sunday against Rockies |
Uribe is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rockies, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports. |
Uribe will give way to Alex Guerrero at the hot corner for the afternoon contest. He's 7-for-31 in his career against Sunday's starter, Jorge De La Rosa, but hasn't collected a single extra-base hit over that span. Uribe should be available to pinch hit, if needed. |
Wed May 6 2015 | 16:54 | Uribe out of lineup Wednesday |
Uribe is out of the lineup Wednesday. |
First it was Alex Guerrero and now it is Justin Turner who is pushing Uribe for starts at the hot corner. Considering how hot Turner is at the plate, this could be a common occurrence, at least until Turner cools down a little. |

Uribe is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Brewers. |
With a base knock Monday, Uribe extended his hitting streak to 13 games, but he's now set to sit for the third time in the team's last five games. Justin Turner will start at third base in his absence, and while Uribe is still the primary option, manager Don Mattingly seems intent on keeping Turner on his toes with semi-regular at-bats. |

Uribe will return to the lineup Sunday after sitting out the last two days, the LA Times reports. |
Uribe isn't hurt, and is hitting decently, but Turner just has been better. This is evolving into a bit of a timeshare at third base between Uribe and Turner, who had a great season as a supersub last year. |

Sun Apr 26 2015 | 13:23 | Uribe not in lineup Sunday against Padres |
Uribe is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres. |
Uribe will be replaced by Alex Guerrero, who is making his fourth start of the season at the hot corner. The 36-year-old Uribe is currently riding an eight-game hit streak, but that hasn't been enough for him to stay the everyday starter over the up-and-coming Guerrero. |
Thu Apr 23 2015 | 12:48 | Uribe out of lineup Thursday |
Uribe is out of the lineup Thursday, Dodgers reporter Alanna Rizzo reports. |
Fantasy owners get their wish, at least for Thursday's game, as Alex Guerrero gets the start at third base. All indications are that Uribe will remain the primary third baseman for the Dodgers all season despite Guerrero's perceived advantage offensively. |
Sun Apr 19 2015 | 13:21 | Uribe out of lineup Sunday against Rockies |

After returning from a hamstring injury, Uribe drew the previous four starts at third base after returning to the lineup Saturday, sending Turner and the hot-hitting Alex Guerrero back into reserve roles. Turner will step in to spell Uribe on Sunday, but it doesn't appear as though manager Don Mattingly is pondering any regular changes at the hot corner. Uribe is off to a 6-for-28 (.214) start over his nine games this season. |

Uribe (hamstring) will start Tuesday against the Mariners, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports. |
Alex Guerrero had six RBI in the two games Uribe was sidelines, but Guerrero will apparently return to the bench. Uribe has a .517 OPS in 14 PA's, so he'll probably need to show more at the plate soon if he is to hold off Guerrero. |

Uribe (hamstring) had no problems in pre-game drills Sunday and was available to pinch-hit if needed, the Los Angeles Times reports. |
Given his age and that he's no strange to hamstring injuries, the Dodgers' cautious approach with Uribe makes sense. Even if he's included in the lineup for Monday's series opener against the Mariners, it would hardly be surprising to see the veteran receive an extra day or two off over the course of the upcoming week. |
