PHOENIX -- The Los Angeles Dodgers close out their seasons longest road trip, 10 games, Sunday against NL West rival Arizona.As always, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will be mixing and matching, calculating who is healthy enough to play and who has the best chance to be effective. The Dodgers have placed 28 players on the disabled list this year, most in MLB history.How has he done it?Roberts fumbled for an answer Saturday. I think its just a matter of not trying to, uh, I dont know. Its a good question.Then, after thinking the matter through, he said, I think a lot of it is the players just understanding that there are certain circumstances were presented with and weve got to find a way to make it work.So I think its not ideal or traditional some of the things thats weve done. But weve had to make it work.Saturdays 6-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks was a great example.In addition to such high-profile youngsters as Corey Seager and Joc Pederson, Roberts started a pitcher, Brock Stewart, who began the season at Class A Rancho Cucamonga.Stewart proceeded to outpitch the D-backs Shelby Miller, giving the Dodgers five solid innings in his fifth MLB start.Then there was another rookie, Andrew Toles, who made a perfect throw from left field to home to save a run and choke off a Diamondbacks rally.A huge play, Roberts said.Next rookie up for the Dodgers is right-hander Jose De Leon (2-0), who will make just the third start of his major league career. In 11 innings pitched for Los Angeles, he has given up six runs (five earned) on eight hits, including three home runs. He has 12 strikeouts and two walks in his first two starts.It will be the 65th game started by a rookie this year for the Dodgers.Roberts was asked to reflect back to spring training, and if he would have been scared to see some of these names in the lineup in a pennant chase.Probably so, he replied.There were some games where, you look at the lineups weve run out there in September, it kind of looks like a split-squad (spring training) game. But these are major league players playing on a playoff-contending team.You look at our roster and you project. This is not the way obviously we would have seen it playing out.Roberts praised the Dodgers scouts and player-development staff.The common factor with these young players is the pulse and the head. They dont scare off. Theyre really unshaken.The Diamondbacks will counter with Robbie Ray, who is 8-13 with a 4.55 ERA this season. He became one of just four pitchers in franchise history to record a 200-strikeout season when he beat the Rockies on Tuesday, allowing four runs over five innings with seven strikeouts.Ray is 3-3 in seven career starts against the Dodgers. Joe Ross Nationals Jersey .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. Ryan Zimmerman Jersey . Thousands of fans at Mosaic Stadium will be cozying up to each other in an effort to stay warm in chilly temperatures and block the Prairie wind that locals say can knock your socks off. https://www.cheapnationals.com/1507r-carter-kieboom-jersey-nationals.html . "Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning. In this case, it was soccer weather. The sport moved a step closer to returning to South Florida on Wednesday, when Beckham confirmed he has exercised his option to purchase a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in Miami. Raudy Read Nationals Jersey . Zvonareva, who won the tournament in 2009 and 10, couldnt handle her opponents big groundstrokes in only her third event back after 17 months out with a shoulder injury. Zvonareva made her comeback in January in Shenzhen and played in the Australian Open but lost her first matches at both tournaments. Andrew Stevenson Nationals Jersey . Darren Helm scored on Detroits sixth attempt in the shootout and then Jonas Gustavsson stopped Andrew Shaws shot, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night. F1 photographer Mark Sutton walks ESPN through his favourite shots from Austria and Great Britain.Ferraris season in a shotCamera model: NIKON D5 | Exposure time: 1/1600s | Aperture: F5.6 | ISO speed: 400 | Lens: 500mm telephotoThis was just a bizarre one. I was walking behind the photo tower and there was a huge bang, I thought what the hell was that thinking a car had hit a barrier. By the time I got around there the car was just sat in the middle of the track so I poked my camera through the fence. There was a nice sequence of him climbing out of the car. He wanted to run across the main straights to the pits but they wouldnt let him. This is my favourite shot of the sequence because youve got the Mercedes in the distance and this picture probably sums up Ferraris season so far -- lots of little issues and wasted opportunities while Mercedes have stayed out in front.Procar raceCamera model: NIKON D5 | Exposure time: 1/1000s | Aperture: F13 | ISO speed: 1000 | Lens: 70-200mm zoom with 1.4 converterPeople love these Procar races, it was amazing seeing the reaction on social media to this race. This is something they used to do on a regular basis, putting drivers into one car for special races which formed its own championship. In Austria a bunch of the old guys went out, including Niki Lauda, on what was a bit more of a parade than a race. It was great to hear the roar of the engines, the pure power of a normally-aspirated engine.It was a pretty good spectacle. Marc Surer went off on the first lap and then we saw him in the paddock trying to hide his face from everyone, he looked quite embarrassed. It was great to see some of the old timers there, they certainly enjoyed themselves being back in them. Id love to see them doing something like this for modern F1 drivers because the fans enjoy it, its a bit different.Awkward HaloCamera model: NIKON D5 Z| Exposure time: 1/400s | Aperture: F4.5 | ISO speed: 1600 | Lens: 70-200mm zoomThis was before Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari tested the Halo device at Silverstone. I think I captured this moment quite well. We obviously got the standard pictures of him going in and out of the garage with the Halo on but this a shot of him actually squeezing in and out of the car.dddddddddddd This shows how awkward it is to get out, one of the main concerns about the device. Halo pretty much is the size of the cockpit but theres another barrier to overcome for the driver or for a marshal extracting him from the car. One he had got out his foot nearly got caught on it as well, highlighting further reasons it perhaps needs revaluating before a decision is made.Safety Car startCamera model: NIKON D5 | Exposure time: 1/1000s | Aperture: F9 | ISO speed: 200 | Lens: 70-200mm zoomIt was pretty surreal being on the grid when this sudden downpour occurred. Everyone was scrambling around for new tyres, trying to not get their cockpits wet, finding umbrellas for their VIPs, it was a bit ridiculous! It was a shame -- and controversial -- they started under the Safety Car but these two shots show just how bad the spray was for those further back in the pack.The first few laps were pretty chaotic because people changed immediately for intermediates, knowing it was already drying quite quickly. The only thing annoying about this picture is that you can see what looks like an empty grandstand in the background -- it does not give a fair reflection of the Silverstone crowd at all. You can see the packed grandstand to the left, the one opposite the pit lane.CelebrationsCamera model: NIKON D5 | Exposure time: 1/1000s | Aperture: F6.3 | ISO speed: 250 | Lens: 500mm telephotoIt was great seeing Lewis Hamiltons celebrations at Silverstone. He genuinely went beyond what is expected of most drivers when they win a race, engaging with the fans and generally looking like he was having the time of his life. The champagne shots like this are always good fun as the drivers put aside any differences of frustrations and enjoy themselves on the podium for a brief moment. With the pendulum swinging between Hamilton and Nico Rosberg its important to get as many different shots of the pair as possible. ' ' '
