Dodgers utilizing position player depth

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers go for a third consecutive win on Sunday, with pretty much all hands on deck contributing to their first two wins over the Diamondbacks.

Austin Barnes started for the third time in 12 games this season on Saturday, and hit his first major league home run.

“It’s important for Yasmani Grandal to get days [off],” manager Dave Roberts said. “It’s important for Austin to stay relevant, stay current. I like his receiving back there. His at-bat quality is good. He’s real green, but we’re going to keep running him out there, and I feel good when he is behind the plate.
