PHOENIX -- Cuban infielder Hector Olivera, rehabbing a strained left hamstring at the Dodgers' Camelback Ranch complex, visited the big league clubhouse at Chase Field to introduce himself to manager Don Mattingly and staff.
The 30-year-old Olivera signed a $62.5 million contract May 20 and had been learning to play third base to go with his natural second base position when he was injured June 20 while playing for Triple-A Oklahoma City. It's not clear how Mattingly will work Olivera into the mix when he's promoted. But Mattingly said he was impressed with Olivera's maturity and adjustment to the United States.
