The Dodgers are now unsure about the future of two shortstops --
Nomar Garciaparra (who sprained a ligament in his left knee) and
Rafael Furcal (back surgery) -- so they've resumed their search for another.
But with Furcal expected to return in early September, the Dodgers don't seem to be focused on acquiring a front-line player. Instead, they've been inquiring about utility players -- bats off the bench -- who can fill in at short for a couple of weeks. One name they apparently were shot down on this week: Toronto's
Marco Scutaro.
