The Dodgers have their second of the series tonight with the Marlins at 4:10pm.

Chad Billingsley is still looking for his first win of the season. In his last outing against the Dbacks, he struck out a career-high 12 in six full innings, but that was overshadowed by the loss after giving up five runs. The Dodgers will face LHP Scott Olsen, who is 3-0 with a 2.06 ERA. Billingsley is 2-0 against the Marlins while Olsen is 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA against the Dodgers.

Injury Updates:

Reliever Jonathan Broxton was sidelined on Tuesday for a strained back muscle. Though Proctor, Beimel, and Saito all came out of the pen for four shutout innings in last night’s win, Broxton is a key asset to pen, and should be available in the next few days.

Jason Schmidt threw his second simulated game on Tuesday, which puts him on pace for a rehab assignment as early as the end of this weekend. He is scheduled for a bullpen session on Friday.
