| |  | ATLANTA: ATLANTA (AP) - For the Atlanta Braves, spring training turned into a matter of survival.
No wonder they're so eager to get the season going.
The defending NL East champions lost a big chunk of their starting rotation down in Florida: projected opening day starter Kris Medlen and fellow right-hander Brandon Beachy both underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time and are out for the season. Another starter, Mike Minor, will also begin the year on the disabled list as he recovers from a sore shoulder.
But the Braves are nothing if not resourceful. They quickly signed Ervin Santana to a $14.1 million, one-year contract and have every intention of getting back to the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years.
''We still have a great team,'' closer Craig Kimbrel said. ''It's tough losing two top pitchers. But getting Santana was really big. I want to be closing out division titles and championships and World Series. I think we've still got the group to do it.''
The Braves will have a different look behind the plate after longtime catcher Brian McCann signed with the New York Yankees. But another title in a lackluster division is certainly a possibility, especially if second baseman Dan Uggla and center fielder B.J. Upton bounce back from dismal seasons in which both hit under .200. They showed signs of turning things around in spring training.
''Time will tell,'' general manager Frank Wren said, ''but we really like what we've seen so far.''
| | LA DODGERS: LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Dodgers have spent big bucks on their roster, ramping up World Series expectations right along with the payroll. Now they want to produce results.
They'll get the chance starting Saturday in Australia, where they open the season against NL West rival Arizona.
With a payroll in the range of $225 million-plus, the Dodgers have laid the groundwork to get to their first World Series title since 1988, when they won the title. They came up short last year, losing to St. Louis in six games in the NL championship series.
''The expectations going in this time are realistic. We're a talented club and we're capable,'' said manager Don Mattingly, who signed a three-year extension in January.
The Dodgers want to avoid the poor start they had last season, when key players were injured and the team had to rally to get back into the division race. They eventually won the title by 11 games over the Diamondbacks.
''We need to be more consistent,'' Mattingly said. ''I see it as winning every series and you'll be in pretty good shape. The next thing you know, you're 20 games over .500.''
First baseman Adrian Gonzalez is looking to follow up his strong season last year, while shortstop Hanley Ramirez, who was injured in the NL championship series, will be playing to set himself up for impending free agency.

| | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER NL PREVIEW (ATLANTA-LA DODGERS) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Braves-Dodgers Preview* ========================
Atlanta (57-48) at Los Angeles (59-47), 10:10 p.m. EDT
The Los Angeles Dodgers flexed their muscles as they showed over the weekend why they are considered major contenders.
The visiting Atlanta Braves are well aware of the postseason threat posed by the NL West leaders.
These teams meet Tuesday night for the first time since the Dodgers eliminated the Braves in an NL division series last year.
Los Angeles (59-47) begins an eight-game homestand with this three-game set. The Dodgers have not played since they capped a three-game sweep in San Francisco with Sunday's 4-3 victory that ensured they would leave the Bay Area in first place.
"You make enough of a statement by winning three games," manager Don Mattingly said. "Obviously it's something. That's all it is at that point because you have a lot of baseball to play. We're going to see these guys again. They're not going anywhere."
Hanley Ramirez was 6 for 13 with three RBIs, Adrian Gonzalez 5 for 13 with three RBIs and Yasiel Puig 5 for 14 with three triples as the Dodgers outscored the Giants 17-4.
Those hitters caused major problems for Atlanta (58-48) in last year's playoffs. Ramirez was 8 for 16 with six RBIs, Puig was 8 for 17 and Gonzalez 6 for 18.
Carl Crawford homered three times and Juan Uribe added two as the Dodgers batted .333 in capturing the series in four games after losing five of seven to the Braves in the regular season.
It was a difficult series for Atlanta sluggers Jason Heyward and Justin Upton, who combined to go 5 for 32 with 11 strikeouts and four RBIs - all by Heyward.
Upton is 2 for 5 against Dodgers starter Josh Beckett (6-5, 2.52 ERA). Brother B.J. Upton has one hit in his last 17 at-bats versus Beckett, who is 6-0 with a 0.38 ERA in his last seven starts against the Braves although he hasn't faced them in more than five years.
Beckett is no doubt more concerned about recovering from his start one week ago in which he didn't get a decision after allowing four runs and a season-high three homers in a season-low 3 2-3 innings in a 12-7 loss at Pittsburgh. It was his first outing in 16 days after hip problems.
"I was ready to pitch," Beckett said. "The trainers cleared me. The doctors cleared me. I just didn't pitch well and I put the guys coming in behind in a tough spot because they had to pitch way too many innings."
The right-hander is 0-4 with a 3.30 ERA in his last five home starts.
Braves starter Aaron Harang (9-6, 3.31) has a 1.35 ERA in his last three starts and is 4-0 with a 2.20 ERA in his last six outings. He hasn't faced the Dodgers since his lone season with them in 2012.
Ramirez is 10 for 26 with five homers off the right-hander and Gonzalez is 7 for 17 with three homers.
B.J. Upton and rookie Tommy La Stella will likely be back in Atlanta's lineup after they did not start in Monday's 2-0 win over San Diego that capped a 6-5 homestand.
Heyward left after the third inning with lower back soreness. He's day to day.
