Already charging toward a franchise record for victories, the Dodgers continue to tweak and improve their roster. The latest addition is outfielder Curtis Granderson, who was acquired from the New York Mets on Friday in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later. Granderson, 36, has hit 19 home runs with an .815 on-base plus slugging percentage for the Mets. Granderson is a left-handed batter who could add pressure to slumping center fielder Joc Pederson. Andre Ethier, another veteran left-handed hitter, is expected to rejoin the team in September.
