With the Dodgers braced for a newly extended absence of Logan Forsythe, the team is expected to play Chris Taylor more often at second base, with more bench time for Chase Utley. The Dodgers had hoped Forsythe, on the disabled list since April 19 because of a broken toe, could be activated on Friday. “I also want to try to get Chase going,” Roberts said. Roberts said Hill would pitch for Rancho Cucamonga again Tuesday and, assuming he can complete five innings or 75 pitches, would rejoin the Dodgers’ rotation thereafter. … Eric Gagne, who worked out with the Dodgers this spring, signed with the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League.
