Heads to injured list Rios was placed on the 10-day IL Wednesday with a right shoulder issue, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact The backup infielder has struggled mightily at the plate, having gone 0-for-31 in his last 17 games. Pitcher Edwin Uceta will take Rios' roster spot.

Struggling mightily at plate Rios has not registered a hit since April 13, going 0-for-23 with nine strikeouts over his past 12 games.
Impact Rios has received plenty of opportunity -- along with the occasional start, he has also served as one of the Dodgers' primary bats off the bench -- but he appears lost at the dish at the moment, whiffing in seven of his past 11 plate appearances. Though manager Dave Roberts initially rejected the idea of sending Rios to the team's alternate site to straighten things out, he may be changing his mind, per Michael J. Duarte of NBC LA. When asked again Tuesday about the possibility of sending Rios down, Roberts responded, "We monitor all our players and can certainly have those discussions."

Enters Thursday's lineup Rios will draw the start at first base and bat sixth Thursday against the Rockies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rios was not in the Dodgers' original lineup, but Gavin Lux (wrist) was scratched before the first pitch. That move shifted Max Muncy to second base and will give Rios the chance to start his sixth game of the season and his second at first base.

Goes deep Tuesday Rios went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in a 5-1 win over Oakland on Tuesday.
Impact Rios started at third base in the contest while Justin Turner slotted in as the team's DH. The former took advantage of the opportunity, drilling a solo shot to right field in the third inning. Rios has demonstrated plenty of pop during his time in the majors thus far, though he has yet to log enough playing time to be a major factor in fantasy leagues.

Starting Saturday Rios (hamstring) is in the lineup for Saturday's spring game against Cleveland, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Impact Rios entered Friday's loss to the Athletics as a pinch hitter and struck out in his only at-bat, and he'll return to the lineup for Saturday's matchup. The 26-year-old had dealt with mild hamstring tightness over the last several days but now appears to be healthy with less than a week remaining until Opening Day.

In line for more playing time Rios will get more chances to play third base this season, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact The Dodgers re-signed Justin Turner last week, eliminating the possibility of Rios stepping into a starting position. The NL is not currently projected to play with a DH in 2021, which further diminishes Rios' opportunities for at-bats. However, manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Rios has earned more time at the hot corner and suggested that Turner could consequently be allotted more frequent rest. Rios performed well when called upon last season, smashing eight home runs in only 76 at-bats.

Dealing with groin injury Rios was left off the roster for the NLDS against the Padres due to a groin injury, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Impact The 26-year-old has a .946 OPS with eight homers in 83 plate appearances this season, but he was wasn't included on the roster for the NLDS after tweaking his groin over the weekend. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but manager Dave Roberts noted, "obviously it's significant enough for us not to include [Rios] on the active roster."

Not on NLDS roster Rios is not on the roster for the NLDS against the Padres, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Rios impressed in a part-time role this season, hitting eight homers in 83 plate appearances while slashing .250/.301/.645. The Dodgers evidently wanted another middle-infield option rather than a corner bat, however, as they dropped Rios ahead of the NLDS and replaced him with Gavin Lux.
