    Cruz likely candidate to start '13 at short, but Mattingly non-committal
    By Austin Laymance / MLB.com | 3/29/2013 2:00 A.M. ET​

    ANAHEIM -- As the Dodgers prepare for Opening Day on Monday, manager Don Mattingly's biggest concern is the left side of the infield.​

    With shortstop Hanley Ramirez sidelined due to a torn ligament in his left thumb, the Dodgers are still finalizing plans on how to replace the three-time All-Star. Luis Cruz is the likely candidate to start at shortstop, but Mattingly would not commit to that Thursday.​

    "What we do over there is a concern," Mattingly said before Thursday's exhibition against the Angels. "We'll see. Once Hanley was out of the equation there, it put us in a situation depending on what we do with Luis."​

    Before Ramirez's injury, Cruz projected as the starting third baseman.​

    "If we move Luis over to shortstop, then that leaves a number of guys available to play third base," Mattingly said. "If I do that, then it will be a combination of guys, between Jerry [Hairston], [Nick] Punto and Juan [Uribe]."​

    Mattingly added the club was "still looking at different options" at shortstop. The manager mentioned that Punto played the position well during Spring Training.​

    Cruz has 63 appearances at shortstop in his four-year career, including 23 with the Dodgers in 2012.​

    Justin Sellers is back in the mix at shortstop, despite being optioned to the Minor Leagues last week. He started at short the last two days.​
