Dave Roberts to Play Full Time in Left
San Diego's Dave Roberts, currently playing center field while the injured Mike Cameron plays rehabilitation games for single A Lake Elsinore, will move to left field full time when Cameron returns. Roberts' playing time has increased significantly with the demotion of Termel Sledge. Roberts has a pair of triples and two stolen bases while batting .286 in 35 AB. Sledge batted 25 times but could not even hit his weight.
