Dodgers-Padres: In Monday's Sports section, an article in which San Diego pitcher Jake Peavy denied he is using pine tar referred to a still image taken from Fox's national broadcast on Saturday that purportedly showed a substance on parts of his right hand. That broadcast was a regional one.

Delwyn Young was back on the Dodgers' bench, available to pinch-hit a day after being hit above his right eye by a line drive and being sent to a local hospital. Young never saw the ball hit by Martin, but said that he felt fine until the third inning of Saturday's game. He felt sick and vomited, which led to a visit to a nearby hospital, where he underwent a CAT scan that was negative. . . . Jason Schmidt's arm might be as strong as it was at any point this spring, Honeycutt said. Schmidt threw 52 pitches in the bullpen. . . . Larry Bowa, who finished serving a three-game suspension Saturday, coached third base for the Dodgers.
