The Dodgers are set to make Sue Falsone the first female head athletic trainer in major league history, according to people familiar with the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity because the move won't be officially announced until next week.
Falsone has spent considerable time in the Dodgers' clubhouse. As the team's physical therapist from 2008-10, she traveled with the team and was popular with players. She was a consultant for the club last season.
