Worth noting

• Dipoto said third base "is something we're going to look at" this offseason. Luis Jimenez, Nelson and Andrew Romine are the current options, with Grant Green a project and Kaleb Cowart returning to Double-A in 2014 after a rough season.

"We'll try to put together a good -- I don't want to call it a platoon -- but a good timeshare at third base that works," Dipoto said.

• Trumbo was dropped to seventh in the batting order for Thursday night's game against the Rangers. The first baseman entered in an 0-for-24 slump, sitting on 34 homers and 99 RBIs, but then went 3-for-5 and drove in his 100th run in a 6-5 walk-off loss.

"This guy works so hard at it, and he's so accountable," Scioscia said. "He'll say when he's bad and try to get better. He's been in a little bit of a downturn, but it takes one good swing."

• Mike Trout reached base safely three times on Thursday and has reached base 304 times this season, passing Rickey Henderson (301 in 1980) for most times reaching base in a player's age-21 or younger season.
