    "Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman James Loney was scheduled to undergo an MRI exam on his left knee Saturday to determine the cause of mild tightness he has been experiencing in recent days, although manager Don Mattingly said he wasn't overly concerned.

    Mattingly said Loney first began to feel it during stretching exercises before Thursday night's game against the Cincinnati Reds, then felt it again after playing four innings on Friday night against the San Francisco Giants.

    "He feels it when he gets to a certain point in his stretching," Mattingly said. "It seems like it [isn't serious], because he isn't feeling any pain, and he played last night. But these guys know their bodies pretty good, and with the knee, we want to be a little careful. We just want to find out what it is."

    Team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache is expected to arrive at the Dodgers' spring training facility sometime on Saturday, and Mattingly said he hoped ElAttrache would have a chance to examine Loney's MRI results and render an opinion by the end of the day."
