FAMILY TIME: Former Dodgers first baseman Eric Karros is in camp as a guest instructor and took out the lineup card for the Dodgers before Sunday’s game. Meeting him at home plate with the Rockies’ lineup was Kyle Karros, one of two sons who played at UCLA and are now in professional baseball. Kyle was a fifth-round pick of the Rockies last season. He got into Sunday’s game and went 1 for 2. Jarrod Karros was drafted out of UCLA by the Dodgers in 2022.
