Arnold will begin serving it today and be eligible again when the Dodgers return home Friday to face Atlanta. ``It's better to get it over with and just move past it,'' said Arnold, who was suspended for his role in the July 11 fight with Seattle. ``I can't pitch for another couple of days, so I guess it makes sense. That's what they want to do, and that's fine with me.''

Johnson said Young would return to the starting lineup. That will give the Dodgers the opportunity to showcase Young, set to make $9 million over the next two seasons, for an offseason trade. ``One of the problems before was he never healed,'' Johnson said. ``He'll help offensively. If his wheels are back, that's part of his game. He felt a part of (his problem) was his wheels.''
