  LOS ANGELES — Can we say these are the good old days for Los Angeles sports fans?
  This spring and summer, there has been a refreshing trend. The marquee franchises in this country’s second-largest market have acted like big-market franchises.
  First, it was the Rams signing Aqib Talib and Ndamukong Suh and then reaching agreement on extensions with Brandin Cooks and Todd Gurley. (And yes, you’ve got to assume Aaron Donald will get his money at some point, even if it might n

  LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers reduced their starting rotation from six to five, expanded their bullpen from seven to eight, and found a way to limit Ross Stripling’s innings all in one transaction Monday.
  You could say Stripling’s latest injury toes the line between misfortune and good timing.
  Manager Dave Roberts said Stripling will need 10 to 12 days to recover from an ailment the Dodgers described as “right first toe inflammation.” The right-handed pitcher “has

  COSTA MESA — Mike Williams has something to prove.
  A year ago, the Chargers’ first-round pick was stuck on the sidelines at Jack Hammett Sports Complex, hampered by a herniated disc in his lower back. Missing those reps turned out to be costly. Williams eventually made 10 appearances in 2017 but, robbed of his rookie training camp, he ever became a vital part of the offense.
