LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers hired former Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke as their third-base coach Monday.

Roenicke, who was fired in May, managed the Brewers to a 342-331 record in four-plus seasons.

He played outfield for the Dodgers from 1981 to 1983 and was a bench coach under former Dodgers teammate Mike Scioscia in Anaheim before being hired in Milwaukee.

By several measures, the Dodgers have been the worst baserunning team in the National League this season. Los Angeles has the worst baserunning WAR in the league, per FanGraphs. The team is also last in the NL in stolen-base percentage and has hit into the most double plays.

Lorenzo Bundy, who was coaching third base, will remain with the team as an outfield coordinator.
