Juan Uribe tests his hamstring, could be available for Dodgers’ game against San Francisco Giants.

Juan Uribe might be available to play in the Dodgers’ series finale today against the San Francisco Giants after missing the last two games with a strained right hamstring.

Uribe said he felt better Sunday morning, well enough to test the hamstring in pregame agility drills. After jogging in the outfield, Uribe tried moving laterally while a Dodgers trainer rolled a baseball to him from short range.

“Everybody’s feeling better that we’re hopefully staying away from the DL,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “Stan (Conte, the Dodgers’ head athletic trainer) feels like it’s safe that we’re not going to go backwards with this.”

Justin Turner is starting at third base in Uribe’s place; Turner started Friday against Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner and Chone Figgins drew the assignment yesterday against right-hander Matt Cain.

Here are the lineups for both teams:

Dodgers:

Dee Gordon 2B
Yasiel Puig RF
Hanley Ramirez SS
Adrian Gonzalez 1B
Matt Kemp CF
Andre Ethier LF
Justin Turner 3B
Drew Butera C
Clayton Kershaw P

Giants:

Buster Posey C
Pablo Sandoval 3B
Brandon Hicks 2B
Joaquin Arias 1B
Juan Perez LF
