Manager Don Mattingly and eight Dodgers are scheduled to sign autographs before Sunday’s game to raise funds for Missouri tornado victims.

Mattingly and pitchers Scott Elbert, Ted Lilly, Chad Billingsley, Matt Guerrier, Kenley Jansen, Javy Guerra, Mike MacDougal and Ramon Troncoso are scheduled to sign from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

The manager and players will sign as part of the team’s Viva Los Dodgers celebration in parking lot six.

A $5 donation is encouraged by the club. Cash and checks will be accepted. All funds are scheduled to be given to the Salvation Army.

The Dodgers said Elbert, who is originally from Joplin, Mo., is spearheading Sunday’s effort.
