The driver, a man in his 20s, was in stable condition with scrapes and cuts to his face and his injuries are not life-threatening, Sgt. David Armas said. His name was not released.
The man was involved in a minor collision with another driver as he was leaving the stadium parking lot, and three men from another car also got involved, Armas said.
''They basically held the victim down while the original suspect kicked and hit him about the head and face area while he was on the ground,'' Armas said.
The violence comes after a Giants fan was severely injured in a beating during last year's opening game. Bryan Stow was left brain damaged during a confrontation in the parking lot, and stadium officials had promised to increase security after the attack.
Armas said Dodgers security staff and uniformed off-duty Los Angeles police were at the stadium Sunday and responded quickly.
Calls to Dodgers representatives seeking comment were not immediately returned.
The four men involved in the latest attack, all in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon because the victim was kicked, Armas said. One of them suffered bumps and scrapes to his face, ''probably as a result of the victim defending himself,'' Armas said.
A woman in the victim's car who was eight months pregnant was not hurt but she was examined at a hospital as a precaution, he said.
Armas said the suspects did not appear to have any street gang affiliations.
