May 28 (Reuters) – The National League-leading Los Angeles
Dodgers placed left-handed pitcher Ted Lilly on the 15-day
disabled list with left shoulder inflammation, the Major League
Baseball (MLB) team said on Monday.
Lilly, 5-1 with a 3.14 earned-run average in eight starts
this season, last pitched on Wednesday at Arizona where he
suffered his first loss on the season when he allowed nine hits
and eight earned runs in an 11-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.
The move is retroactive to May 24.
This marks the two-time All-Star pitcher’s second stint on
the disabled list this season after missing the Dodgers’ first
eight games due to neck stiffness.
The Dodgers, who lead the National League by 3-1/2 games
going into Monday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers, recalled
left-handed pitcher Michael Antonini from Triple-A Albuquerque.
