MLB notes: Dodgers put Schmidt on DL for shoulder
Dodgers put Schmidt on DL for shoulder
The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-hander Jason Schmidt on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with shoulder inflammation. The move was retroactive to Sunday.
Schmidt had an MRI Monday in Phoenix and there is no time frame for his return. The team is going to give him a few days off to see if the irritation subsides.
The Dodgers have not made a corresponding roster move and Dodgers manager Grady Little did not name a starter for Thursday at Colorado.
Soriano sidelined with strained hamstring: Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano expects to miss about a week after straining his left hamstring while diving for a ball against the San Diego Padres.
The Cubs didn't put the five-time All-Star on the 15-day disabled list, even though an MRI revealed no major structural damage.
Wright's brother safe after Virginia Tech shootings: David Wright quickly reached for his cell phone when he heard about the Virginia Tech massacre. It took a while before the New York Mets third baseman knew his younger brother was safe.
"Never in your wildest dreams do you expect something this cruel and this senseless to happen, especially in the United States at a college campus in such a nice community," Wright said.
Stephen Wright is a 21-year-old engineering major at Virginia Tech. David Wright was with the Mets in Philadelphia when he heard about the shootings Monday morning. Phone lines were tied up so it wasn't until 2 p.m. EDT that David spoke to him.
