The Dodgers placed pitcher Esteban Loaiza on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, retroactive to May 4, because of tightness in his shoulder blade. (Updated 05/07/2008).
Injury Report
Shoulder - 15-day DL. Out until at least late May (Updated - 5/7/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Loaiza was tagged for five runs in 2 1/3 innings during his last start Saturday against the Rockies. Loaiza has worked in relief and has started for the Dodgers this season, but the right-hander is injury-prone and past his prime. He is nothing more than a stopgap NL-only Fantasy option when healthy. (Updated 05/07/2008).
