The Los Angeles Dodgers began the 2017 season with six players on the disabled list; all but one were on the 10-day DL, with Yimi Garcia on the 60-day because of Tommy John surgery. During the season, Los Angeles has put 12 players on the DL.
The latest of which came Thursday, when left hamstring tightness sidelined Kenta Maeda. The roster decision was made one afternoon removed from Maeda throwing a career 8.1 innings. His performance against the Pittsburgh Pirates was arguably Maeda’s best start of his career.
Maeda was put on the DL as a corresponding move to the Dodgers activating Hyun-Jin Ryu, who started Thursday’s series opener against the Colorado Rockies.
