The Los Angeles Dodgers placed Grant Dayton on the 10-day disabled list due to neck stiffness and recalled Scott Van Slyke from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Dayton previously spent time on the DL this season due to a left intercostal strain.
He last pitched June 30 against the San Diego Padres, allowing one run on one hit, issuing one walk and striking out one in 1.2 innings. Overall this season, Dayton is 1-1 with a 3.63 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 12 walks and 20 strikeouts in 22.1 innings over 27 games.
Of his relief appearances 22 have been scoreless efforts.
