Enrique Hernandez was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Joc Pederson may soon join him. And the Dodgers are still awaiting a verdict on Clayton Kershaw, who flew to Los Angeles on Wednesday to undergo an examination of his stiff lower back.
The roster churned before Wednesday’s game against the Brewers. The team put Hernandez on the DL because of an injury in his left rib cage to make room for Brock Stewart, a 24-year-old rookie pitcher making his big league debut. To clear space on the 40-man roster, the team moved pitcher Alex Wood to the 60-day disabled list, meaning he won’t be eligible to pitch until July 30 as he recovers from a left elbow impingement.
