LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers on Sunday placed Paco Rodriguez on the 15-day disabled list with a left elbow strain, and recalled right-hander Matt West from Triple-A Oklahoma City before their game against the Cardinals on Sunday morning.
The DL move is retroactive to Saturday, as Rodriguez last pitched on Friday night. He will head back to Los Angeles to have his elbow examined, which always seems like bad news.
Paco Rodriguez hasn't felt right in his last 3 or 4 games, Mattingly said. No pain, but trouble finishing pitches.
