LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers recalled right-handed reliever Josh Fields from Triple-A to restock their weary bullpen and made room by placing left-handed reliever Grant Dayton on the disabled list with a left intercostal strain.
Fields threw three scoreless innings with six strikeouts for the Dodgers, but he was optioned to Oklahoma City on Friday, when the team activated reliever Pedro Baez from the 10-day disabled list.
Dayton pitched in the past two games, including a hitless inning Monday night, and he likely would have been unavailable to pitch Tuesday night.
