Beset by yet another injury to their starting rotation and scrambling for coverage in their bullpen, the Dodgers made a pair of roster moves before Wednesday’s game against Philadelphia.
Santana arrived because Maeda injured himself Tuesday evening. An MRI confirmed the training staff’s initial diagnosis, Roberts said. Maeda viewed the injury as a minor one, but the team will be cautious with his return.
Maeda became the fourth member of the opening day starting rotation to land on the disabled list. Clayton Kershaw (biceps tendinitis) will be activated Thursday. Hyun-Jin Ryu (torn groin muscle) may not be back until at least July.
