Ellis' solo blast 0:47 7/12/15: A.J. Ellis belts a solo home run to center field off Kyle Lohse to cut the Dodgers' deficit to 3-2 in the top of the 5th inningATLANTA -- Just a day after Yasmani Grandal had to exit a game after taking a foul ball off his mask, the Dodgers had to place catcher A.J. Ellis on the 15-day disabled list after he experienced tightness in his right knee on the team plane Sunday night.
Ellis received an MRI, which showed no structural damage, on Monday, but Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Ellis wasn't able to get into the crouching position necessary to play.
