Tuesday lineups: Hector Olivera placed on DL with hamstring injury

/ STAFF WRITER

CHICAGO -- Hector Olivera is not likely to be joining the Dodgers before the All-Star break.

The Cuban infielder was placed on the DL with Triple-A Oklahoma City after straining his left hamstring over the weekend. The injury is considered a mild Grade 1 strain but that could sideline Olivera for two to three weeks or more.

Olivera has headed back to Arizona to rehab the injury at the Dodgers' training complex there.

"Never really had a true timetable so I don't know if it changes the timetable any," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
