The club recalled infielder Chin-lung Hu after Sunday night's game when second baseman Jeff Kent was placed on the disabled list. Also expected to be recalled are top pitching prospect James McDonald, pitchers Eric Stults and Clayton Kershaw and outfielder Jason Repko.
Kershaw's call-up is only a formality. He was optioned to Las Vegas after Thursday night's loss at Washington, but only to clear a roster spot, and he was always scheduled to start on Tuesday night against San Diego.
The Dodgers also will purchase the contract of catcher A.J. Ellis.
DODGERS 8, DIAMONDBACKS 1: The Dodgers hung eight runs, six of them earned, on a completely ineffective Brandon Webb, who was gone with one out in the fourth inning Sunday night. Derek Lowe pitched six shutout innings, allowing four hits, for his first career victory at Chase Field. Andre Ethier and Casey Blake homered, both in the first inning, to stake the Dodgers to a 4-0 lead. Ethier also drove in a run with a double in the fourth.
