Los Angeles Dodgers Roster Report 2009-05-06


Los Angeles Dodgers Roster Report 2009-05-06
Fresh from their first four-game sweep of the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium, the Dodgers came into the week riding high. At 18-8, the Dodgers were off to their best 26-game start since 1984.

PLAYER NEWS:

--RHP Ramon Troncoso pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of Jeff Weaver, extending his scoreless streak to 12 1/3 innings over his past six appearances. The last run Troncoso allowed came April 18. Troncoso's effort Tuesday was part of a four-inning shutout performance by the Dodgers bullpen, which now has a collective ERA of 3.03.

--SS Rafael Furcal went 0-for-4, failing to reach base for the first time in his 25 games this season. That also ended Furcal's hitting streak at five games, during which he batted .318 (7-for-22). Despite the hitting streak, Furcal has just one extra-base hit in his past 13 games, a double Thursday off San Diego's Josh Geer.

--2B Orlando Hudson went 2-for-4 with a double, extending his hitting streak to seven games. He is batting .357 (10-for-28) during the streak. Hudson has now hit safely in each of his 12 games at Dodger Stadium, batting .467 (21-for-45) in those games.

MEDICAL WATCH:

LHP Hong-Chih Kuo (left elbow strain) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 30.

RHP Hiroki Kuroda (strained left oblique) went on the 15-day disabled list April 11. He played catch without discomfort May 5, but he had yet to be scheduled for a rehab start.

RHP Jason Schmidt (right shoulder surgery) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 30. He was still pitching in extended spring training as of early May, but he might start a rehab assignment during the weekend of May 8-10.

RHP Claudio Vargas (right elbow tendinitis) went on the 60-day disabled list retroactive to April 6. He might return as soon as he's eligible.

INF Doug Mientkiewicz (dislocated right shoulder) went on the 15-day disabled list April 17, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on April 30. He had surgery April 20, and he is unlikely to return before September.
