Injury Notes: Norris, Hill, Zimmerman, Jennings

By charliewilmoth | August 6, 2016 at 2:35pm CDT

Here are several injury notes from around the game.

  • The Dodgers have announced that they’ve placed Bud Norris on the 15-day DL with a mild back strain (retroactive to August 1) and recalled fellow righty Ross Stripling to take his place. As SB Nation’s Eric Stephen points out (on Twitter), Norris is the 26th Dodger to head to the DL this season. Stripling will start for the Dodgers today against the Red Sox. Norris has posted a 4.34 ERA, 9.9 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 29 innings with Los Angeles since arriving in a late-June trade with the Braves.
  • The Dodgers’ need to reshuffle their rotation goes beyond Norris right now, too, as new acquisition Rich Hill has been scratched from his start on Sunday (as the Los Angeles Times’ Mike DiGiovanna tweets) due to remnants of his blister problem. Brandon McCarthy will take Hill’s place. Hill remains on the DL, where he’s been since he was still in the Athletics organization. He hopes to make his Dodgers debut Friday, as FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal tweets.
  • The Nationals have placed first baseman Ryan Zimmerman on the 15-day DL with a left wrist contusion, MASN’s Dan Kolko tweets. Zimmerman was hit by a pitch last Sunday and has not played since. To replace him on the active roster, outfielder Brian Goodwin will begin his first stint in the big leagues. It’s been a tough season for the 31-year-old Zimmerman, who has hit just .222/.284/.394 in 335 plate appearances. The 25-year-old Goodwin, a former first-round pick and top prospect, was hitting .284/.350/.434 for Triple-A Syracuse.
  • The Rays have announced that they’ve placed Desmond Jennings on the 15-day DL with a left knee contusion, activating fellow outfielder Mikie Mahtook (hand) from the DL to take his place. It’s been a very rough go for the 29-year-old Jennings, who’s batted just .200/.281/.350 in 225 plate appearances this season while also missing time due to a hamstring strain. Notably, Jennings also missed most of last season after having arthroscopic left knee surgery and then bruising the knee late in the season.

      Is it true the Dodgers DL team could win a pennant?

        Dunno about that but the Disabled Dodger rotation has to be the greatest ever.

          Seems legit, especially with Kershaw leading the pack.

    What an odd career McCarthy has had. This is his 11th year. Total of 1042 IP, 163 starts. Only two qualifying seasons. Lifetime ERA+ of 101, career bWAR of 10.5. ^ different teams. Through the balance of his current contract, earnings of $70M. Tantalizing when he is actually able to get on the mound.

    As a Dodger fan it’s extremely frustrating with all these injuries and then we go and trade for an injured pitcher. The Dodgers should have the best trainers and physical therapists around yet somehow players are still getting silly injuries (strains and pulls).

    Kinda off topic but I really hope Kazmir opts out. Stripling, Urias, and DeLeon will all be better options at this time next year.

    Kershaw
    Maeda
    McCarthy
    Urias
    FA/Stripling/De Leon

    should be a good rotation.

      I dont see Kazmir opting out unless he strings together a much better second half.

        Little late for that considering we’re down to the final third of the season with no sign of improvement. The Dodgers figure to be stuck with him.

      With such a weak free agent class he actually might. Rich hills the only one who is clearly better than him.

        Yea I don’t see him staying. I’m pretty sure he knew he was going to opt out regardless of his production this year. He will be basically the best arm out there. I think the Dodgers will trade Puig and get a back of the end guy like maybe James shields.

          His option is a guarantee of $17.7M for each of his age 33 and 34 seasons. I realize salaries are constantly inflating, especially for starting pitching, but that’s way more than journeyman money for less than journeyman performance.

          Agreed, I don’t think he will opt out, especially with how this season has played out so far. I seriously doubt he could get $17M on the open market, and even then with this being a down year, he may not be able to get more than two years as teams may think this may be the beginning of a downward spiral as he is not young anymore.
