According to Arash Markazi of ESPN.com the Los Angeles Dodgers have placed pitcher Chris Withrow on the 60-day DL.

Withrow is in the midst of recovering from Tommy John surgery. The former first round pick appeared in 20 games for the Dodgers last season. He posted a 2.95 ERA in 21.1 innings of work.

NBCSports.com reports the following on Chris Withrow:

“Withrow will need three months of recovery time, but it’s not expected to delay his return to the majors. Either way, he’s not likely to be a factor until around midseason next year.”

On January 31st he spoke to ESPN.com about how he feels with his injury. He said:

“Do I think I’ll pitch this year? Yeah, there’s a possibility,” Withrow said. “When that is, I don’t know. It’s going to be on my body to tell me when I’m ready.”

“One day I’ll feel great, and the next day I won’t feel very good,” Withrow said. “It’s been like that ever since the surgery.”

In making this move of Withrow to the DL it opened up a roster spot for Brandon Beachy. Beachy has a chance to make an impact for the Dodgers next year as long as he can stay healthy.

Below is Withrow’s stats over his career so far.
