According to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, the Dodgers’ Carl Crawford will be placed on the DL. The OF has suffered a torn oblique and currently there isn’t a timetable to determine his return.
“It’s a bad tear,” Crawford said.

Bill Shakin, also of the Los Angeles Times, eluded that oblique tears usually take about a month to heal. This also marks the fifth time Carl Crawford has been placed on DL in the past four years.
He has been struggling on the field/staying healthy since leaving the Tampa Bay Rays in 2010. The Dodgers have had some major injury problems. Carl Crawford now joins Yasiel Puig on the DL.
BleacherReport.com writes the following:
“At least L.A. has depth to turn to in its rotation. Veteran Andre Ethier is still in the fold, as are Scott Van Slyke and Alex Guerrero, who will likely vie for reps in left field.
Van Slyke has had a hit in the past six games in which he’s appeared entering Tuesday’s action, but Guerrero will get the start against the San Francisco Giants, per Shaikin.”
