Jason Schmidt Hits The DL
Jason Schmidt has gone on the 15-day DL for his continued shoulder troubles. Marlon Anderson has taken his place on the 25-man roster.
Update from Will Carroll in today's UTK, clearly written before this happened:
Jason Schmidt said "something's still not right" with his shoulder. Not breaking news there, and Stan Conte's going to get to really earn his money. An adjustment to his between-start regimen gave him back some velocity, but not much. His best fastball was at 88 if you go with the scouts watching the game, or 87 if you go by MLB's Gameday. Either way, the improvement wasn't enough to make him effective; the Dodgers believe that Schmidt has to at least touch 90 to get by, though I'm a bit confused by that logic. I think that absent any adjustment, Schmidt does need that velocity, and it's very tough to change style and substance of pitching in-season, especially alongside dealing with injuries. The team has pitching depth, but as of now, Schmidt is still listed as making his next start. We'll see.
