Shawn Tolleson - R - Dodgers

Dodgers placed RHP Shawn Tolleson on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 13, with a lower back strain.

Shawn Tolleson - R - Dodgers

Dodgers recalled RHP Shawn Tolleson from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Tolleson nearly earned the final spot in the Dodgers bullpen out of spring training, and had already racked up 5 2/3 scoreless innings at Triple-A. He'll take Zack Greinke's spot on the roster for now, but he might not be up for long, as Ted Lilly (shoulder) could soon be activated from the disabled list.

Shawn Tolleson - R - Dodgers

Dodgers reliever Shawn Tolleson left Friday's Cactus League contest after being struck by a comebacker on the back of his right elbow.

Tolleson already had an injury scare last week when he felt a popping sensation in his left knee during an outing against the Padres, but was given the clearance to return to baseball activities. Provided this is only a minor injury scare, he's still fighting for one of the final spots in the Dodgers Opening Day bullpen.

Shawn Tolleson - R - Dodgers

Dodgers purchased contract of RHP Shawn Tolleson from Triple-A Albuquerque.

The 2010 30th-round pick out of Baylor has posted a 1.35 ERA over 102 total appearances in the minors, including a ludicrous 178/28 K/BB rate across 120 innings. The success has justifiably gotten him onto the prospect radar; he was ranked as the organization's 11th and 15th best prospect, respectively, by Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America. Los Angeles will give Tolleson a look in low-leverage situations while Javy Guerra mends on the disabled list.
