Four starts into his comeback, Jason Schmidt is back home... on the disabled list, that is.
Schmidt was placed on the 15-day DL with right shoulder soreness. The plan, according to Joe Torre, is to have him rehab and possibly contribute to the big club in September.
Color me skeptical, but I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe Torre is envisioning him in the bullpen, especially when rosters expand. But I just can't see him being in the starting rotation again. It's not like he can get deep in games, so that seems unlikely.
Perhaps we've seen the last of Schmidt in his highly disappointing Dodgers' career. With the way his body has crumbled on him, it certainly wouldn't be a surprise if he's done.
In his place, Tony Abreu has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque. He hasn't been in L.A. since 2007 because of hip and groin problems. He was hitting .342 in the minors, so that's a good sign.
