Charlie Haeger has been placed on the 15-day DL with plantar fasciitis, and John Ely has once again been recalled. Ely was originally sent down to make room for Jeff Weaver a few days ago. Even though players are supposed to wait 10 days to be recalled, since Ely's replacing an injured player of the same position, it's allowed.
Who knows how much this injury has affected Haeger, especially on Saturday night when he got yanked without recording a single out. His numbers are just putrid so far at 0-4 with an 8.49 ERA. I don't want to go so far to say that his injury isn't that bad because that wouldn't be fair to speculate. But, I'm sure the Dodgers are willing to take their time as he tries to figure his stuff out.
As for Ely, he pitched really well against the Brewers last week, so he deserves another chance. He'll get the ball on Tuesday in Arizona. Since the Dodgers are still searching for anyone to claim the final two spots of the rotation, it'll be his spot to lose.
