Dodgers send Furcal to DL

Posted: Tue May 13 2:31 AM

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Dodgers placed shortstop Rafael Furcal on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 6, on Monday due to a lower back injury.

Furcal did not travel with the team to Milwaukee, where they will begin a three-game series against the Brewers on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old Furcal underwent an MRI and received a cortisone injection in his sprained sacroiliac joint. He will begin to rehab the injury on Wednesday.

In 32 games this season, Furcal is batting .366 with five home runs, 16 RBI and 34 runs scored.

The club is expected to purchase the contract of infielder Luis Maza from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill the vacant roster spot.
