Report: Dodgers to put Ramirez on DL
A strained right hamstring has forced Manny Ramirez to the 15-day disabled list, according to the LA Times. Dodgers manager Joe Torre said the team needed to decide whether to play a man down or send Manny to the DL. Although the move isn't official yet, Xavier Paul is expected to replace Manny if needed. Ramirez batted .460 in his last 15 games. The Dodgers are 13-15 without Manny in the lineup.
