Bad news for the Dodgers, as they'll have to live without their #2 starter for a little while:
Groin Strain Sends Chad Billingsley To Disabled List
Chad Billingsley to the DL with a groin strain.
...
Billingsley felt something in his last start, according to Torre.
Groin strains aren't the end of the world on their own, but it's the tendency of theirs to linger that causes one to raise his eyebrows. Still, with Clayton Kershaw, John Ely, and Hiroki Kuroda all pitching well, the Dodgers at least aren't starved for arms. Additionally, Vicente Padilla is supposed to come off the DL this weekend, which should only further strengthen the staff.
If this is good news for anyone, it's good news for Carlos Monasterios, who should stick in the rotation just a little while longer. Check out True Blue LA for more.
