Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) – For the third time this season, the Los Angeles Dodgers have placed outfielder Matt Kemp on the 15-day disabled list.<\/p>\n
Kemp’s latest trip to the DL stems from a sprained left ankle he sustained Sunday, the same day he was activated from his previous DL stint for left AC joint inflammation.<\/p>\n
The two-time All-Star was injured in the ninth inning of the Dodgers’ 7-2 victory over the Washington Nationals when he appeared to roll his ankle on a play at the plate.<\/p>\n
Kemp, who has missed 37 games already this season, was batting .263 with five home runs and 27 RBI.<\/p>\n
To replace Kemp on the roster, the Dodgers activated pitcher Ted Lilly from the 15-day DL.<\/p>\n
Lilly last pitched for the Dodgers on June 4, when he was tagged for five runs — four earned — on six hits over four frames in a no-decision against San Diego.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old southpaw was placed on the DL with a neck strain on June 5 before making two rehab starts with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, where he went 1-1 with a 10.80 earned run average.<\/p>\n
Overall, Lilly has gone 0-2 with a 5.09 ERA in five starts with the Dodgers this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
