CINCINNATI (AP) -The Los Angeles Dodgers put right-hander Brad Penny on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a sore shoulder that has bothered him for much of the season.
He went back to Los Angeles for a medical test Monday that detected tendinitis. He is 0-7 in his last eight starts, and pitched only 3 2-3 innings in a 12-7 loss to Detroit on Saturday. He is 5-9 with a 5.88 ERA this season.
Left-hander Brad Stults was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to take his spot in the rotation. He was 5-6 with a 3.59 ERA in 14 starts for Las Vegas.
Penny has been taking pain medication before his starts because of the shoulder. The former All-Star said his shoulder bothered him while he was warming up over the weekend.
