Saito having problems..DL bound?

[quitesanemax]

That would be one of the better scenarios I have heard for us Dotel owners... I was planning on basically losing Dotel as a closer by the end of the month.

If Saito's injury becomes a bigger problem, I think the Dodgers won't rely on Broxton but probably go get someone. Maybe Dotel...

They`d be better off with Soria. Is only Dotel available from KC?

If Saito does not come out tonight for the save, I say he's DL bound.

[damnitman]

Looks like broxton is coming in..Saito to DL?

[BJSFAN123]

Saito not in today...hope it's not too serious. Broxton is not doing a very good job saving the game right now

[converge241]

hit, wild pitch, error... blown save

[kemper5]

Broxton is doing horrible. I looked at when we came in late May early June to close and he gave up many a run (11 ER) over a span of 6 games. He probably is not designed for this just yet.

[BJSFAN123]

He doesn't seem comfortable in the closers role, any possibility someone else closes if saito does go on the dl?

From Rotowire:

Takashi Saito (P) LA
Saito missed his fourth consecutive game Sunday and has expressed concern over shoulder blade discomfort that he indicated is similar to disk problems he had while pitching in Japan, the Dodgers official site reports. For his part, manager Grady Little said he's been told the injury "is not that serious" and that Saito would fly with the club to Houston after Sunday's game and not be disabled. For now, Saito is day-to-day and Jonathan Broxton will be in line for saves as long as he is unavailable.

Tough call for those of us who have to set their lineups for the week tonight......
