Jason Schmidt, P, Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday 5/9, 12:46 PM CT
Jason Schmidt is making progress in his rehab from bursitis in his shoulder, according to the LA Times. However, it's still too early to tell when he'll be able to return to the mound. "I have no clue," he said. "I've only played catch. At 30 feet. So who knows? I could do that left-handed. But as far as progress, it's nice to get out there and be doing something different [rather] than just sitting around."
Dodgers placed RHP Jason Schmidt on 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 17, with a right shoulder injury.
The Dodgers didn't say who would take Schmidt's rotation spot on Thursday. Mark Hendrickson, Chad Billingsley and Brett Tomko all qualify as candidates. Schmidt didn't complain of any pain while his velocity floundered in his last two outings, but he also refused to complain early in the season. There's probably some pretty serious damage in his shoulder and it may be that surgery will become necessary.
