Kemp goes to DL, Tsao comes up

Matt Kemp went on the 15-day DL with what is Grade 1 separation that isn’t supposed to take longer than two weeks to heal. RHP Chin-hui Tsao was recalled, I’m guessing just to hold down Kemp’s roster spot for a couple of days until Rafael Furcal comes off the DL on Friday. With Tomko having not pitched since March 31, Grady isn’t looking for more than four or five innings out of him tonight, so it made sense to go with a 12th pitcher for now, but even Grady admitted there was no glaring need for one — and there certainly won’t be a glaring need when Furcal comes back. Tsao also can go two innings, which he’ll almost undoubtedly be called upon to do behind Tomko.
