Pierre to DL for first time in his career, Repko to majors for first time this season
JP has a sprained MCL in his left knee. That's what the MRI showed. Doesn't sound like something that will keep him out for a long period, but I'm not a doctor, so that's just a guess. Also just a guess: Repko probably leading off tonight, but the lineup isn't here yet.

Pierre would have never gotten hurt If he was our 4th outfielder like he should be. BUT since he isn't this will work just fine. At least we get a break from watching Pierre try to lead off.
Great Dodgers finally come to visit Houston and I get to see the great Dodger Jason Repko. Yippie. Oh well this is going to be the only 4 Dodger games I get this year. GO DODGERS
The Vero Beach Curse continues--now to Pierre who's never been on the DL. Dodgers now have over $80 million in payroll on the DL. The VB Curse lives!
So that's almost $80 million on the DL, Tony?
Something like that. It's late, I took a redeye last night, and I'm too tired to do the math.
Nice work by Repko last night. Only a balk saves him from striking out five times. Then he misplays a fly ball. Solid effort.
