Dodgers recall Chris Heisey from Triple-A, place Scott Van Slyke (back) on disabled list.

DENVER — Chris Heisey has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City for his fourth stint in the majors this season. He’s in the starting lineup in Game 1 of a doubleheader Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies.

Scott Van Slyke was placed on the 15-day disabled list with mid-back tightness. Van Slyke said Saturday in St. Louis that he believed the issue was behind him after having missed the previous three games.

Van Slyke went 0 for 3 that night and did not play Sunday or Monday. He has a .264/.313/.402 slash line in 34 games this season, but only has four hits and two walks in his last 38 plate appearances.

Heisey, 30, has appeared in five games for the Dodgers this season and collected one hit and five walks.
