Dodgers place Brett Anderson and Scott Kazmir on the disabled list, tying an MLB record.

The Dodgers placed pitchers Brett Anderson (finger blister) and Scott Kazmir (neck inflammation) on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday. Kazmir became the 27th different player to land on the DL since the season began, which ties a major league record established by the 2012 Boston Red Sox.

Neither pitcher will be eligible to start a game before Sept. 7.

The Dodgers also optioned right-handed reliever Josh Fields to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Left-hander Luis Avilan was recalled from Triple-A, along with right-handed starter Ross Stripling and infielder Charlie Culberson.

Anderson had been scheduled to start Thursday’s game against the San Francisco Giants, but that assignment is now to be determined.
