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.
