The Dodgers broke the record.

The Dodgers added Clayton Kershaw to their active roster today so he can start against the Miami Marlins.

As a small but historic footnote, the Dodgers set a record in the process.

To create room for Kershaw on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers recalled right-handed pitcher Carlos Frias from Triple-A Oklahoma City and placed him on the 60-day disabled list. The Dodgers now have 28 players on the disabled list this year, surpassing the 2012 Boston Red Sox for the most by a team since 1987.

The Dodgers have lost more man-games to DL stints this season than any major league team.
