Repko to miss season

Jason Repko will undergo surgery on Wednesday in Los Angeles to reattached two tendons in his left hamstring that he tore from the pelvis (there are three such tendons, he tore two of them). Trainer Stan Conte said the recovery time is a minimum of five months, which means, in Conte's words, "Essentially, he will miss the season." ... The money coming to the Dodgers from the Brewers in today's trade is $2.1 million, the exact amount of the difference between Brady Clark's salary ($3.8M) and Elmer Dessens' ($1.7M). Clark is entering the final season of a two-year, $7M deal. He'll be a fourth outfielder and right-handed bat off the bench who can play all three OF spots.
