DeWitt Back Up After One Day in AAA
Blake DeWitt will be recalled Saturday to replace the injured Nomar Garciaparra (calf) as the team’s starting third baseman, the Dodgers’ official site reports. Garciaparra left Friday night’s game against the Rockies with the injury. With Blake DeWitt getting sent down on Thursday and the Dodgers having no other third basemen on the roster, Russell Martin had to go from behind the plate to replace Garciaparra at third base. Strange roster management by the Dodgers - who could have foreseen Nomar possibly getting hurt? DeWitt makes the flight back to Los Angeles after having just flown to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday. He’ll bat eighth in the lineup. (Rotowire)
