hiroki kurodaDodgers opening day starter Hiroki Kuroda was placed on the disabled list yesterday with an oblique strain that will keep him out minimally until April 22, 2009.  The Japanese righthander will be replaced by lefthander Eric Stults from AAA Albuquerque.   Stults owns a 4.83 ERA in 14 starts for the Dodgers in his three year career and is not worthy of a pick-up in any fantasy league.

Oblique strains can go one or the other…but I would expect Kuroda to return at the end of the month and return to his spot in the rotation in either Houston or Colorado.
