Injury Thursday

Troy Percival left the game against Oakland with an injury today. Is it time to call up David Price?

Shoulder tendinitis puts Dan Giese on the disabled list, which may accelerate the return of Phil Hughes to the majors.

Brad Penny didn't last long in the majors as he returns to the disabled list.

The move, which came a day after a stiff-shouldered Penny was tagged for six runs in a season-low three innings, was one of several the Dodgers made today.

Right-hander Cory Wade, who hasn't pitched since Saturday because of discomfort in his shoulder, also went on the DL. Taking the places of Penny and Wade on the active roster are left-hander Eric Stults and right-hander Tanyon Sturtze, who were called up from triple-A Las Vegas.

Manager Joe Torre conceded that losing Penny was a serious blow, but noted, "We're used to playing this game without Brad Penny. It's been a fact of life for the last month or so."

Update: You can add Alberto Gonzalez to the list as well.

The Rays pen pitched 7 innings today and has been used heavily this series. Price pitched yesterday. Salas or Niemann will get the call.
