Buster Posey goes to the seven day concussion disabled list after his beaning on Monday. Posey was hot, with a .333/.481/.571 slash line.
The Braves placed Matt Kemp on the 10-day DL.
Kemp hasn’t played since Friday. He took batting practice Sunday and though the injury isn’t believed to be serious, he went to the DL as a precaution.
He was off to a fast start, going 8-for-16 with four doubles and two homers in the first week of the season.
The 10 day DL gives a player a chance to heal a minor injury without putting the club at a disadvantage.
Jean Segura also goes on the DL with a bad hamstring:
The 27-year-old started off this season by hitting .313 (10-for-32) from the leadoff spot, with one homer, three RBIs, six runs and three stolen bases through Seattle’s first eight games.


With the time shortened, I wonder if clubs will use the DL more. And if more guys go on the DL, it means more chances for kids down on the farm. Or veterans stashed at AAA.
