HBT: Dodgers lose another starter: Billingsley DL'd

Chad Billingsley was scheduled to start for the Dodgers in Sunday afternoon?s series finale at Camden Yards. But that?s not going to happen.

Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times reports that Billingsley has been placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 16, with discomfort in his pitching elbow. Stephen Fife has been recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding roster move and will make the start against Baltimore.

Billingsley opted for platelet-rich plasma treatment over Tommy John surgery when he was diagnosed last year with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. Now he?ll probably be forced to reconsider.

The Dodgers opened the season with a surplus of starting pitching. But that surplus is gone.
