Dotel to the DL

You've probably saw by now that Octavio Dotel was placed on the 15-day DL with a strained left oblique. The Royals purchased the contract of Jason Standridge from Omaha to replace Dotel's spot. The Royals knew that they were taking a risk when they signed Dotel. Thankfully, this injury isn't related to the Tommy John surgery he had in 2005. So, for now, David Riske will be the closer and Todd Wellemeyer will probably pitch a little later in games that originally planned.
