Dodgers place Loaiza on DL
로아이자를 대신할 후보로는 지난해 어깨부상으로 시즌 대부분을 쉰 브라조반을 우선 꼽고 있습니다. 5월 다저스 경기일정이 휴일이 많기 때문에 5월 17일까지 로아이자가 등판할 필요가 없어 그 때까지는 복귀하지 않을 것으로 보고 있습니다. 제이슨 슈미트도 있는데 5월 17일까지는 등판 준비가 되지 않는다고 합니다.
다른 후보로 클레이튼 커쇼를 들고 있습니다. 올해 더블A에서 1.08 방어율을 기록했고 수요일 경기에서 1이닝을 던졌습니다. 다저스 구단은 시즌 막판 콜업을 위해 커쇼의 이닝을 제한하고 있답니다.
아래 기사에서도 박찬호선수의 언급은 없네요. 여전히 구단이나 현지 분위기는 박찬호선수를 선발감으로 보고 있지 않는 듯 합니다.

Dodgers place Loaiza on DL
The Dodgers, who are off on Thursday, will replace Loaiza before Friday night's game with Houston. It most likely will be a pitcher and the leading candidate to be promoted is Triple-A right-hander Yhency Brazoban, who would be returning to the Major Leagues after missing most of last season with shoulder surgery.
Loaiza has a 1-2 record and a 5.62 ERA, having been given the ball three times as the fifth starter, most recently when he allowed five runs in 2 1/3 innings at Coors Field.
Because of off-days this month, the Dodgers won't need a fifth starter until May 17. Loaiza, disabled retroactively to Sunday, won't be active at that point. Jason Schmidt, who could take over the fifth-starter job at some point, is nearing the start of an injury rehabilitation assignment, nearly 11 months after right shoulder surgery, but he won't be ready by May 17.
Another option would be 20-year-old phenom Clayton Kershaw, who has a 1.08 ERA at Double-A Jacksonville and who threw one inning in relief on Wednesday. The Dodgers are trying to ration Kershaw's innings so he will still be effective late in the season for a Major League callup.
