LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers closer Takashi Saito was diagnosed Tuesday with a sprained elbow ligament, will attempt to rehabilitate without surgery and be sidelined for at least six weeks, according to the club.
Saito, 38, was diagnosed by Dodgers surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who apparently ruled out surgery for the time being. A sprain means the ligament is either stretched or torn. Saito represents the 15th Dodgers injury requiring placement on the disabled list this season.
