Doug Mientkiewicz was placed on the 15-day disabled list today after he dislocated his right shoulder sliding into second-base in the Dodgers' win over the Giants. Blake DeWitt will take his place in the roster after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque. DeWitt beat out Xavier Paul for the spot, despite the fact that Paul is batting .571. Mientkiewicz will undergo surgery after an MRI revealed his shoulder was completely dislocated, with part of the labrum pulled off, according to Tony Jackson of the LA Daily News. The team trainer estimates it will be at least three months before Doug can return, while Joe Torre and Ned Colletti believe September is more likely.
