Milton Figures to Miss Season

Eric Milton will most likely be finished for the rest of the season after suffering a herniated disk. He underwent surgery today to remove the problematic disk, and figures to be transferred to the 60-day disabled list. The Dodgers signed Milton during the off-season to be one of the candidates for the fifth-starter role, but a terrible Spring Training forced him to start the season in Triple-A Albuquerque. when James McDonald could not fulfill the role though, Milton was called up to replace him in the rotation. There is no word as to who will be the full-time fifth starter once the All Star break ends.
