Dozier Has Setback!

The Minnesota Twins have placed All Star second baseman Brian Dozier on the 15-Day DL with shoulder soreness. Dozier sees himself back on the DL for the third time this season as the injury bug has held him to just 57 games this season. Dozier missed time earlier in the season with quad tightness and he tried to sit out but was eventually placed on the DL. After returning he started to get in the swing until a broken forearm sidelined Dozier for 2 1/2 months. Dozier came back strong after coming off the 60 day DL to hit .252/.548/.836 slash while hitting 20 Home Runs and 31 RBI's. But Dozier sees himself back on the DL with shoulder soreness that is in the same arm he broke. As of right now Dozier is expected to be back after the 15 days are up and we will see how he rehabs the injury. It has been reported that the Twins will call up Ryan Rua from Triple-A Red Wings. Rua was claimed off of waivers from the Rangers in June where he was hitting .272 for the club before being DFA. Rua was mashing in Triple-A hitting .340 with 15 Home Runs and 32 RBI's.
