Chris Capuano is expected to be scratched from his start Monday against the Padres.

Capuano suffered a strained triceps muscle in his pitching arm in Wednesday's loss and is considered day-to-day. The Dodgers will call up Stephen Fife from Triple-A Albuquerque to start in his place.

Chris Capuano gave up six runs -- five earned -- in five innings Friday in a loss to the Cardinals.

Capuano turned in back-to-back strong outings before tonight's stinker against a fine St. Louis offense, so we'll let him off the hook. It wouldn't have mattered much if he had allowed only one or two runs anyway; the Dodger offense wasn't getting anything done in the shutout tonight.

Chris Capuano limited the Braves to one earned run over 7 1/3 innings Saturday in a no-decision.

And that one run scored via a two-run homer that Evan Gattis hit off Kenley Jansen in the bottom of the eighth inning. Capuano was fantastic, yielding five hits and no walks while striking out five. He has been excellent in his last two outings and can be trusted again in deeper mixed fantasy leagues (though maybe not for his next start). Capuano will face the red-hot Cardinals on Friday.

Chris Capuano allowed one run on five hits and had seven strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings in a win Sunday over the Marlins.

Capuano was lit up for six runs in his return from the DL, but he took advantage of pitching against the weak-hitting Marlins. The seven strikeouts is more an indictment on Miami's lineup than it is a sign of things to come from Capuano. His only mistake came on a sole home run to Justin Ruggiano in the sixth inning. Capuano's next start will come on Saturday vs. the Braves.

Chris Capuano was lit up in his return from the disabled list Monday, giving up six runs - five earned - over just four innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

Capuano permitted eight hits - including a pair of homers - while walking a pair. The two longballs came in the fifth inning, as the left-hander allowed back-to-back shots to Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Ross before manager Don Mattingly gave him the hook. Capuano then threw a temper tantrum in the dugout, tossing a water cooler and a tray of gum. The southpaw remains someone to monitor in mixed leagues, but with a 10.38 ERA and 2.31 WHIP, he can't be trusted this weekend even against the Marlins.

Dodgers activated LHP Chris Capuano from the 15-day disabled list.

He'll get the start on Monday against the Diamondbacks. Capuano has put up an ugly 9.64 ERA and 2.14 WHIP over his three appearances this season but is worth owning in deeper mixed leagues.

Chris Capuano (calf) is expected to return from the disabled list to start on Monday against the Diamondbacks.

That would allow Josh Beckett an extra day of rest, pushing him back until Tuesday. Capuano pitched well in his minor league rehab assignment on Wednesday, and experienced no renewed soreness in his injured left calf. With all of the injuries the Dodgers have experienced in the rotation, Capuano has an opportunity to secure a spot for the remainder of the season if he pitches well.

Chris Capuano (calf) allowed two runs over 5 1/3 innings Wednesday in a rehab start at Triple-A Albuquerque.

Capuano walked only one batter and struck out four, and could be cleared to return to the Dodgers' starting rotation early next week if he experiences no renewed soreness over the next couple of days. The 34-year-old left-hander has been on the 15-day disabled list since April 17 with a strained left calf muscle.

Chris Capuano (calf) will make a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Albuquerque.

If all goes well, he should return to the Dodgers rotation early next week. In three appearances (one start) before landing on the DL, Capuano had a 9.64 ERA and 2.14 WHIP. He's nothing more than NL-only option.

Chris Capuano (calf) threw a bullpen session and a 34-pitch simulated game on Saturday.

The next step in his recovery process will be making a rehab start at Triple-A Alburquerque on Tuesday or Wednesday. If all goes well with that start, Capuano will be cleared to return to the Dodgers rotation, making his next start on May 6 or May 7. If available, he makes for an intriguing addition in mixed leagues.

Chris Capuano (calf) could throw a simulated game on Sunday, then would likely require a minor league rehab start before returning from the disabled list.

Capuano is expected to return from the disabled list as soon as he's eligible on May 3. With Chad Billingsley out for the season and Zack Greinke firmly planted on the disabled list, Capuano should get plenty of starts to show what he can do for the Dodgers. He could make for an intriguing addition in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues.

Chris Capuano threw a bullpen session on Wednesday and reported no discomfort in his left calf.

Capuano is expected to return from the 15-day disabled list on May 3 -- the first day he is eligible. He will make one rehab start before rejoining the Dodgers' rotation.

Chris Capuano (calf) will throw a bullpen session either Tuesday or Wednesday.

The left-hander has been throwing on flat ground with no issues. Capuano could be ready to make a rehab start prior to May 2, when he is first eligible to return from the disabled list. It sounds like, barring a setback, that he'll be ready to rejoin the Dodgers' rotation early next month.

Chris Capuano underwent an MRI on Thursday which confirmed the original diagnosis of a left calf strain.

Capuano received a platelet-rich plasma injection to help the healing process. It's not yet known how long he'll be sidelined. Ted Lilly will take his place in the rotation for now.

The Dodgers have revealed that Chris Capuano originally suffered his left calf strain last week during the brawl with the Padres.

Capuano felt tightness before that game and felt it worsen while sprinting in from the bullpen to join in on the melee. The left-hander thought treatment left him well enough to start four days later, but he wound up leaving in the third inning Tuesday after aggravating the ailment. Capuano will have an MRI and receive a platelet-rich plasma injection on Thursday before the club determines how long he might be sidelined.

Dodgers placed LHP Chris Capuano on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left calf.

It's not clear exactly what the MRI on Capuano's calf revealed, but obviously it was bad enough to necessitate a DL move. With Capuano and Zack Greinke on the DL and Aaron Harang now in Seattle, the Dodgers will turn to Ted Lilly to fill out the back-end of their rotation.

Chris Capuano will undergo an MRI on his strained left calf.

Capuano injured himself while covering first base in the second inning and ultimately had to leave the game in the third. The Dodgers will have a better idea of what they are dealing with after he goes for the exam on Wednesday or Thursday. Assuming he requires a stint on the disabled list, Ted Lilly (shoulder) figures to replace him in the starting rotation.

Chris Capuano left Tuesday's start in the third inning with a left leg injury.

Capuano suffered what looked like a hamstring injury while covering first base in the second inning. He came back out for the start of the third but was then removed after walking the leadoff hitter. If Capuano has to miss any time, which seems likely, Ted Lilly would surely replace him in the rotation.

Chris Capuano will take Zack Greinke's spot in the Dodgers' starting rotation.

Capuano is scheduled to take his first turn on Tuesday night against the Padres and makes for a decent streaming option in mixed fantasy leagues. The 34-year-old lefty posted a 3.72 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 162/54 K/BB ratio across 198 1/3 innings last season. Greinke is expected to miss eight weeks with a broken collarbone.

Chris Capuano spun seven scoreless innings in a minor league game Monday with scouts from the Mariners, Pirates, Rangers and Indians in attendance.

Capuano got off to a terrible start this spring but appears to be rounding into form, as he was really good in his last Cactus League outing, as well. The Dodgers still figure to trade at least one of Capuano or Aaron Harang prior to Opening Day.
