Dodgers placed SS Dee Gordon on the 15-day disabled list with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb. Gordon will undergo surgery on the thumb and is expected to miss six weeks. It's an awful blow for the speedy shortstop, who was already struggling in his second season in the big leagues. Luis Cruz will make the start at shortstop on Thursday night, but Elian Herrera and Jerry Hairston, Jr. could also fill in for now.
