bummer: rollins to dl

Jimmy Rollins has been put on the 15-day DL with a calf strain. He is eligible to come off on April 28, in San Francisco, but may well be out longer. Rollins was off to a hot start, batting .391, taking walks, and scoring eight runs in the first week of play. Veteran infielder Wilson Valdez has been called up from Triple-A to be a back-up to Juan Castro, who will be filling in for Rollins. What a bummer. Jimmy is always missed when he is not in the line-up. Victorino will hit lead-off in the interim.
