LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers have put right-hander Bud Norris on the 15-day disabled list with a strained muscle in his back.
Righty Ross Stripling was activated and started Saturday against Boston. The move with Norris was retroactive to Monday.
Norris, acquired in a five-player deal from Atlanta in June, had to leave a start last Sunday against Arizona after facing just two batters.
