Dodgers manager Joe Torre said 3B Nomar Garciaparra (strained left calf) volunteered to play shortstop if he's ready to return from the 15-day DL before SS Rafael Furcal (back). (Updated 05/15/2008).
Injury Report
Calf - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-May (Updated - 4/27/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Garciaparra, who has been on the 15-day disabled list for the past two weeks with a strained left calf, is with the team in Milwaukee. Garciaparra is likely to make a few rehab starts before returning to the majors. Garciaparra has been on the DL twice this season and he probably doesn't have what it takes physically to play short. But if L.A. does give him a chance, he will be getting at-bats. Still, Garciaparra is more of a NL-only Fantasy option these days. (Updated 05/15/2008).

Advice
Garciaparra, who is 7-for-31 (.226) with a homer and five RBIs, is on the DL with a strained left calf. He should be returning to action shortly.
