More for less: 10-day DL more popular than 15-day

How big a difference has the 10-day disabled list made this season? A lot, if you look at the early numbers. Through Sunday, the Dodgers had used the 10-day disabled list 17 times, including twice for pitcher Rich Hill.

Last season at this time, the Dodgers had used the 15-day DL seven times.

In all, the 10-day disabled list has been used 97 times in the National League, compared to the 15-day DL 58 times last season. The Dodgers account for nearly 25% of that increase.

Here’s a look at how many times NL teams have used the 10-day DL this season, compared to the 15-day DL through May 14 of last season.
