LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers placed left-handed reliever Grant Dayton on the 10-day disabled list on Thursday with neck stiffness and recalled outfielder Scott Van Slyke from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Dayton last pitched Friday night in San Diego, allowing one run in 1 2/3 innings. He has a 3.63 ERA in 27 games and spent 11 days in April on the DL with an intercostal strain.
Van Slyke returns after being optioned May 18 with a .122 batting average. He was hitting .233 at OKC.
