| Denver, CO (MySportsbook) - The Los Angeles Dodgers activated pitcher Takashi Saito from the 60-day disabled list on Saturday.

To make room on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers placed outfielder Andruw Jones on the 60-day disabled list with right knee soreness. Jones has suffered through a miserable year in his first season with LA. In 75 games, the power-hitting 31-year-o |

The 6-7 Johnson missed all but four starts in 2007 with shoulder problems, then didn't debut this season until June 10, when he tossed five innings in a no-decision against the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 10 starts before the St. Louis loss, Johnson allowed 65 hits and 23 runs in 63 2/3 innings. He is 1-0 in four career starts against the Nationals. Journeyman right-hander Tim Redding looks for a fifth straight start without a loss for the Nats. |
