Dodgers first baseman Nomar Garciaparra probably will be placed on the 15-day disabled list today with a strained muscle in his right side, an injury he suffered during Sunday's Freeway Series finale at Angel Stadium.

"He could be out for a little while," general manager Ned Colletti said. "We'll re-evaluate him (today) and make a decision."

To fill Garciaparra's roster spot, the club likely will recall highly touted first-base prospect James Loney from Triple-A Las Vegas.
